Ireland’s Bambie Thug missed the final dress rehearsal for Eurovision 2024 on Saturday afternoon.
Posting on their Instagram story, the star noted there was a situation before the flag parade that required urgent attention from the EBU.
“Dear Coven,
“There was a situation while we were waiting to go to stage for the flag parade rehearsal which I felt needed urgent attention from the EBU — the EBU have taken this matter seriously and we have been in discussion about what action needs to be taken. This means I have missed my dress rehearsal — I am really sorry to the fans that have come to see me. I hope to see you on the stage tonight.
“#CrownTheWitch”
Fans first noticed Bambie Thug’s disappearance when they were not present at the flag parade that runs at the start of the Eurovision grand final.
Greece’s Marina Satti and Switzerland’s Nemo also did not walk during the flag parade. However, both Marina and Nemo later took to the stage for their performances on the Malmö arena stage.
Should’ve missed the whole final too!
Irland the worst song is or screening, ever
All your boycotting and agression will change nothing about the ongoing killing. This not the right forum for effective protest. If it makes you feel better to hate speech in an online forum on Eurovision, please go on. But be sure, it will change nothing.
More diarrhea I suppose?
Fvck off you pathetic supporter of child murd3r.
EBU confirmed to multiple delegates that Israel broke rules earlier this week and have done nothing. EBU are scum, as are the g3nocidal cvnts
What have they done? If you are claiming such things, please be a bit more specific…
Anyway, happy Eurovision!
Delegates harassing Bambie and others and the Israel broadcasters abusing her
This mess is all EBU fault. Did you see the betting odds? Why suddenly Israel is second?
It is just strange that Italy TV revealed ‘accidentally’ Israel has so many votes! Just really bizzarre!
Artists know something that we don’t know, that’s why they are rebelling!
We need Bambie Thug IN! No more withdrawals! ESC needs to happen! Stay strong, Europe!
GROUP HUG
Let’s CELEBRATE those ARTISTS/countries/broadcasters that have the COURAGE to speak up following Israel’s participation, the tweaking of countries’ winner chances, Joost’s dq AND MR ÖSTERDAHL lack of leadership. As I’ve said already – What Mr Österdahl doesn’t seem to understand is that politics has always been part of Eurovision. It was his job to make sure the it didn’t catch on and burn down the entire contest!
I have become obsessed with Bambie. I am Team Ireland tonight.
Idea for 2025. Derry. Or Belfast. Hosted by Nicola Coughlan. Co-production between RTE and BBC, which will help with RTE’s funding issues, but more importantly show how PEACE and CO-OPERATION are a realistic goal. Illustrate to a continent that needs a reminder.
I’ll throw in Jamie Dornan as co-host.
I know one who likes to be tied up
You’d have to rescue him from my basement first… (Rumpelstiltskin’in my floor right now) 🙂
Surely you can release him for a few weeks next May. We promise to return him unharmed.
Let’s #crownthewitch first… DO YOU HEAR THAT DOWN THERE DORAN!!! (thump thump). He does.
That’s what I was thinking… And I’m pretty sure that’s what would happen if there’s sufficient ‘people hosting’ capacity (Northern Ireland). RTE would use BBC OB anyway as they don’t have the equipment for such a huge show on their own.
As much as I love your enthusiasm, and as much as I would LOVE if Ireland won. I don’t it will happen.
If it did though, I think RTÉ would have no issue hosting in Dublin. Barry Keoghan as one of the presenters, seeing as getting a Hollywood star to do-present seems to be the thing nowadays.
Irish government would provide the necessary funding to host at the 3 Arena. They’re crying out to host an event of this scale.
But anyway I don’t think we have to worry about that. Though I will happily eat my words otherwise.
Bambie missed rehearsal because they are frantically brewing up another cauldron of Win Potion. This wil be disseminated throughout Europe. Do not lose hope!
oh sweet summer child, Eden will get all the 12 votes
Israel will win! Team Eden!
Hopefully you’ll invite Joost as an interval act?
Or Cork, hosted by the cast of The Young Offenders
This just in: bambie has withdrawn from competition!
This just in:
Anon is obsessed with Bambi’s, think they might have a crush on them.
Awww bless <3
Them? She is a single individual
Ohhhhh Anon and Bambie sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G #BetterThanTwilight xoxo declare your love for them anon it’s okay xo
I’m sure it excites you to create a sense of chaos. your body trembles, you love evil, you are evil. the silence eats away at you. your reflection scares you, it reveals all your faults
Avrotros, dutch people, leave EBU and build your own, a real European Broadcaster Union. This one has nothing of european, a little bit of broadcasting and nothing, NOTHING of union.
