What we know about Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2024
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2024 will take place on February 17th. Eight acts will compete for the votes of the Danish public as well as the national juries. The vote split, like last year, will be 50/50. This years Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will take place at the DR Koncerthuset. The show as previously reported will be hosted by Sara Bo and Stéphanie Surrugue. Preshow programming will be presented by former Danish Eurovision entrants Fyr Og Flamme.
What is Dansk Melodi Grand Prix?
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is the oldest national final in the Eurovision sphere. The national final has been going since Denmark’s debut in the contest back in 1957. There are often around 8 acts who take part in this often singular night event. The voting process has changed over the years but currently the winner is determined by 50% jury voting and 50% televoting. Denmark is one of a few countries to introduce a super-final round which narrows the artists down to three before deciding the final result.
Denmark’s Eurovision journey
Denmark first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest back in 1957 and notched up their first win in 1963 with Grethe and Jørgan Ingmann’s “Dansevise”. Denmark later earned two third-place finishes in 1988 and 1989 but was then relegated three times in 1994, 1996, and 1998. They finally achieved their second victory in 2000 with the Olsen Brothers’ “Fly on the Wings of Love”, and have missed the Grand Final seven times since the introduction of the semi-finals. A six-year qualification streak from 2008 culminated in its third win in 2013 with Emmelie de Forrest’s “Only Teardrops”.
Denmark’s most recent participation saw them being represented by Reiley with the song “Breaking My Heart”. After opening the second semi-final in Liverpool, Reiley finished in 14th place receiving just 6 points from the televote.
