/0 Comments/in , /by

Erik Struve, the producer of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix (DMGP), revealed the initial details of Denmark’s selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which will be held in Basel, Switzerland.

Speaking yesterday at the annual meeting of the Danish Eurovision fan club, Melodigrandprixfans.dk, Struve shared additional information about DMGP 2025. Mr. Struve, responsible for the national selection’s production, confirmed that eight entries will compete to represent Denmark in Basel, with the artists being announced three weeks prior to the event. Additionally, the voting system that will be used to determine the winner will remain the same as in 2024.

Notably, four of the eight entries have already been chosen by Denmark’s national broadcaster, DR. Among these selected acts, one will feature an artist who has previously participated in Eurovision. This marks the second consecutive year that DMGP will showcase a former Eurostar, following Basim’s participation in the 2024 selection with his song “Johnny,” which finished in second place.

The final of the Melodi Grand Prix 2025 will take place on March 1 at the Jyske Bank Boxen in Horsens. The winning song will represent Denmark in the beloved Eurovision Song Contest.
