Sweden: Marcus & Martinus do not rule out a future Norwegian representation!

Last month, Marcus & Martinus were crowned winners of Melodifestivalen’s 2024 edition with their song “Unforgettable” and will therefore defend the Swedish title on home ground.

Marcus & Martinus are Norwegian-originated artists and speaking to “The Euro Trip Podcast“, the decision to take part in Melodifestivalen and claim the Swedish representation in Eurovision derived from the fact that they have been working the most in Sweden:

We have been thinking a little bit about it, but for us right now it felt very natural and right to do it in Sweden. 

We’ve been working for most of our time after COVID in Sweden.

Marcus & Martinus would try out MGP

Considering that the duo is from Norway, they were asked whether they would give a chance to Melodi Grand Prix, the Norwegian national selection for Eurovision:

Maybe one time. We’re still young. We have a lot of time to do it. Never say never. It’s hard to answer it right now, but if it’s the right timing or if we’re working a lot in Norway and it suits us, maybe we’ll do it. But right now it’s hard.

Marcus & Martinus were approached by NRK for Eurovision

It appears that NRK has also expressed its interest for Marcus & Martinus but apparently not at the right time. In fact and as revealed by the duo, NRK approached them for Eurovision 2023 but they had already entered Melodifestivalen.

Sweden were far ahead before the Norwegians asked us.

They did [ask us to participate] last year when we entered Melodifestivalen for the first time. But that was many, many months after we already made the song [Air] and did everything around it. They asked very, very late. We couldn’t have had a song ready if they asked so late. 

Sweden felt very right for us.

Marcus & Martinus will represent Sweden in Eurovision 2024 with their entry “Unforgettable“. As the host country, Sweden is automatically qualified to the Grand Final of May 11 and is allocated to perform first.
