Torbjörn Ek and Stina Dahlgren, reporters at Aftonbladet did it again and revealed six more participating acts for Melodifestivalen 2024! We remind you that last year, Aftonbladet revealed 24 out of the 28 acts of Melodifestivalen 2023, even before SVT announced the line-up officially.
But let’s see who these acts are!
Torbjörn Ek and Stina Dahlgren, reporters at Aftonbladet just reported one more artists for Melodifestivalen 2024, back-to-back after their article last night!
We remind you that last year, Aftonbladet revealed 24 out of the 28 acts of Melodifestivalen 2023, even before SVT announced the line-up officially.
It’s none other than the epadunk star Fröken Snusk who is said to be ready and is one of the very first to be informed that she had been accepted, according to a source.
Fröken Snusk has made a big name for herself in the music genre epadunk in recent years with hits such as “Rid mig som en dalahäst” och “Raggarbilar (Warra warra)“. Many people are surprised that SVT has chosen to include an artist whose lyrics are often anything but family-friendly.
In addition to lyrics that relate to sex, Fröken Snusk is also known for the pink balaclava she always wears over her face. Her real identity is therefore a secret for the time being, and she has said in previous interviews that she has no plans to take off her mask.
It has been speculated that Fröken Snusk will compete together with the artist and producer Rasmus Gozzi. The two have together achieved great success and created several hits together. According to Aftonbladet’s sources, Rasmus will not be on stage during Melodifestivalen, but let Fröken Snusk shine herself. However, he will still be involved in the entry in some way and will therefore most likely be seen behind the scenes during the competition.
We remind you that Melodifestivalen 2024 is scheduled to take place between February 3rd to March 9th, while SVT has received 2624 songs.
As you have read in one of our past articles, the final list of Melodifestivalen participants will be published on the 1st of December, at a press conference hosted by SVT at their headquarters in Stockholm.
The list of artist that are reportedly participating at Melodifestivalen 2024 are:
The 68th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Malmö, Sweden in 7, 9 and 11th of May 2024, after the second win of Loreen in Liverpool, with her song “Tattoo”:

Aftonbladet just revealed that the “Swedish Hollywood Wives” reality star Gunilla Persson is ready for the competition. Reportedly, the song will focus on her persona “The Gunilla“.
The rumours have been circulating since the 64-year-old Gunilla Persson, and her daughter Erika Persson, were spotted in the songwriter and producer Fredrik Andersson’s music studio at the record company Cardiac in Ystad earlier this fall.
Initially people thought that her daughter was set to compete at Melodifestivalen 2024, but well informed sources say that Gunilla will perform, solo. The song is written by Fredrik Andersson who, among other things, wrote the Melodifestivalen winner “If I were sorry” with Frans. Andersson also has a bit of an expertise at writing songs that capture personalities without making fun of the person in question or who performs them, such as Fran‘s “Who’s da man” (the Zlatan song). Her participation is guaranteed to be the talk of the town next year, says a person familiar with the matter.

The 2023 edition of the MTV Europe Music Awards may have been cancelled due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war for security reasons, however this did not prevent the hosts of announcing the winners of each award category. Winning artists were revealed yesterday and hence will receive their awards at a later stage.
The regional European MTV awards have a strong connection with Eurovision, as many artists emerge each year from the contest and introduce themselves into a wider audience. As a result, there could not be an MTV winning artists’ list without the presence of Eurovision stars.
Specifically,
This year, we could all agree that the “Best Nordic Act” category was a bloodbath. All the three artists nominated for the prize were Eurovision 2023 artists. Loreen, Alessandra and Käärijä were nominated, indicating the big commercial success they had after achieving a top five placement in Liverpool.
The choice was hard, but in the end Käärijä from Finland won the award of the “Best Nordic Act”.
Along with the aforementioned, there were more Eurovision stars nominated for an award in the MTV EMA 2023, such as
Reading the winning artists’ list, we can easily notice the absence of the “Best Israeli Act” category. There is no information given by the awards committee about the exclusion of the category referring to the Israeli music scene and to what extent it is connected with the ongoing war.
Nevertheless, on the nominated artists’ list, Noa Kirel, the Israeli representative in Liverpool, was also found. Noa Kirel, even before her introduction to the European audience the past May, has been a multi-nominated and multi-awarded artist in the MTV EMAs.

Aftonbladet’s Torbjörn Ek and Stina Dahlgren surpised us tonight by revealing a couple more artists that will take part in Melodifestivalen 2024! We remind you that last year, Aftonbladet revealed 24 out of the 28 acts of Melodifestivalen 2023, even before SVT announced the line-up officially.
It seems like we will have a 2023 deja vu next year. Marcus & Martinus and Adam Woods, who impressed everyone with his first-time-on-stage performance with Jon Henrik Fjällgren and Arc North. Also Clara Klingenström returns for a second time after her debut in 2021.
They finished second to Loreen , got to sing for Crown Princess Victoria and are going on an arena tour this winter. Now Aftonbladet reveals that the Norwegian twins Marcus & Martinus Gunnarsen, 21, are returning to Melodifestivalen next year to try to repeat, and preferably surpass, this year’s success. Are they back to win the whole thing?
Clara Klingenström, 28, will also return to the competition next year. She debuted in the competition in 2021 with “Behöver inte dig idag” and was awarded the same year with a Rockbjörn for this year’s breakthrough.
In addition, several sources confirm that Adam Allskog, 22, is also ready for Melodifestivalen. In this year’s competition, he was praised for his singing efforts when he competed together with Jon Henrik Fjällgren and Arc North . Now, according to several sources, he has been given a place in Melodifestivalen as a solo artist, under his stage name Adam Woods.
The new format of Melodifestivalen starting from 2024, with five sub-competitions and a total of 30 competing artists, is said to be the reason why this year there is a little delay in the announcements. Things are going a little slower this year after the reshuffle, there is probably a risk that some won’t be informed until just days before the press conference. According to sources, there is no deadline. This is how it always is. People feel stressed and wonder when the news will come. But there is no deadline, except for the day when all the names are presented. It’s just for everyone to wait.
We remind you that Melodifestivalen 2023 is scheduled to take place between February 3rd to March 9th, while SVT has received 2624 songs. The final list of Melodifestivalen participants will be published later this year, between end of November and beginning of December.

After Samir & Viktor, we have two more returns and a Drag Race Sweden artist that will come in next year’s version of Melodifestivalen!

Cazzi Opeia (stage name of Moa Carlebecker) debuted in Melodifestivalen 2022, where she finished ninth in the final. Later that spring, she won the American Song Contest, as one of the songwriters for the entry “Wonderland“, performed by the artist AleXa.

A few days after Loreen made her first step, post-Eurovision, by releasing her first single called “Is it Love“ from her upcoming album, the music video of the song just got released on YouTube!
Loreen says about “Is it Love“:
“Is It Love” was born from a place of seeking clarity, it’s a song describing and contemplating a love that’s so deep but at the same time filled with confusion. It’s about realising that to create a deeper understanding of yourself you need to accept the duality of life, that distortion and clarity goes hand in hand and are equally as important. And to experience the depth of true love, both to the self as well as to others, you have to accept and experience the depth of pain.”
As a leading female diaspora artist, Loreen’s Moroccan Berber roots are embedded in her new cinematic pop sound now more than ever and flits between cultures. All this essence is obvious in the music video as well!
