The excitement that spreads through RadioTimes.com's Going Out team in the run-up to the Eurovision Song Contest is akin to that of children on Christmas Day morning.

For the past couple of years, we've been at Eurovision parties, cheering on one of the 26 countries competing in the hope of winning 26 quid on the sweepstake. We watched as Stockholm-born singer Loreen won the competition last year with her song Tattoo, making her the second-ever contestant to win Eurovision twice.

Although the UK hasn't ranked that well in recent history – Sam Ryder's Space Man performance is not included – we can always rely on comedian Graham Norton's witty commentary to keep our spirits high.

As fun as it is watching the contest in the comfort of our own homes, watching the performances live on stage would be an out-of-this-world experience, and we know how you can secure tickets to see live Eurovision performances in 2024.

Based on the Sanremo Music Festival, which has been held in Italy since 1951, the Eurovision Song Contest has been hosted around the world since 1956, making it the longest-running international televised music competition. As of 2023, a massive 52 countries worldwide have participated in the competition at least once.

By now, we're sure you know the score: each participating country sends one original song to be performed live by a singer or group. Each country awards one to eight, then 10 and 12 points to their 10 favourite tracks, then the song with the most points is crowned the winner!

It's set to be an incredible competition, and there will be nine shows in various categories taking place live in Malmö in May 2024, including Afternoon and Evening Previews (a full run-through of the show before the televised Live Show), and Live Shows. So, are you ready to get tickets?

When speaking about the 2024 competition, Eurovision Song Contest Executive Supervisor Martin Österdahl said: "The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is thrilled that Malmö has been selected as the host city for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. Malmö 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".
