Eurovision 2024 will be held in the Swedish city of Malmo, it is confirmed.

Sweden has chosen Malmo to serve as the host city for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024.

The Nordic country is staging next year's event after Loreen triumphed for her second time - and a record-equalling seventh time for her country - in Liverpool in May.

The dates of the contest have also been confirmed as May 7 and May 9 for the two semi-finals, with the grand final set for May 11.

"The EBU is thrilled that Malmo has been selected as the Host City for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024," said Eurovision's executive supervisor Martin Osterdahl.

"Malmo holds a special place in the history of the Contest, having successfully hosted it firstly in 1992 and then in 2013 - following Loreen's last win.

"We're excited to be returning to this vibrant and dynamic city which has demonstrated it has the venues and infrastructure that are perfect for staging the world's largest live music event."

Tickets for the live shows - plus the dress rehearsals - go on sale to fans later this year.
