What we know about Melodifestivalen 2025
As we earlier reported 30 songs will participate in Melodifestivalen 2025. Two songs will directly qualify for the final from each semi-final, (which will consist of ten entries for the final).
The entry that placed third in each semi-final will still have a chance to make it to the final (which will be made up of five entries). Out of the five participants who placed third in each semi-final, the act with the highest score across all of the Semi-Finals will automatically be given a place in the final, with the remaining four acts fighting it out for the remaining spot. The act with the highest points from the vote will then be awarded the last spot in the final
As usual, Sweden’s Eurovision 2025 representative will be selected via a mixture of televoting and an international jury.
The dates and venues for the remaining shows of this year’s competition are as follows:
- Semi-Final 2 – February 8 – Gothenburg – Scandinavium
- Semi-Final 3 – February 15 – Västerås – ABB Arena Syd
- Semi-Final 4 – February 22 – Malmö – Malmö Arena
- Semi-Final 5 – March 1 – Jönköping – Husqvarna Garden
- Final – March 9 – Stockholm – Strawberry Arena
Tickets for this year’s edition are able to be purchased right here.
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.
