Eurovoix Podcast Special: The Melfest Launch with Måns and Klara

We have a surprise show for you! On this Eurovoix Podcast Special, we're in Stockholm, Sweden as the 30 acts who will compete at Melodifestivalen 2025 are revealed.

James Stephenson is your host while Daniel Stridh visited SVT's press conference, where he got to speak to some of the biggest names competing at next year's contest.

We chat to Karin Gunnarsson, the Contest Producer of Melodifestivalen, about how the songs and artists get selected, catch up with Klara Hammarström as she announces her comeback to the competition, and meet a former Melfest and Eurovision winner as Måns Zelmerlöw returns.

We'll also be running you through some of the other big names competing, find out which of the debutants to look out for, and start speculating who might get the chance to fly Sweden's flag in Basel at Eurovision 2025.

Enjoy this Eurovoix Podcast special, and make sure you check out our Eurovision news show Wrap-Up to catch up on all the latest from the contest, wherever you are!
