Vienna 2015

Eighteen songs to compete in UMK

On the official UMK Instagram account, eightteen pictures of silhouettes and lyrics were posted, suggesting that the 2015 Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu competition will have a total of eightteen entries in it.
The lyrics suggest that the most used language in UMK will be Finnish: half of the entries will have Finnish lyrics. Eight songs will be sung in English and the odd one out is the one song that will have Spanish lyrics. Although all of this is just suggestions drawn from the pictures, it seems there will be seven bands, ten solo artists and one duet.
All that YLE has confirmed is that the artists will be revealed on 13 January, with the first live show taking place on 7 February. The official trailer for UMK 2015 was revealed a few days ago, on 30 December. You can see the trailer below.
