The Eurovision Song Contest competitor from Ireland, Bambie Thug, is confirmed to have detailed a European journey. The songstress, native to Cork and 31 years old, positioned sixth in the yearly singing contest occurring earlier this calendar month with the brooding tune, Doomsday Blue.
Bambie’s Crown The Witch itinerary will initiate proceedings in Brighton on the 30th of August, extending into numerous performances in global metropolitan areas such as London, Glasgow, Amsterdam, Dublin, Galway and culminating in Belfast. The conclusion to the 28-day tour will come in the form of a celebratory concert at the Cork City Hall on the 7th of November.
The entertainer expressed her enthusiasm about sharing Ouija Pop across many countries through her première headline act in the Crown the Witch venture. She is hopeful for a magical experience filled with melodies which would further broaden her fan-base.
The Eurovision contest of this year, hosted at the Malmo Arena in Sweden, faced some contentious issues. The cup winner, Nemo hailing from Switzerland with their winning song, The Code, was not spared from these troubles.
Before the conclusive round, Bambie, who voiced strong pro-Palestine beliefs, alleged that the Israeli media firm, Kan, had violated certain rules. She voiced her concerns to the European Broadcasting Union and anticipated their clarification on the matter in time.
The Cork-based singer, who is considered the foremost Irish competitor since 2018 to make it to the grand final, had previously voiced her dissatisfaction with the participation of Israel’s representative, Eden Golan.
Bambie claimed that the Eurovision managers failed to provide adequate support regarding her dispute with Israel, following her performance on May 11th. A congregation of protestors advocating a boycott of the competition due to Israel’s participation amidst the incessant conflict in Gaza, coincided with the grand final.
Come June, Bambie is slated to grace the stage at the Download Festival and Mighty Hoopla.
