The EBU and SVT have just launched the stage design for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. The next edition of the show is set to take place at the Malmö Arena, in Sweden.
Florian Wieder, Production Designer, and Fredrik Stormby, Light and Screen Content Designer created the 2024 stage design. It features movable LED cubes, LED floors and a cross-shaped main stage in the audience’s middle. The main platform delivers a unique 360-degree experience, and the whole structure will also use video and stage technology to create different effects in the arena.
Ebba Adielsson, Executive Producer, said:
‘It is with great pride that we present our vision of the stage and lighting design for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. We have not seen anything like this before at Eurovision and the concept gives us endless opportunities to create unique spaces and expressions for both the competing artists and the opening and interval acts. Florian and Fredrik’s creation is simply fantastic and it will be so much fun to see the end result!’
Florian Wieder added:
‘I am so happy to be part of the Eurovision family again! Putting together an exceptional show is a team effort and I’m proud to be part of a dream team of professionals – just the right constellation of people to come up with something different and new. We all have the same vision of what this show should be and how to take Eurovision to the next level, and for me Sweden is always a guarantor of good music and entertainment.’
Fredrik went on to say:
‘We believe that together we have created what is an unexpected and updated concept for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 and are looking forward to showing it off for real! I am honoured to have been commissioned to design the light and video in collaboration with the team from our studio, and the production team that SVT has put into place for the project.
We’ve developed a strong concept together, and I’m really looking forward to the continued collaboration in production, the creative process with the delegations, and eventually getting my teeth into the show and doing the broadcasts!
The next year’s stage design will focus on the audience more than ever and it will bring a revolutionary concept. A lighting design has been created to embrace the artists and their performances uniquely.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will be held on May 7, 9 and 11 live from Malmö, se den, following the second victory of Loreen in the competition.
