We are officially one month away from the main event in Vienna! 🇦🇹 As the countdown to May begins, we’re taking a moment to look back at the incredible journey that brought us here.
Before we crown a new winner, it’s time to celebrate the “ones that got away.” We are thrilled to bring back our yearly “Dare to Dream” edition for 2026! 💫
This special playlist is a tribute to the National Final season—the hidden gems, the fan favorites, and the songs that stole our hearts but never made it to the big stage. From the high-energy beats of Melodifestivalen to the emotional ballads of Sanremo and beyond, these tracks deserve their moment in the spotlight.
