Melodifestivalen

Experience Melodifestivalen live

Feel the unique atmosphere in Scandinavium when Sweden's biggest folk festival stops in Gothenburg.

Sitting in Scandinavium and experiencing Melodifestivalen live is absolutely fantastic. Every year a magical show filled with joy, music and excitement is delivered, and 2025 will be no exception. Take part in this spectacular musical experience filled with glitter, balloons and cheers.

The genre rehearsal on Friday is perfect for those who want to hear the songs first of all, Saturday's early matinee performance is a fantastic party for families with children and the live broadcast on Saturday evening is of course something very special.

This year's hosts are none other than Kristina "Keyyo" Petrushina and Edvin Törnblom.

See you at Scandinavium!
