This year’s artist roster is particularly exciting for Eurovision and Melodifestivalen fans, showcasing a grand collection of former participants and winners. The show’s script is also in expert hands, with seasoned Eurovision and Melodifestivalen writer Edward af Sillén once again contributing to the production alongside Micke Mårtensson.

She will grace the premiere episode, bringing her powerful energy to the Solliden stage. Joining her on the opening night is Finland’s beloved Käärijä, who captivated Europe with ‘Cha Cha Cha’ at Eurovision 2023, performing alongside Swedish dance music star Basshunter.
