The Eurovision Song Contest 2014 will be the 59th annual Eurovision Song Contest.

This will be the third time that Denmark will host the contest, the last time being in 2001.

So far fifteen countries have confirmed participation. On 10 May 2013 during the organizers press conference in Malmö, the executive supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, commented that he hoped for the return of countries absent from the 2013 Contest and that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is in discussions with these broadcasters regarding their potential return.[1] The preliminary dates set for the two semi-finals are 13 May and 15 May 2014, with the final planned for the evening of 17 May 2014.[2][3]

A number of cities, including Copenhagen, Herning, Aalborg and Fredericia, will be considered as host cities.[4][5][6][7] The contest is hosted by the Danish national broadcaster DR, who have appointed Pernille Gaardbo as executive producer for the 2014 contest.[8]
