Rea Garvey and Conchita Wurst are looking for talent
The next Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Malmö in May. To ensure that things go better for Germany this time, professionals Rea Garvey and Conchita Wurst are looking for new talent for the competition. In January, they will go into series production with "I want to go to the ESC!".
A new format is to help in the search for German singing talent for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Malmö. In the six-part docutainment series "Ich will zum ESC!", Conchita Wurst and Rea Garvey take on this challenge. The first episodes can be seen in the ARD media library from January 25.
According to the press release, Wurst and Garvey will act as coaches in "Ich will zum ESC!" and put together their teams from a total of 15 talents. Only the best singers will progress to the next rounds. Episode five will show who the coaches' favorites are. In the sixth and final episode, the audience will then decide who will compete live in Berlin on February 16 in the preliminary round of the "Eurovision Song Contest - The German Final 2024". The final episode of "I want to go to the ESC!" can also be seen live on Ersten on February 8 at 10 pm.
ESC final on May 11
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the public broadcaster SVT announced in July that the upcoming music competition will take place in Malmö. The final of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place on Saturday, May 11, 2024. In the same week, on May 7 and May 9, the two semi-finals will be held beforehand.
As is well known, things went less well for Germany in 2023. The band Lord of the Lost unfortunately only came last in Liverpool, behind Great Britain and Serbia. In contrast, singer Loreen was able to win again with her song "Tattoo" and bring next year's edition back to Sweden. She had already been successful at the ESC in Baku in 2012 with the song "Euphoria".
