Melodifestivalen is one of the biggest Eurovision song contest finders in Europe.
A six-week competition of non-stop Swedish bangers to find the ultimate Eurovision song contest entrant. Past years have seen Loreen, Måns Zelmerlöw, Charlotte Nilsson and, of course, ABBA, crowned and sent to the campfest that is Eurovision. Melodifestivalen must be doing something right – Sweden has notched up six Eurovision wins, more than any other country.
This year’s Melodifestivalen will see Loreen competing again; hopefully, she’ll make it through the heats to the 11th March Grand final so that you can watch her with us.
This will be a live screening of the competition from 7 – 9 pm, with pre-screen hosting and entertainment by Linus Karp, our very own Swedish cabaret star. Linus is the creator of the smash hit, award-winning show ‘How to live a Jellicle life – life lessons from the 2019 hit movie musical – Cats.’ and his current sellout smash hit: ‘Diana – the untold and untrue story’ currently on tour.
Linus will provide authentic Swedish entertainment and translations at critical moments of the competition. You, the audience, also get to vote on your favourite to find the Brewersfestivalen winner, then stay and party to all the best Melodifestivalen and Eurovision bangers with DJ James Rawson (Push the Button collective).
