Finland: The rumored artists for UMK 2024!

It is true that a single photo is able to bring chaos to the Eurovision community. In fact, a leaked photo has sparked interest this weekend, just a week before the artists’ reveal for UMK 2024.

The photo, which has since gone viral, depicts a schedule for the UMK final. The document is in English, but that’s not what’s strange about it. The UMK production team has expanded to include non-Finns in recent years, putting documents in English to make them more comprehensive and accessible to non-Finnish speakers.

According to this document, Käärijä and Erika Vikman(UMK 2020) will serve as the show-openers, but the rest of the list is what has caught the attention of everyone.

Are these the competing artists in UMK 2024?

The following seven artists are mentioned in this leaked photo, along with their song titles:

1. Mikael Gabriel & Nublu – “Serenaad”
2. Sini Saboage – “Taivaan Valo”
3. Sexmane – “TULTA”
4. Windows95man & Henri Piispanen – “I Remember”
5. Jesse Markin – “Anthem”
6. Cyan Kicks – “Whisper”
7. Sara Siipola – “Tupre Tunt”

What’s even more suspicious is that five of the seven nominees were mentioned in a tweet posted back in November by a journalist named Mari Pudas.

The detailed schedule of the artists’ reveal

The candidates of UMK 2024 will be revealed on Wednesday, January 10 at 19:00 CET during a broadcast on Yle TV1, Yle Areena and UMK’s YouTube channel. Also, the broadcast will include commentary in Finnish, Swedish as well as in English, for the international audience.

Following the reveal of the candidates, the seven nominee’s songs will be released gradually, starting on January 11 and ending on January 19. The release will be conducted in the following order:

• Thursday 11/1 – First nominated song
• Friday 12/1 – Second nominated song
• Monday 15/1 – Third nominated song
• Tuesday 16/1 – Fourth nominated song
• Wednesday 17/1 – Fifth nominated song
• Thursday 18/1 – Sixth nominated song
• Friday 19/1 – Seventh nominated song

UMK 2024 will consist of a final which will be held on Saturday, February 10 at 20:00 CET.

Last year’s UMK winner and hence the country’s representative in Liverpool was Käärijä with his song “Cha Cha Cha“. Käärijä ended up in the second place, giving his country its best result since Lordi’s win in 2006.
