Sweden: The running order of the Semi-Final show of Melodifestivalen 2023 is revealed!

A while ago, the running order of the contestants, of the semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2023 was just revealed by SVT!

The running order is determined, each year, by the production team of Melodifestivalen, taking into consideration both the competing songs’ musical qualities as well as stage performance and other production considerations and can be seen below:

1. Mer av dig – THEOZ
2. One Day – Mariette
3. Diamonds – Victor Crone
4. Now I Know – Tennessee Tears
5. Raggen går – Elov & Beny
6. For The Show – Melanie Wehbe
7. Släpp alla sorger – Nordman
8. Where Did You Go – Kiana

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!
