On Saturday 3rd February Latvia will kick off their national selection process with Supernova 2018. Now LTV, the Latvian broadcaster, announced changes in the format and the hosts for the upcoming shows. The final of Supernova 2018 will take place on the 24th February.
The hosts of Supernova 2018
Justs and Dagmāra Legante will host the three semi-finals and the final of the Latvian national selection. Justs represented Latvia in 2016 with his entry “Heartbeat”. He won the second edition of Supernova. Justs finished in 15th place in the grand final of Stockholm. Dagmāra Legante is a TV personality and model. There will also be a live stream with input from the social media. This will be hosted by Toms Grēviņš and Edgars Bāliņs.
Format changes
New this year is, that Latvian viewers can only cast one vote via phone or text. Spotify streams will be used like last year as part of the public vote. Nevertheless, the jury led by DJ Rudd will also have their say in the results. Two songs of each semi-final will make it to the final on the 24th February.
