Format of Melodifestivalen 2025
30 acts participate in Melfest 2025 split into 5 heats of six acts each. The number 1 and 2 placed acts from each heat qualify directly to the grand final in Stockholm, and the three lowest placed acts are finished in the competition. This make up for the first 10 acts qualifying for the grand final
The number 3 placed entries of each heat will have their fate decided in a Final Qualification held in connection with heat 5. The five songs will compete for 2 tickets to the grand final decided by the percentage of votes each entry got in their heat plus the amount of votes they get in the Final Qualification.
12 songs compete in the Grand Final of Melodifestivalen held in Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on 8 March.
Melodifestivalen is hosted by Kristina ”Keyyo” Petrushina and Edvin Törnblom.
Who is your favourite in this heat? Are any of these acts the one you want to see go all the way to Eurovision? Let us know in the comments below.
Suddenly, PZE seems like one of the best NFs once again. What is this Sweden?
So much better than first semifinal.
On and On and On / Funniest Thing are my favorites.
So much better than semifinal.
On and On and On / Funniest Thing are my favorites.
Song 1: promising
Song 2: not for me
Song 3: my fav of this heat
Song 4: promising
Song 5: not for me
Song 6: cool song, a mix of Medina and Panetoz style, but nothing really original.
So for me song 3 in Final, and after it’s open for song 1, 4 and 6.
Surely this is Klara’s time? She deserves it on sheer steadfastness alone!
I do feel there is something more there than the snippet lets on..
Looks like that Heat 3 might be better because these songs are also a bit average.
What has happened to Melodifestivalen in the last few years, sadly it has gone downhill so much since Christer Bjorkman left. All the fun has gone out of it!!!
Klara and Nomi to Direckt Final.
Nomi Tales sounds promising!
I hope she can deliver it live, if so I could see this going places.
Rooting for the cowboy!
I enjoyed Waterloo 2.0!
Snippets don’t do songs justice but it does sound stronger than rhe first one.
Of the bat I say Klara and Eric to final.
These songs are also a bit mediocre; sorry Sweden :/ Anyway, still prefer another singer’s Victory; rather than Mans Zelmerlöw
