Eurovision Song Contest 2024: Early frontrunners to succeed in Sweden
Ireland's entry for Eurovision 2024 was confirmed on last week's Late Late Show Eurosong special
Ireland's entry for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest was confirmed last Friday when Bambie Thug triumphed on the Late Late Show Eurosong special.
The Cork native, who will perform the song 'Doomsday Blue', represents Ireland in Sweden this May.
On Tuesday, the semi-final draw was revealed ahead of the May 7 start date in Malmö.
Ireland will compete in SEMI-FINAL 1 (Tuesday, May 7) and are set to take to the stage during the first half of the live show.
The second semi-final takes place on Thursday, May 9 before the grand final on Saturday, May 11.
Ireland, seven-time winners of the song contest, last qualified for a Eurovision grand final in 2018, making it six years since the country has progressed past the semi-final stage.
Bambi Thug will aim to break that curse this year.
