Today SVT revealed who will be hosting Eurovision in Malmö. And we are ready for an extraordinary Eurovision experience, as the 68th Eurovision Song Contest is set to be steered by none other than the iconic duo of Hollywood star Malin Åkerman and the fabulous Eurovision-veteran Petra Mede!
Brace yourselves for the thrill as they take the stage to lead the live broadcasts from the vibrant city of Malmö on 7, 9, and 11 May.
Petra Mede, Sweden’s cherished television host and comedian extraordinaire, is no stranger to the spotlight. With a remarkable hosting record that includes Melodifestivalen, the QX-gala, Guldbaggegalan, and her own Petra Mede Show on TV3, she’s all set to bring her unparalleled charm to the Eurovision stage once again.
Petra previously stole hearts as the host of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, earning international acclaim for her stellar performance. In 2016, she made a triumphant return alongside Måns Zelmerlöw, treating us to the uproarious and unforgettable interval act, Love, Love, Peace, Peace.
Imagine getting the chance to host Eurovision once again! It’s such an incredible honor. After first hosting it alone and then together with the delightful Måns Zelmerlöw by my side, I am now really looking forward to working with Malin. We don’t know each other from before, but we have met a couple of times now, and I’m already completely sold. It’s going to be a joy to work with her!

Malin Åkerman, the Swedish actress who has risen to fame in Hollywood, is used to performing on both stage and screen. Though Eurovision will be a whole new scene for her:
I can’t really describe my feelings about this. I am very excited and a little nervous, but in a positive way. I have always liked Eurovision and to be a part of this fantastic show together with Petra is a dream come true. Additionally, Petra is one of the funniest women I’ve ever met.
