Norway’s Road to Eurovision 2025: The MGP Grand Final Is Here!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tonight, Norway will select its representative for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland. The Scandinavian country’s beloved national selection, Melodi Grand Prix (MGP), returns with a brand-new format — featuring a single, action-packed final to determine the winner.

A New Era for MGP

For the first time in years, the Norwegian broadcaster NRK has streamlined the selection process, opting for one grand show instead of multiple semi-finals. The change brings Norway’s format closer to its Nordic neighbors Denmark and Finland, who have long used a one-night-only approach for their Eurovision selections.

Tonight, the nine competing entries will be performed live for the very first and only time — making every performance crucial for the artists involved.

The Finalists

Here are the nine acts competing for the golden ticket to Eurovision 2025:

  1. Tone Damli – “Last Song”
  2. Sondrey – “Vagabong”
  3. Nora Jabri – “Sulale”
  4. Wig Wam – “Human Fire”
  5. LLL – “Parasite”
  6. Kyle Alessandro – “Lighter”
  7. Nataleen – “The Game”
  8. Ladybug – “Hot as Hell in Paradise”
  9. Bobbysocks – “Joyfull”

Voting System

The MGP 2025 winner will be determined through a combined voting process:

  • 60% public vote (Norwegian viewers)
  • 40% international jury vote

This voting format has been used in recent years, ensuring a balance between domestic support and international appeal.

Special Guests & Hosts

The evening will feature guest performances from:

  • Gåte – last year’s MGP winners, who represented Norway at Eurovision 2024 with “Ulveham”.
  • Marcus & Martinus – the Norwegian twin duo who competed for Sweden in Malmö, finishing in second place with “Unforgettable”.

Hosting tonight’s event are:

  • Marte Stokstad
  • Tete Lidbom
  • Markus Neby

How to Watch

The Melodi Grand Prix 2025 Grand Final will be broadcast live tonight at:

  • 19:50 CET on NRK1
  • Available worldwide via NRK’s official website (click here to watch)
