  • Eurovision 2024: When is the final and who is the UK's Olly Alexander?
    The 68th Eurovision Song Contest final is taking place on Saturday in Malmo in Sweden.
    UK entrant Olly Alexander had an automatic place in the final and will perform his song Dizzy.
    The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual televised competition organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
    The theme of the 2024 contest is "united by music", and it features 37 performers chosen to represent their country.
    Songs must be original and no more than three minutes long.
    Lead vocals must be live, and a maximum of six singers and dancers are allowed.
    Most Eurovision countries are European, but Australia takes part every year, after being invited to join Eurovision's 60th anniversary celebrations in 2015. However, Australia cannot host if it ever wins.
    Other non-European countries including Israel participate because they are members of the EBU.This is the seventh time Sweden has staged the contest, and the third time it has been held in Malmo.
    As 2024 is the 50th anniversary of Swedish group Abba's first Eurovision win with Waterloo, there had been speculation about the band's potential involvement. But Abba members told the BBC they would not perform.
    Sweden will be the first country to perform, after a random draw.
    France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK were also guaranteed a place in the final.
    After the first semi-final on Tuesday, the countries joining them were Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Finland, Cyprus, Croatia, Ireland and Luxembourg.
    The second semi-final on Thursday saw a further 10 acts qualify, from Latvia, Austria, The Netherlands, Norway, Israel, Greece, Estonia, Switzerland, Georgia and Armenia.