You can be the savers of this.
We need to start again.
Honestly, all the drama makes me want to watch this more.
Israel being there this year was a horrible decision from both sides. Why even take the chance. It would be like letting Russia compete again in the present circumstances = bad idea!!!
“You again? Next time, I will hit you!”
(said by Joost to a cameraman that was following him, after he asked twice for her to leave)
That would be the motivation for DQ The Netherlands.
As a south american I can’t even understand this. Europe is more updated in violence prevention, I guess. But then the violent country can act.
I don’t understand.
Eurovision winner Charlie McGettigan seems to boycotting. Paul Harrington will announce the Irish points on his own.
Only Paul had agreed to announce the Irish jury points. I don’t think Charlie Ever put his hat in the ring
Yeah, unlike Alessandra, he had already made up his mind. He boycotted 2019 too.
Who and who? Some more nobodies from ireland that noone cares about just like that witch?
Eurovision royalty
They were the 1994 Eurovision winners for Ireland.
Hope he retrospectively gives himself zero points for 1994
AVROTROS statement: An incident occurred after last Thursday’s performance. Against clearly made agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the greenroom. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed. This wasn’t respected. This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camera woman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police. Yesterday and today we consulted extensively with the EBU and proposed several solutions. Nevertheless, the EBU has still decided to disqualify Joost… Read more »
UPDATE: Dutch broadcaster AVOTROS has informed EBU that they are considering taking legal action against them as they find the disqualification “disappropriate”.
EBU calls for an urgent Heads of Delegation meeting with some national broadcasters who are threatening to withdraw from tonight’s contest.
And rightly so!
oh wow, where did you find this?? this is actually getting to be insane ?
I’m super excited for tonight…everything is going to go well according to the aerial predictions. I see the future and it is happy. CROWN THE WITCH
BREAKING! Dutch broadcaster stated that NO physical altercation occurred. The incident was verbal and after a while the employee pressed charges.
According to the Dutch broadcaster the punishment is disproportionate and unacceptable. The Netherlands threatens to leave EBU.
EBU is destroying Eurovision!
When Israel tells something, you claim they’re not objective, but when the Dutch broadcaster do, it’s fine?
We should only wait for the EBU’s statements
i don’t care about what those EBU losers have to say
choke on your eurovision win with that ariana grande talentless loser wannabe eden sholan
I never mentioned the word objective and Israel in any of my posts
Stop lying and spreading fake news.
Better use your time to stop k1lling Arabs who are Semites.
Again, fake news. Can y’all stop spreading desinfo for fun? You’re not helping Joost or the Netherlands.
Losing AVROTROS and therefore the Netherlands would be a massive loss to Eurovision.
They’ve given us some great performances over recent years. And Netherlands has a long standing history with Eurovision.
I hope we don’t lose them
so what? then things need to change within EBU, or else we leave for good
but go vote vote vote for stinking loser Eden Golan, vote vote vote
eden golan the attention seeker who will do anything for more votes YUK
I’m not watching and if I was I certainly wouldn’t be voting for her.
EBU should have made the right decision months ago and they didn’t. They were weak and spineless and now they have a mess of their own making.
I’m surprised to see you react this way as I’m pretty sure me and you had a debate about their participation here a few weeks ago in which you were very supportive of their participation. Why the sudden change?
I love this girl. She is not afraid to stand up to what she believes in. These are the people we should be admiring. Not nasty America and Israel. Free Palestine
The USA ia the protector of the free world, while Palestine have brought nothing to the world but terror. You are admiiring a satanic witch.
Non-binary adult, not girl
Looks like a chick, so she is a chick
She wants to punish someone who did not harm her. How sad. Karma is waiting for you, dear Bambie.
Why are them so cryptic? Why “There was a situation” instead of “this and that happened”… This IS childish behaviour.
AVROTROS said there was no physical violence involved in the Joost incident.
so what happened then???

What did he say?
Something like this I assume… It’s not a huge ask to give people some space to get their $hit together.

Ebu is simply disgusting
I don’t drink… Why do I have a hangover?
oh naughty Fergal… I think I know why.
The live final is heading towards being car crash TV.
Those match bingo cards better be updated to include people chanting “Euro Papa” randomly and for performers to call for peace during or at the end of their songs.
