It’s been five months since the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 In Malmö has come to an end. In this new series we’re having a look at the participants, and what they have been up to. We’re going to continue with the artists who performed in the Second Semi Final. Class of 2024: where are they now?
Marina Satti
She represented Greece with “Zari” and ended up in 11th place in the final. Right after Eurovision, Satti released her album called “P.O.P.”, scoring a hit with “LALALALA”. Marina hasn’t been doing nothing, as she’s been on touring Europe all summer long. That’s not all, ‘cause in November she’s is performing in New York! As busy as it all gets, Marina even continued to model for various magazines.
Nemo
It’s almost been half a year since they won the whole contest! We’re of course talking about the monarch Nemo. They’ve announced a big tour over the continent which starts mid-March next year. Nemo has been hailed as a big star in Switzerland, and has done many gigs there. They also performed a lot of times in London, and after getting a taste of the city, Nemo decided to move to the heart of the U.K. They are releasing their new single “Eurostar” on October 4th.
Aiko
After not qualifying to the final, Aiko didn’t leave Malmö with nothing as she fell in love with Kat (Megara’s drummer). To this day the couple are still together, and are making music and performing gigs! She had creative summer, as she released her album “AIKONIC” including one of her singles “Hunger” which she made together with Teya (Austria 2023). Next month Aiko will start her Aikonic Tour, with shows all over Europe!

Right after Malmö, Joost hopped on a plane to Canada to perform at BBNO$’s festival. In June Joost dropped his following single ““Luchtballon”” which was a direct hit. He followed it up by releasing his other song meant for Eurovision. That’s not all as Joost and Käärijä (Finland 2023) have spent time in the studio together, and released “Trafik!”. Next year, Joost begins his Europapa tour, and will also play across multiple states in the U.S.A.
