Ireland's Bambie Thug has qualified for the final of Eurovision 2024 with their song 'Doomsday Blue', following last night's first Eurovision semi-finals in Malmo in Sweden.

The artist become the first Irish contestant to make the Eurovision Song Contest final since 2018.

Others to qualify for Saturday night's final were Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Finland, Cyprus, and Luxembourg. The second semi-final takes place on Thursday night.

Bambie went on stage fourth - and wowed audiences across Europe with a spectacular lights show and dramatic costume change on set.

'Crown The Witch' was the cry from the crowd, as the lights faded on tonight's Irish performance.

'Deise Today' linked live to Malmo this morning (Wednesday) to hear how the news went down with the many Irish fans who have travelled to Sweden for the big event!