EBU were too slow to act and now they are paying the price. #Awkward
Somebody from Israel’s delegation probably farted next to her and now she demands Eden’s disqualification!
i hope Eden won’t win otherwise i worry for all of us
I thought you quit! You should only worry for yourself!
I feel pity for all other contestants who were looking so much forward to this contest.
All their joy taken away by selfish Eden and Israel!
Taken away by Joost.
And by the participants who didn’t want a political Eurovision, but ate the only ones who are making it political.
Taken away by the NON-European selfish country. Nobody else.
Taken away by fear of jihad terror
Oh, I´m sure some lovely people from a certain country said some nice things to her and were very kind and understanding.
#10 Ireland
#14 Norway
#15 Italy
#18 Portugal
Israel (not Jews), you are not the good guys here. Have not been for a while. Stop pretending. Stop playing the victims. Your state and the politics of oppression towards Arab Palestinians for many decades were the cause of October 7th. Enough playing dumb and spreading your rhetoric everywhere.
Your right wing government is used to leverage propagandistic tools to fool its population. And the want Eurovision to amplify that.
Europeans and Eurofans must act to stop this. Eurovision was created to fight what manipulation brings to nations. Division and death.
This! Every word of this!
Well done Nni <3
Bravo, well said! Eurovision was created with the sole purpose so things like today´s madness would NOT happen :-/
Amazing statement !
Hear, hear!
While i understand looking into overall broad picture of why October 7 happened And legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies and actions, I can’t help but emotionally feel as a Jewish American that’s like it’s the equivalent of saying 9/11 was America’s fault for meddling in the Middle East and this was payback for it. That might be true on historical hindsight level, but you wouldn’t say something like that at the time the event is happening because it makes it look like victim blaming and unCaring towards the people that were murdered and give the attacks a twisted justification. Don’t… Read more »
If Netherlands ist being disqualified for ongoing Police investigation, why isn‘t Israel for being on trial for g3n0c1de?
because your last sentence is pure fake news.
Define then what are you doing if she is wrong.
Because no one threatened Joost’s life.
And the ICJ ruled that lsrael can continue the war, and still no proof of gen.cide.
The “settle for Croatia” campaign is weird. Telling people to vote for Croatia because it’s not Israel, whilst nobody in the Croatian delegation has opposed Israel’s participation.
Probably for the same reason why Germany and Austria also haven‘t – history
Didn’t stop the Italian delegate yesterday, so it’s not an excuse
He is the number 1 in odds, he doesn´t want to screw that. He is quite left and liberal from what I understand. This is the first and probably the last time Croatia can actually win, so the delegation advised him not to make statements of any kind. If he wins, he will probably say something like “peace, freedom etc”
How are we meant to know if he’s Anti-Israel with regards to the war but support him as the “anyone but Israel” candidate?
I hope they are okay. I won’t accept a final without Bambie.
We all will. We are all hoping Ireland won’t participate. No one cares about her anyway
We? All? We?
You have eyes right and can read that there are many who don’t agree with you? So you saying all is a lie.
Just you and some other sympathizers who like to k1ll Arabs and steal land in the West Bank.
True anti-Semites is you and co.
We = He/she/they and his/her/their imaginary friends.
watch the imaginary crowd win the competition for Eden
So many “situations” in a couple of days… How am I going to endure my Life after tomorrow without my daily ration of situations?
Imo it is very optimistic to think that this ends today.
Ooo thanks for telling, you brought back light to my life… I need situations every day. I have become a situation-addict.
All the front runners have made a stand and I applaud them for that. All except the favourite, who had been totally silent on the matter.
This is his biggest chance to bring the trophy home for the very first time. He has to make history.
Except Eden will get double the public votes than him
And eden will get more from jury
Could Osterdahl’s tenure be up by now? There’s no way one can say that the adminstration of this years contest has been a success. So far he’s overseen a contest that has had a broken stage, a year with 6 countries cheating when it came to the juries, a year where the EBU published a song (Belarus 2021) which has had clear anti-democratic and peace message, a year where the EBU has failed to remove Russia ( a country attacking another’s freedom of liberty – just like now) only for several countries to hold the EBU accountable with boycotting. Now… Read more »
I wonder if somebody’s gonna get fired after tonight. I don’t know what the post Eurovision ramifications will be, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Martin is placed in the firing line after tonight. I’m not saying I want this to happen, but I could possibly see it happening.
