Erik Struve Hansen, DR’s Grand Prix manager, has revealed that a former Danish Eurovision entrant is among the participants for Denmark’s Eurovision 2025 selection Dansk Melodi Grand Prix.
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2025 Participants
This update was announced during the annual club meeting of the Danish branch of OGAE Melodigrandprixfans.dk. It was revealed that there will be eight artists and songs in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2025 (with four of them being selected already). Among them is at least one former Eurovision entrant.
However, the full field will not be revealed until three weeks before the show takes place, so we’ll have to wait a while to find out who is taking part. The show will take place on the 1st of March at Herning in the Jyske Bank Boxen arena.
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 eight 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”.
Most recently, Saba represented Denmark after winning their national selection with her song “Sand”. She placed twelfth in the second semifinal, scoring 36 points.
