🇸🇪 Eurovision 2024: ABBA Will Not Appear at the Contest - Eurovoix
ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson have confirmed the legendary Swedish band will not appear at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.eurovoix.com
SVT will probably work out a deal so that the "ABBAtars" appear onstage
Realistic: I guess it could be kind of fun to see Danny enter again, with a more competitive song maybe than his last demo-sounding one. His career sure would need it.
Cazzi Opeia's last song was great, so she would be a nice pick to have defend the trophy.
Not likely: The Ark have reunited and they have yet to release new material since their reunion, so where would be a better place to launch their new lead single than Mello?
If they just put proper effort into their song this time instead of submitting something out of their reject drawer, and deliver something that's at least comparable to their classic anthems, I think they could still pretty easily score highly if not win. If they make it to ESC they could then easily be the returnee-redemption of the year.
Pie in the sky: Darin could win Mello with his eyes closed, and it would be fitting for him as he seems to be focusing on releasing English language songs atm, but the likelihood of that is less than 0.5% percent. He also did Så mycket bättre again last year, so that makes it even less likely.
In general I have stopped hoping for surprising/big names to compete, as that probably isn't happening anytime soon. Though of course, it would be very fun for us to be represented by a proper established act on home soil. But mainly I just want there to be more "competitive" songs in varied genres (Smash Into Pieces, Medina, Clara Klingenström, etc).
Lastly, if there's one thing I hope SVT has learned from UMK and Käärijä this year is to choose more Swedish songs and then put the proper money behind their stagings. If there would be any year for us to send a Swedish song, it would be when we are hosting. And of course, if we could just get one name that was as relevant as KUUMAA, that would be pretty fun too.

So Hooja are doing both Allsång på Skansen and Sommar i P1... Maybe that means they'd be somewhat possible as this year's epadunk act? Would without a doubt be at the top of SVT's wishlist.
Eternal MF faves of the 2010's have just released a new song co-written by Fredrik Kempe after a 3-year break... Expect them to show up in next year's line-up I guess...
