Iceland: Discover the songs of Söngvakeppnin 2025
There's a lot going on! Each country announces its own artists in the run-up to February, a month packed with national selections, and now it's Iceland's turn, through public broadcaster RÚV, to announce its selection for Söngvakeppnin 2025, the competition that has determined the artist representing the country at Eurovision every year since 2013.
This year, ten songs will compete at Söngvakeppnin 2025, selected from 110 submissions received by the broadcaster.
Söngvakeppnin 2025: how does it work?
The Söngvakeppnin 2025 will take place over three evenings:
- 8 February 2025 Semi-final 1
- 15 February 2025 Semi-final 2
- 22 February 2025 : Final
During the semi-finals, each artist will perform their song in its Icelandic version. Each song is available in Icelandic and English. At the end of each semi-final, three artists will qualify for the final thanks to a 100 % public vote. In the final, the six remaining contestants will have the opportunity to sing in the language of their choice, and the winner will be decided by a combined vote of 50 % jury and 50 % public.
You can follow the evenings on the broadcaster's website RUV.
