Listen to the songs competing at Söngvakeppnin 2022 and vote for your favourites!
Tonight the Icelandic broadcaster, RÚV has revealed the 10 songs which are competing for a chance to represent Iceland at Eurovision Song Contest 2022.
RÚV has previously announced that the final of Söngvakeppnin will be taking place on 5th of March, but that was recently changed to 12th of March. They moved the dates one week later because by doing so there are higher chances to have an audience in the studio for the shows and thereby make each show better. This came as a result of a consultation with health authorities due to the prevalence of Covid-19 infections on the island. On 26th of January we informed you that Björg Magnúsdóttir, Jón Jónsson and Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir will be hosting the show.
