Your preview of Iceland's 'Söngvakeppnin' final

How To Watch: The 'Söngvakeppnin' final is happening on Saturday 2 March, with a start time of 20:45 CET. Wherever you are in the world, you'll be able to stream it live on Icelandic broadcaster RÚV's online player.

Through two Saturday nights in February, we were seated as Iceland's Söngvakeppnin brought us the semi-finals of the 2024 edition of the beloved song competition. Now, thanks solely to the votes of the Icelandic public, we have our 5-song final to look forward to on Saturday night. 

After the semi-finals that took place in the Truenorth studios, the climax of Söngvakeppnin returns to its usual final-night stomping ground of Laugardalshöll, on the eastern side of the Icelandic capital of Reykjavík. 

Ragnhildur Steinunn, Siggi Gunnars and Unnsteinn Manuel will be our three hosts on hand to talk us through the evening of entertainment, which is expected to last for just under two and a half hours.

As well as taking us through the 5 competing entries, our hosts will also be guiding us through the voting process - which, as in previous years at the final of Söngvakeppnin, will happen across two stages.

In the first round of voting we'll watch as an international jury vote and a public televote contribute scores to the 5 finalists. Each side will have a 50% say in the points that are given out and this will result in two songs moving forward to a 'superfinal'.

In this round, it's just the Icelandic public that will get to score the songs. All public votes will be carried over from the first stage, voting will open again, and Iceland will decide which entry is declared the winner of Söngvakeppnin 2024.

Ahead of Saturday night's Söngvakeppnin final, you can already get yourself familiar with the 5 songs that will be taking part.
