Eurovision organisers have teased an apparent Caribbean appearance at this year’s contest.<\/p>\n

“New Year! New News!” they announced, in a message shared with more than 1.3 million followers through the official Instagram page, alongside a clip showing crystal clear waters and golden beaches.<\/p>\n

“We’re thrilled to confirm that THE CARIBBEAN<\/strong> is coming to the Eurovision <\/strong>Song Contest 2024,” the post said. “Stay tuned, we can’t wait to tell you more.”<\/p>\n

The 2024 event takes place in Malmo in Sweden, with Olly Alexander recently announced as the UK’s act<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Could he be facing competition from a Caribbean entrant? No further details have been given, but Eurovision followers were quick to point out the obvious upon seeing the teaser.<\/p>\n

“It’s Eurovision not Worldvision,” replied one.<\/p>\n

“I must have been too busy sipping virtual coconut water to catch the exact moment when the Caribbean decided to swing by Europe,” wrote another.<\/p>\n

“There are so many countries in the Caribbean,” another responded.<\/p>\n

So it’s not a country. And it’s definitely not in Europe. But, that hasn’t stopped Eurovision organisers before.<\/p>\n

In 2015, having broadcast the competition since 1983, Australia (also definitely not in Europe) was invited to join the party to commemorate Eurovision’s 60th anniversary.<\/p>\n

It was supposed to be a one-off, but the Aussies went on to contribute in subsequent years – with contestant Dami Im finishing as runner-up in 2016 with her song, Sound Of Silence.<\/p>\n

Morocco also competed in 1980.<\/p>\n

But as one follower pointed out: “There’s a lot of European territories in the Caribbean so maybe they’re announcing that a Caribbean artist is representing a European country?”<\/p>\n

Sky News has contacted Eurovision organisers for more information. Watch this space.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
