Previewing Melodifestivalen 2025: From bros to… ?

After months of musical delight (and disappointment), the 2025 Eurovision National Final Season is coming to a close.

And as is traditional, Sweden‘s festival of music, Melodifestivalen, is the last preview show of the year.

Michael and Io get through most of the songs wanting to win that special trophy and head to Basel. Will it be the return of a Swedish champion or will another foreigner claim the reward?

Watch Melodifestivalen on SVT Play on Saturday 8 March from 8pm if you’re in Europe, or on Sunday 9 March from 6am if you’re working on AEDT.

What’s the deal with Måns?

Who’s got Michael feeling the ’80s?

Where did all the horses comes from?
