Sweden: Watch clips from the rehearsals of the third Melodifestivalen 2023 heat!

As usual, a few hours before each Melodifestivalen heat, SVT published the rehearsal clips of all seven competing artists of the third heat of February the 18th, taking place in Lidköping.

A while ago, the first 30 third rehearsal clips of the upcoming heat got published! You can watch the published clips, by clicking on the song title links below:

1. Paul Rey – Royals
2. Casanovas – Så kommer känslorna tillbaka
3. Melanie Wehbe – For The Show
4. Nordman – Släpp alla sorger
5. Laurell – Sober

The lyrics of the songs are already published and you can have a look in more detail, in our corresponding article.

The process

Two songs will directly qualify to the grand final of Melodifestivalen 2023, which will take place on the 11th of March. The songs that will place third and fourth will have to compete again, at the fifth semi-final, held on the 4th of March. There will be four heats in total.

As we have already informed you, the voting system of Melodifestivalen has changed following the announced changes by EBU regarding the voting format in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool!

The broadcaster now scraps the group division at the fifth show, known as the semi-final and all eight contestants will now have to face each other. Points will be awarded from the viewing groups and the four entries with the highest points will advance to the final!
