Melodifestivalen 2018 – the line-up gets bigger
We previously reported, that for example Samir & Viktor and Benjamin Ingrosso are apparently in the line-up for #Melfest according to Aftonbladet. The rumoured artists get more as we got some more names.
Kikki Danielsson not only already took part nine times, she also took part in Melodi Grand Prix and was at Eurovision in 1982 as part of the group Chips finishing in 8th place and solo in 1985 where she came 3rd. She is rumoured to compete with a country song which is based on the results from the Netherlands in 2014 and 2016, not a bad idea.
Several sources near SVT also state that former “Idol”-winner Martin Almgren is among the 28 entries in Melodifestivalen 2018. TV4s “Idol” was always a good source for SVT to get great #Melfest artists. Over the last eight years, five Melodifestivalen winners have come from “Idol”. These are Robin Bengtsson , Måns Zelmerlöw , Loreen , Robin Stjernberg and Anna Bergendahl. Two of them even won Eurovision afterwards.
