Sweden’s Melodifestivalen will continue tonight with its third semifinal. Seven songs will participate but only four will continue their quest to the Eurovision Song Contest 2017.

The show

Tonight’s show will be held in the VIDA Arena in Växjö, hosted by Hasse Andersson, David Lindgren and Clara Henry. Seven songs will participate, and the results will be decided by 100% televoting: first, the top five will advance to a second round of voting, and then the first two places will go directly to the final, places 3 and 4 will get another chance in the Andra chansen round and the fifth place will leave the contest.
