- Caribbean may join Eurovision
- Organizers tease 2024 performance
- Potential representation for Europe
This year, could a Caribbean performer compete at Eurovision alongside Olly Alexander of the United Kingdom and other entrants?
Organisers of Eurovision have alluded to a possible Caribbean appearance at the competition this year.
They proclaimed, “New Year! New News!” in an official Instagram post that was disseminated to over 1.3 million followers. The post was accompanied by a visual representation of pristine beaches and aquamarine waters.
The post stated, “We are ecstatic to confirm that THE CARIBBEAN will perform at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024.” We eagerly anticipate providing further details.
The 2024 event will be held in Malmo, Sweden, and Olly Alexander was recently confirmed as the British performer.
He might encounter competition from a newcomer from the Caribbean. Although no additional information has been provided, Eurovision enthusiasts immediately recognized the evident upon viewing the teaser.
One responded, “It is Eurovision, not Worldvision.”
Virtual coconut water stirs Eurovision speculation
Another wrote, “I must have been too preoccupied with sipping virtual coconut water to notice the precise moment the Caribbean decided to visit Europe.”
One more responded, “The Caribbean is home to a multitude of nations.”
Thus, it does not qualify as a nation. Furthermore, it is in no way in Europe. However, that has never deterred Eurovision organisers in the past.

Australia, which has been the broadcaster of the Eurovision competition since 1983 and is not in Europe, was extended an invitation to partake in the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the show in 2015.
It was originally intended to be a one-time event, but Australians continued to participate in subsequent years; in 2016, Dami Im placed second with her composition Sound Of Silence.
Morocco participated as well in 1980.
However, as one follower noted, the Caribbean contains a significant number of European territories; therefore, it is possible that they are suggesting that a Caribbean artist is representing a European nation.
