Press conference

Hosted by the earlier announced Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) presenters, Krista Siegfrids and Mikko Silvennoinen, today’s press conference will give us all more details on the forthcoming Finnish national selection for the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest.

The Finnish national broadcaster, YLE, teased fans last months with the announcement of today’s conference, with details regarding the event remaining tight-lipped. “We’ll talk about the upcoming season”, revealed the country’s broadcaster.
