🇫🇮 It’s party time in Finland: Previewing UMK 2024

Last year, Finland came within a breath of victory thanks to their king Käärijä. This year, they’re hoping that Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (or UMK for ease of use) delivers another Eurovision contender.

Michael and Io run through the seven entries in the running to go to Malmö, ahead of the show going to air at 6am AEDT on Sunday 11 February (or 8pm CET on Saturday). Not only can you see all seven songs via Yle’s website, you can also enjoy the delight of a massive interval act and a banging opener thanks to Benjamin.

Where do Michael and Io want to put all their points?

What’s up with the red flags?

Who should have a gig on Drag Race Finland?
