Peter Cmorík, the group Desmod, Andrea Zimányová, Robo Opatovský, Robo Papp and the legends of the Slovak pop music: Peter and Julia Hečkovci will participate in the selection.
We will see three semi-finals, 10 participants in every round, 3 of each qualifying for the final, selected by the viewers. The shows will be broadcast on the 15th, 22nd of February and 1st of March. Added to that is a second-chance round in every semi-final where a 9-member professional jury can add one more participant for the final.
The final will be held in March, as previously announced, with 12 performers in total.
Slovakia returns this year to Europe's favorite TV-shows after 10 years of absence.
