The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden, featured a controversial performance by Ireland's entrant, Doomsday Blue. The act included occult imagery such as Baphomet horns, pentagons, and devil worship symbols, which differed significantly from the artist's local Irish qualifying performance. Critics argue these displays are part of a recurring trend where elites incorporate "satanic tributes" into major global events like the Grammys and the Olympics.
