Denmark: Melodi Grand Prix final to take place on February 11!

Denmark’s public broadcaster, DR, announced that the final of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2023, will take place in Νæstved, in Saturday, February 11.

It’s the first time that Næstved will host DMGP, with the national final taking place in Arena Næstved, with a capacity of 7.000 audience.

Eight songs will take part in the competition, with the submission currently being in progress until the 28th of October in the noon.

Gustav Lützhøft, the senior editor of DR Kultur, Debat og Musik said that:

“Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is a proud tradition and a musical festival, bringing us together across generations and music tastes. Therefore, again this year, what we want is to create a show that brings Danish people together in their homes, in their living rooms and celebrates music and the art of songwriting.”

Carsten Rasmussen, mayor of Næstved added on it and said:

“We are happy that DR has chosen Næstved as the venue for DMGP 2023. If we have to say so ourselves, it is obvious, because Næstved is a city with a lot of musical culture. We even have two DMGP winners: From Næstved Musikskole singer and actress Flora Ofelia, who won the children’s DMGP in 2015, and the Næstved Ungdomsskole drummer Ihan Haydar, who won the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 2012 and also competed last year.”

Τhe group Reddi won last year’s Dansk MGP and represented Denmark in Eurovision 2022 with the song “The Show”,  but didn’t manage to qualify for the final, ending up in 13th place of the first semi-final.
