The second semi-final of Söngvakeppnin has just finished and the line up for the final of the show is complete as three more acts advanced further in the show. The hosts of the show were: Guðrún Dís Emilsdóttir, Benedikt Valsson and Fannar Sveinsson. The venue where it took place was RVK Studios in Gufunes.

The line up of the semi-final 2 was as follows:

1. Dagur Sig – “Flugdrekar”
2. Júlí & Dísa – “Eldur”
3. Bára Katrín – “Rísum upp”
4. Bjarni Arason – “Aðeins lengur”
5. Tinna – “Þrá”

Unlike the previous years when the show featured a 5 act grand finale this year the broadcaster scratched the wild card as the best three out of five semi-final acts advanced and we will be watching the 6 acts grand finale. Like in the previous editions of the show all songs will be performed in Icelandic in the semi-final while in the final the artists could perform the English language version of the song if that is the version which they would like to perform on the ESC 2025 stage. Another novelty is that for the first time since 2013 the decision of the winner won’t be made after the super-final round. The decision will be made by the public and international votes (50:50). Seven international juries will be casting their votes.

The ones who qualified were just announced without revealing any details of the voting:

Júlí & Dísa – “Eldur”

Bjarni Arason – “Aðeins lengur”

Tinna – “Þrá”

They have joined the qualifiers from the semi-final 1:

• Ágúst – “Eins og þú”
• Stebbi Jak – “Frelsið Mitt”
• Væb – “Róa”
