Before Denmark reveals the acts that are participating in the Danish Eurovision 2025 selection ‘Dansk Melodi Grand Prix’, DR has revealed the interval acts performing on the show on March 1.
Familiar faces as interval acts
DR has announced that DMGP legend Birthe Kjær and reigning champion SABA will be performing at this year’s event on March 1.
Speaking about performing, Birthe mentions about being honoured to perform:
I am very honored to be allowed to participate again this year. Dansk Melodi Grand Prix has meant a lot to me throughout the 80s, and my winning song, ‘Vi maler byen rød’ from 1989, is still one that young people stand and shout when we play at festivals, so it really meant a lot to me to be in the competition in the 80s.
Meanwile reigning champion SABA comments about ending her Eurovision journey as she passes on the trophy to the next Danish Eurovision representative:
I thought it would be a good wrinkle on the whole thing to be allowed to perform at the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix this year. Being allowed to pass on the prize and the trophy and performing is a good way to end the journey that the last year has been. It’s something I do for myself. I’m very happy to be allowed to be part of the evening. It also feels very liberating in some way,

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.
