The Eurovision Song Contest is about to commence! Tonight, the 2024 edition gets underway in Malmo, Sweden with the first of the semi-finals.
Fifteen countries will take to the stage to perform their entries and the top 10 - as determined by televotes - will earn places in Saturday night's grand final.
In addition to those 15, three of the six pre-qualified countries for the final - the United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden - will also be performing their entries in full on the main stage.
Eurovision legend Petra Mede is hosting alongside Swedish actress Malin Akerman, while other performers tonight include Eleni Foureira, Eric Saade, Chanel, Benjamin Ingrosso and Johnny Logan.
The semi-final begins at 8pm UK time and will air live on BBC One.
