Slimane's performance at Eurovision 2024: what can we expect?

Since 1977 and Marie Myriam 's victory with her song"L'oiseau et l'enfant", France has been looking forward to winning the Eurovision Song Contest again. The last artist to come close to victory was Barbara Pravi. In 2021, the singer came second with her sublime song " Voilà ", just behind the Italian rock band Måneskin.

So can France start believing this year? Will the country take the top step of the podium and claim a 6th victory? All eyes are on Slimane, representing France this year with his song "Mon amour". Mon amour ".

The artist, who was the first candidate to unveil his song for this 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, will perform live twice this spring. The first is on May 9, for the second semi-final. Although France is one of the automatic qualifiers, the country's representative will still be invited to sing live during the semi-finals. A first, in fact. Until now, the so-called 'Big-5' countries only revealed their performances at the grand final. Slimane will perform his song " Mon amour " on May 9, just after the Czech candidate and before the Austrian. Both semi-finals will be broadcast on Culturebox.

Then, Slimane will give a second performance on May 11, 2024 for the Eurovision Grand Final, to be followed live on France 2 from Malmö in Sweden.
