Olly Alexander is set to represent the United Kingdom at Eurovision 2024
Multi-award winning artist Olly Alexander, of Years & Years, has been announced to represent the United Kingdom at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden in May 2024.
His stint on Eurovision will mark the first time Olly Alexander is releasing music under his own name, after over a decade using the moniker Years & Years.
“I’ve loved watching Eurovision ever since I was a little kid and I’m beyond excited to be taking part next year. As a young boy I always looked forward to this incredible event of unbridled joy, the wonderfully chaotic mix of musical styles, theatrical performances, heartfelt emotion and humour," says Alexander. "I really can’t believe I’m going to be a part of such a special legacy and fly the flag for the UK in the gayest way possible, it shall be an honour! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and it feels like the right moment to start releasing music under my own name. I’m determined to give it everything I’ve got and put on an excellent and unforgettable performance for you all!”
All three live Eurovision 2024 programmes will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 7, 9 and 11 May 2024. Olly Alexander's UK Eurovision song, co-written with Danny L Harle, will be revealed in due course.
