The finalists will perform their music in front of 16 000 at the arena and several hundred thousand viewers.

The music production will begin already in the middle of May, and the whole gang will be sent to camp together to get to know each other better, before the crucial rehearsal period leading up to the final will start.

She believes the youth have a unique ability to write powerful lyrics that can both inspire and make an impression.
