Eurovision 2024
Next year will be the 50th Anniversary of Abba winning the Eurovision Song Contest and the competition will be held in Sweden. What better time for First Aid Kit to enter if they are ever going to! Unlikely as it may seem, by liking the Tweet below, they have hinted this might actually happen! To qualify for the Eurovision finals, First Aid Kit would first have to win a tough Swedish competition called Melodifestivalen, which takes place around February/March. The deadline for submitting entries is usually around mid September of the previous year.
Next year will be the 50th Anniversary of @ABBA winning @Eurovision and the contest will be held in Sweden. Unlikely as it might seem, could @FirstAidKitBand be tempted to enter?!
