As announced in 2014, Latvia has decided to scrap Dziesma and replace it with a new format: Supernova. Today, the twenty acts participating in Supernova 2015 have been revealed. Among them are some familiar names to loyal Dziesma followers!
Antra Stafecka and Framest, who tried to go to Eurovision in 2013 are back this year. Also Markus Riva, who participated last year, is hoping to win the ticket to Vienna this time. A third act who knows what a national final stage feels like is Lana Svilpe, who tried to represent Lithuania a few years ago. The list of twenty acts can be found below:
