The rumour mill has concluded its reporting for the potential line-up for Melodifestivalen 2027, Sweden’s Eurovision 2027 selection. Press in the country have reported the last names that could potentially be in the mix to participate in next year’s selection.
A brand new girl group
The first reported name is a new girl group that has been handpicked specifically for Melodifestivalen 2027. The group is reported to consist of five young dancers and singers who have previously worked with other Mello artists that have been picked after a months long search. The team behind the project are intending to make a group that can do well with an international audience. An insider says that “[t]he goal was to create something that hasn’t been seen in ‘Mello’ before”. Additionally, the team brought in Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, who has great success with both Mello and international pop stars, to help create the track the group will sing. Another source says that “[t]his track is a really strong, modern, uptempo pop song that I truly believe will be a perfect fit for Melodifestivalen and its viewers.”
A Mello hopeful
The final name rumoured for Mello 2027 is Ella Rammelt. The 24 year old singer isn’t a stranger to the Mello family, as she competed in Lilla Melodifestivalen in 2014 at the age of 12. In an interview to local newspaper Kanalen, she shared that participating in the adult version of Mello has been a dream of hers since she was a child. In fact, it’s rumoured that she submitted songs for Mello the last two years. Hope third time’s the charm!

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 2026, Melodifestivalen was won by FELICIA, singing “My System”. FELICIA qualified for the Grand Final of Eurovision in Vienna, maintaining Sweden’s near perfect track record from the semi-finals. The country has only narrowly lost out on a place in the Grand Final once, in 2010. At the close of voting in the grand final, FELICIA received 51 points, finishing in 20th place. 35 points were given by the juries, while she received 16 points by televoters.