I think he will be asked to step down after this concert.
We’ll have to see after tonight and watch the news closely, but like I said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Martin is on thin ice afterwards. Again, I should emphasize that I’m not calling for him to be fired, but that I could see possible grounds That could number his days at the EBU. Of course, he shouldn’t be held accountable for things that were out of his control, and for what he tried to do to mitigate those problems, but for the things that he could’ve prevented under his watch, yeah. There’s a lot of things that were bad… Read more »
I agree, there must be someone on the firing line, whether they play a small or large role. At the end of the day, the only Osterdahl has to answer.
Just saying something: if you want to boycott that song, remember to change the tv to another channel, not just muting tv. EBU cares about audience, not about the volume of your tv.
And vote for the other songs performing tonight. Use up all 20 if you have to.
I’m only worried with that approach because if you change channel too long, you might miss the subsequent songs like Lithuania. I don’t want Lithuania‘s result affected because people switched channel to avoid watching Israel. I would say if you’re choosing to boycott Israel like that, cast your votes for the songs you wanna see early before hand just in case.

People singing Europapa during Eden’s rehearsal.
The EBU messed this up big time!
Congrats destroying Eurovision.
People inside the arena are feeling unsafe and a very bad atmosphere. Thanks Israel!
A non-European country ruining a European contest!
The only one who feels unsafe inside the arena is Eden and her dancers. I really admire her bravery to face all that far left brainwashed people booing and insulting her.
You admire white washing g3nocide?
Got it!
A wiwibloggs top crimes video would be very long this year…
Oh boy, we are going to be in for a ride.
EBU cancel tonight.
Are you afraid your beloved Arab k1llers will be found out :))
Funny how the anti-Semite is you yourself
I’m not anti semite. I’m sick of all the stand on a soap box antics and the safety of everyone in the arena
By the way go further down this page ive been attacked for being Israeli lover!
It’s not just the arabs that want you gone darling, its most of Europe too.
We will see most of the Europe opinion this evening. Here is just a small social buble. You can’t vote against
By the way go further down this page Ive been attacked for being an Israeli lover!
You and Nni should get together and let the Eurovision music lovers enjoy there night
Everywhere I look in social media there are ads about Israel’s participation, vote no6 etc. What Israel hasn’t understood yet is that even if they do win tonight by whatever means they have lost in many ways already
I’ve had friends in Croatia, Italy and America show me the same for them. All their youtube videos show them it. Even if they aren’t Eurovision fans.
Yes I’ve heard it from non-Eurofan friends as well. It’s a crazy campaign, perhaps the biggest I’ve ever seen. And of course purely for political reasons.
Millions are being poured by the Israeli state (not the broadcaster) to push a win
I have a phone and a computer, that’s 40 votes for Eden. Vote #6 Israel! It will win!
They’ll be Russian Bot accounts and a few hard right wing thugs (which wont watch let alone vote) retweeting those messages
BT said they would boycot Eurovision if she was not participating theirselves.
That’s not ‘boycotting’,
that’s just ‘not watching’.
They
She
oh yeah, pronoun battle, my turn
you
You’re a cvnt
Caesar turns in his grave
let me guess, they are planning a flag incident and risk it all, sure you do you.
Much love and respect to Bambie, you’ve done us proud. Mute and toilet break during song 5.
Not mute – you need to turn off you telly during song 5 if you want it register with the EBU!
Great advice, thanks!
I have three friends that are outside of the Arena In Malmo planning to watch the final and they are saying they have an unsafe vibe, like a really negative feeling. They are from Copenhagen and it is not a big deal even if they choose not to see the final live and get back, but what has Eurovision has become… Maybe they are overreacting, but for sure I do not remember any Eurovision similar to this…
Atleast they should be able to get back across the Oresund if it all kicks off. Many delegates and favs are actually staying in the vicinity
Bambie had been very vocal about her opinion. Thanks mama for spilling.
Some of the comments here are disgusting.
Just because they don’t share the same opinion as you by not supporting g3n0c1de doesn’t give anyone the right to use such disgusting language especially misgendering them.
The toxicity is astounding
United by a dumpster fire
Why doesn’t she just quit if she feels so strongly? Usual fake virtue signaling who lives in a constant echo chamber.
Because she’s a wannabe fake who is just doing it for the attention. ESC 2024 would be so so much better without Ireland’s performance anyway
Love, love, love Bambie, it takes a very brave person to make a stand like this. Huge respect.
