On the 2nd of March 2024, Iceland held its national final for Eurovision 2024: “Söngvakeppnin 2024”.
5 artists performed the songs, and the winner of the super-final was Hera Björk with “Scared of Heights“
However, not everything went smoothly.
Some stakeholders in the Icelandic music industry called to boycott Eurovision 2024 participation, following their will to make Israel not participating in the contest.
Hera Björk has openly shared a clear message: In case of winning “Söngvakeppnin 2024”, she will represent the country in Malmö.
Along the way, the EBU has justified and defended Israel’s participation at Eurovision 2024. Icelandic broadcaster RÚV has decided to postpone the decision regarding Eurovision 2024 participation.
RÚV, Hera Björk and the team behind the song discussed the topic together. They finalized their decision: Iceland will participate at Eurovision 2024, with Hera Björk as their representative:
Therefore, Hera Bjork will represent Iceland at Eurovision 2024 with the song “Scared of Heights “
Hera is one of the well known singers in Iceland.
She previously represented Iceland at Eurovision 2010 with the song “Je Ne Sais Quoi”
