Sweden’s SVT has revealed details of the stage and lighting design for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, which takes place in Malmö in May.
Movable LED cubes, LED floors, light, video and stage technology will all be used inside the arena, with the cross-shaped stage placed right in the middle of the audience.
The aim of the design, said SVT, is to make the audience more of a focus than ever before, both inside the arena and for viewers watching on TV.
The look has been created by Florian Wieder, production designer, and Fredrik Stormby, light and screen content designer.
Ebba Adielsson, Eurovision 2024 executive producer, said: “It is with great pride that we present our vision of the stage and lighting design for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. We have not seen anything like this before at Eurovision and the concept gives us endless opportunities to create unique spaces and expressions for both the competing artists and the opening and interval acts.”
Stromby added: “We believe that together we have created what is an unexpected and updated concept for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 and are looking forward to showing it off for real! I am honoured to have been commissioned to design the light and video in collaboration with the team from our studio, and the production team that SVT has put into place for the project.
“We’ve developed a strong concept together, and I’m really looking forward to the continued collaboration in production, the creative process with the delegations, and eventually getting my teeth into the show and doing the broadcasts!”
