[tps_header]Heja Sverige! The Swedish national selection, Melodifestivalen, moves on to the fourth semi-final this week.

About the show

Two entries from each of the four semi-finals will be selected to qualify to the grand final on the 14th March 2015 at the Friends Arena in Stockholm. The entries placed 3rd and 4th will progress onto Andra Chansen (Second Chance), where four of the 8 songs will win the last tickets to the grand final of the contest. As usual, in Melodifestivalen we see get to see and hear 1 minute snippets of each act’s song and performance before Saturdays’ show. So here we go!
