The Eurovision month has arrived and SVT revealed two of the interval acts we will see during the two semi-finals next week! And of course they are Eurovision stars!
Semi-final 1
Benjamin Ingrosso has come a long way since his 2018 participation in Eurovision. He brought his homeland and admirable 7th place in the final with his song “Dance You Off”. Since then, he had 3 albums reaching number one in Sweden, won multiple Swedish Grammy Awards, a number 1 in the Swedish single charts with the song “Kite” and a European tour!
“After I got to represent Sweden at Eurovision in 2018, it now feels great to be able to show the audience who I am today. It has been fantastic to meet all the fans on my tour in Europe during the spring and now I hope that the Eurovision audience will love this show as much as I do”
Benjamin on his upcoming appearance
Benjamin is going to perform a special medley of his greatest hits and will give us a taste of what is like to be in one of his concerts but with a much bigger production!
Semi-final 2
Three previous Eurovision winners will unite and give us the greatest Eurovision sing-along! Helena Paparizou, Sertab Erener and Charlotte Perrelli will join forces to entertain the audience of Malmö Arena and the viewers at home! Both the audience and the TV viewers will have the chance to participate in this sing-along! For those who want to be part of this interval act from the comfort of their home, information on how to do it will be given through the official social media of eurovision.tv.
Helena Paparizou had to be a part of this interval act as the Swedish born Greek superstar celebrates almost 20 years from her victory with “My Number One” in 2005 and the contest takes place on her second homeland. Helena tried to represent Sweden in Eurovision back in 2014 with the song “Survivor” but finished 4th in Melodifestivalen’s final. She will also announce the points of the Greek jury voting in the Grand Final.
Sertab Erener does a comeback in Eurovision 21 years after “Everyway That I Can” which gave Turkey their first and only up-to-date victory in 2003. The last time Turkey took part in Eurovision was in 2012. Could this appearance mean that they will be back next year? Who knows…
Charlotte Perrelli is no stranger among the Eurovision fans! Having won the contest in 1999 with “Take Me To Your Heaven” and a participation in 2008’s contest with “Hero” has established herself as a true Eurovision diva! Performing in her homeland and celebrating the 25th anniversary of her victory must be very special!
Eurovision will take place in Malmö, Sweden on Tuesday 7 May, Thursday 9 May and Saturday 11 May 2024.
