Which artists will get the last to tickets to the Melodifestivalen final in Stockholm next Saturday? Tomorrow the Swedish televoters will decide which of the eight songs that finished in third or fourth place in the semi finals that will qualify to the final.

The procedure in Andra Chansen (the Second Chance round)is quite different in this year. Two songs will compete against each other in four different heats. The winner from each heat will meet each other in a new battle until we there are only two songs left.

In the show tomorrow the competitors will be presented in postcards by artists who have already qualified to the final. Immediately when the first artists take the stageit will be possible to start to vote for the first two songs. After the performances Kristian Luuk, the host, interviews the artists in the green room at what he called “the kind table”.

When the voting is over Luuk takes the stage again to announce which one of the first two songs that moves on in the contest. After that theartists in the second, third and fourthheatsperform their entries, followed by thesame voting procedure.

The four winners from the first round are then divided into two new heatsto narrow down the number of songs to two.These two are the ones to qualify forthe Melodifestivalen final in Globen, Stockholm.
