Today, SVT confirmed that Benjamin Ingrosso, Charlotte Perrelli, Sertab Erener and Helena Paparizou would perform interval acts during the Eurovision 2024 semi-finals.
A Benjamin Ingrosso medley for Semi-Final 1
During the first semi-final, Eurovision alumni Benjamin Ingrosso will perform a medley of some of his best hits. Ingrosso famously represented Sweden in Eurovision 2018, finishing seventh with “Dance you off“. He then published three number 1 albums in Sweden, and went on several tours.
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 Ingrosso
With 21 people on stage, he will perform a medley of songs from his Better Days Tour, during which he has performed all over Europe in April. He will then continue his tour with several concerts in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Just before his tour, he released a new version of his single “Kite” in collaboration with this year’s UK representative Olly Alexander.
A trio of Eurovision winners for Semi-Final 2
For the second semi-final, held on Thursday, a different kind of medley is expected in the arena. Eurovision winners Charlotte Perrelli (Sweden 1999), Sertab Erener (Türkiye 2003) and Helena Paparizou (Greece 2005) will take the stage in an innovative sing-along experience.
People, both in the arena and in front of their TV, will be able to participate. Instructions on how to do so will be given closer to the time of the actual semi-final. It is expected that people from all over the world will appear on a giant screen in the arena, singing Eurovision classics along these three stars.
