Global interest in the Eurovision Song Contest is growing. When the world's largest music competition takes place in Malm\u00f6 in May, audiences from over 80 different countries will come. The major Eurovision countries are well represented, but Malm\u00f6 receives visitors from virtually every corner and continent of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 approaches, Malm\u00f6 is preparing for a global folk festival with ticket buyers from all over the world. The UK tops the list of foreign visitors, accounting for almost a fifth of total ticket sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, interest in the event extends far beyond Europe's borders, with the USA and Australia in the top ten along with Germany, Denmark and Spain. Malm\u00f6 will also receive long-distance visits from fans from countries such as Mexico, Brazil and New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is truly fantastic that Malm\u00f6 is able to welcome Eurovision fans and visitors from such a large and diverse part of the world. It clearly demonstrates the event's appeal and ability to unite people through music, culture and diversity,\u201d says Karin Karlsson, lead project manager for Malm\u00f6's hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more people are discovering Malm\u00f6 as a destination, a trend that has been evident for many years. The cultural offering, the rich food culture and the great diversity in a small area that is easy to get around attract many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 186 nations represented in the population and located closest to the continent, Malm\u00f6 is not only Sweden's window to the world but also the gateway to Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 We see Malm\u00f6 as a place where people, cultural expressions and traditions can meet and get to know each other. Our event should also reflect this. When people from over 80 countries are welcomed by Malm\u00f6 residents with backgrounds in over 180 nations, it can be incredibly exciting, says Karin Karlsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foreign ticket buyers account for 66 percent of the total number of tickets sold so far. The remaining 34 percent come from Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 It is also very nice that there are so many visitors from our own country, who see Eurovision and the folk festival we create as an opportunity to experience and get to know Malm\u00f6. We are planning an incredibly broad program in the city with a focus on music. Even if you are not a Eurovision fan or a schlager fan, we can guarantee that the program offers something for you, Karin Karlsson points out.
