Everyone and everything is in place, as the first heat of the Hungarian national selection A Dal 2018 is about to begin tonight. The country has been gearing up for their 2018 Eurovision participation for a long time and now it’s time we witnessed the main part.

How to watch

The show is going to air live at 20:30 CET on:

• Duna TV
• Live webstream will also be provided, via Mediaklikk.hu

The show’s hosts will be the 2016 A Dal winner and Eurovision entrant Freddie, accompanied by the journalist Krisztina Rátonyi.

Who will appear on the show?

Tonight sees a total of 10 acts perform at the heat, as only 6 of them will eventually get the ticket to the semi-finals. 5 will be qualified by both jury and televoting and a further 1 entirely by public vote. This is how the case is going to be at all 3 heat rounds of the competition.

A few days ago, MTVA broadcaster revealed which acts will be partaking in the upcoming first A Dal heat round. Thus, tonight we will watch the following participants with their entries:

• Ceasefire X – Satellites
• Fourtissimo feat. Markanera – Kisnyuszi a kalapban
• Viktor Király – Budapest girl
• Gabi Knoll – Nobody to die for
• Leander Kills – Nem szól harang
