Tonight sees the start of the Hungarian selection process to choose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in May!

Called “A Dal” (“The Song”), tonight’s first heat sees 10 acts perform their songs, from which 6 will qualify through to the semi-final stage.

The show will include a jury of 4 professionals (Károly Frenreisz, Caramel, Zséda, and Miklós Both) who will individually mark each performance out of 10. The public will also vote on the songs as they are being performed, via the official app. The average app score will then be added to the jury scores to reveal the 5 top songs which will go through to the next round.

The public will then be invited to televote on the remaining 5 acts to choose the 6th qualifier.

Tonight’s performers are (the running order is yet to be decided) :

Benji – Karcok
Calidora – Glory
Dávid Henderson – White Shadows
Kata Csondor – Create
Leander Kills – Élet
Rocktenors – Ősz
Roma Soul – Nyitva a ház
Spoon 21 – Deák
The Wings – Mint a hurrikán
Viki Singh – Rain
