The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and SVT announced that the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Malmö, Sweden, with the final broadcast on May 11. The semi-finals are scheduled for May 7 and May 9 beforehand.
Germany had a less than stellar showing at the 2023 Eurovision, with Lord of the Lost finishing last in Liverpool. Loreen, however, managed to clinch the victory with her song "Tattoo," making a triumphant return to Sweden, where she previously prevailed in the 2012 contest with "Euphoria."
As of my last update in October 2023, specifics about "Ich will zum ESC!" featuring Rea Garvey and Conchita Wurst's release schedule and format remain unavailable. However, a talent show like "I want to go to the ESC!" typically assists in selecting a country's Eurovision entry, assembling a jury, encouraging public voting, and culminating in a final with the victor representing the nation at the global competition.
Given its mention in the 2025 context, it is plausible that "Ich will zum ESC!" is part of the selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. Although the relation to the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is not explicitly stated, it is clear that the show's goal is to identify and prepare the German entry for the upcoming contest.
