Eurovision 2024: Watch the final of the extravagant international song competition live at Sheffield cinema

It’s a date that will have been in your diary since last year - the Eurovision Song Contest is returning to our television screens on Saturday. May 11.

The Light Cinema, on The Moor, will be one of the many cinemas up and down the UK that will be streaming the biggest night in the music calendar from BBC One.

Fans will come together to watch the final in the comfort of The Light’s reclining armchairs as Olly Alexander fights to score the UK some points. 

Sweden is hosting Eurovision this year in Malmö, following their victory at the 2023 contest with the song Tattoo performed by Loreen. The country has also staged the competition in Malmö in 1992 and 2013, in Stockholm in 1975, 2000 and 2016, and in Gothenburg in 1985.
