Whilst Swedish broadcaster SVT finalizes the list of artists participating in their Eurovision 2025 selection, Melodifestivalen, the rumors regarding who will be participating in the 65th edition of the competition continue to be reported. This time, Klara Hammarström is the next artist being reported as one of the participants.
Returning after a two year break?
As reported by Expressen, Klara has apparently submitted a ‘powerful’ song, with one of the outlet’s sources saying that it “feels natural for the competition”. Klara is no stranger to Melodifestivalen, having competed between 2020-2022 and making the final two times in 2021 and 2022.
Who is currently rumored to participate in Melodifestivalen 2025?
As reported by Swedish media for the past few weeks, the artists that could potentially be competing at next year’s competition are as follows:
- Måns Zelmerlöw

Sweden’s Eurovision Journey
In 1958, Sweden made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest, with Alice Babs representing them with the song “Lilla stjärna” which placed fourth. Since their debut, the Scandinavian nation has managed to win seven times (1974, 1984, 1991, 1999, 2012, 2015 and 2023).
In 2024, Marcus and Martinus represented Sweden on home soil. As the host entry, their song “Unforgettable” did not need to compete in the semi-finals. At the close of voting in the grand final, they had received 174 points. 125 points were received by the juries, while the twins received 49 points by televoters.
