Norway: Third semi-final of MGP 2022 tonight!

The selection process for the Norwegian participation in the 66th Eurovision Song Contest continues tonight. Melodi Grand Prix 2022 will keep us company for another Saturday, with another artist getting a ticket for the grand final in February 19th.

Format

Melodi Grand Prix 2022 consists of six shows: four semifinals, a second chance round and the grand final, which will determine the representative of the Scandinavian country in the 66th Eurovision Song Contest. Four artists compete in each semifinal, with only one of them advancing to the final.

Those eliminated from the semifinals (four from each) will take part in the second chance round. Four of those, who will be chosen by the televote, will compete for the fifth ticket that leads to the grand final of MGP 2022.

So, after five shows we will reach the night of the grand final, in which a total of ten artists will participate: the four winners of the semifinals, the winner of the second chance round and the five direct finalists.
