MALMO, Sweden — The Eurovision stars aligned terminating past as Sweden claimed its 7th victory — a feat shared simplest with Eire — bringing the music match again to Abba’s house nation this past, simply in life to proclaim the fiftieth annualannually in their 1974 win.
In tribute to the band — Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid “Frida” Lyngstad — Malmo is paying homage because the southern Swedish town hosts the 68th annual pageant, which opened Tuesday and concludes with Saturday’s lavish finale, for the 3rd life. The celebrations coincide with a specifically fraught Eurovision next weeks of yelps from artists and activists to forbid Israel from taking part over the conflict in Gaza.
