Denmark 🇩🇰 SABA – Sand
Czechia 🇨🇿 Aiko – Pedestal

Belgium 🇧🇪 Mustii – Before The Party’s Over
Netherlands 🇳🇱 Joost – Europapa
Joost is through to the final! One of the most talked about songs this year ‘Europapa’ has stormed through to the final for The Netherlands. He scored an impressive 75 points from our team.
Austria 🇦🇹 Kaleen – We Will Rave
Switzerland 🇨🇭 Nemo – The Code
No surprises here, the bookmakers’ favourite Switzerland have qualified for our final! Nemo’s song was our overall winner scoring 4 sets of 12 points and was the only song to receive points from everyone.
Norway 🇳🇴 Gåte – Ulveham
Latvia 🇱🇻 Dons – Hollow
