The big winner of the televoting at Eurovision 2023, Finland, tonight chooses the artist who will represent them at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Malmö in May. Seven artists compete tonight in Tampere to win Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2024, which will also mean the Nordic country’s representation at Eurovision 2024.

Final Result

The final result and therefore the grand final winner of the Finnish national final and Finland’s representative at Eurovision 2024 will be determined through a combination of public and jury voting. The Finnish public will have the first and main say in the final results, which will form 75% of the final result, while the remaining 25% will be determined by the vote of an international jury.

The show

Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2024 will take place at the Nokia Arena in Tampere. The hosts of the Finnish national final will be Pilvi Hämäläinen, Benjamin and Viivi Pumpanen.

Of course, apart from the competition part, UMK will have several other surprises. Two of last year’s UMK nominees, KUUMAA and Benjamin, are going to open the show.

At the same time, as part of the interval act, last year’s winner Käärijä and the legendary Erika Vikman will appear together on stage performing a subversive duet.

The grand final of UMK 2024 starts at 20:00 CET and you can watch it on the Finnish public television website by clicking HERE.

Last year’s UMK winner and therefore the country’s representative in Liverpool was Käärijä with “Cha Cha Cha“, who finished in second place, the country’s best result since winning the contest in 2006 in Athens.
