Sweden is getting ready to the first semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2016 as the first rehearsals are on today at the Scandinavium Arena in Göteborg. As the rehearsals take place, SVT will upload short clips of the rehearsals and give us the opportunity to listen to the songs for the first time.

On Saturday at 14:00 CET, SVT will publish 2:30 minutes long studio versions of the songs, so the full versions will be presented for the first time during the live show.
