Last four acts qualified for Melodifestivalen 2023 grand final

The lineup of finalists at the Melodifestivalen 2023 is now completed. The last four were qualified this Saturday in the semi-final of Sweden’s selection for the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), which took place at Hägglunds Arena.

Eight competitors who came third or fourth in their respective heats had a second chance to fight for a place in the final. Theoz was the first to perform and Kiana was the last to take the stage. The semi-final was also marked by the tribute to Pernilla Wahlgren, who was elected for the Melodifestivalen’s Hall of Fame.

Aas in the other shows up until now, the public alone decided the results. Kiana, Mariette, Nordman and Theoz were in the top four places of the semi-final and, thus, will compete in next week’s final. In all, there are 12 finalists.
