[title]Listen, let’s not beat about the bush; Eurovision 2024 is tainted with more than a little stench of controversy, with widespread calls for a boycott of the 70th edition owing to Israel’s participation in the contest, which takes place in Sweden and features Olly Alexander representing the UK.
A great many of the capital’s most pro-Europop venues will be honouring the boycott, including the Clapham Grand, branches of Everyman Cinema, and Dalston’s Rio Cinema, which made headlines with the cancellation of London’s largest screening last month.
Those wishing to watch the competition can always do so at home instead. But if you’d still rather head out, there are a few screenings going ahead, as well as plenty of venues hosting Eurovision-themed parties – where you can dress up and have a boogie to some camp bangers of yesteryear – without actually screening the final.
