Eurovision Song Contest 2026
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026 was the 56th edition of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, the music competition that selects Denmark's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest. The event was held on 14 February 2026 at the Arena Nord in Frederikshavn and broadcast on DR1 as well as streamed online at DRTV.[2][3][4] Eight songs competed in one show where the winner was determined over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top three songs based on the combination of votes from a public vote and a 20-member jury panel qualified to the superfinal. In the superfinal, the winner was determined again by the votes of the jury and public. The jury panel was composed of 10 international members and 10 Danish members, while viewers were able to vote via SMS or a mobile application specifically designed for the competition. Viewers using the app were provided with three free votes for each song per round.[5][6]
DR held a press meet and greet at the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen on 22 January 2026, where Lund was officially announced as one of the eight finalists in the competition with the song "Før vi går hjem", having previously competed in 2023.[7][8] In the final, he advanced to the superfinal, where he was selected as the winner by the public and jury vote.[5][9]
