The Melfest Heat it's impossible to predict

The Euro Trip | Eurovision Podcast

Show Notes

As Melodifestivalen 2026 enters its third week, we're joined by ESC Insight's Ben Robertson as we attempt to predict who might make it through to the Final from Saturday's show.

We hear why a shock NQ could be on the cards for one of the competition's most-loved acts, why a debut performer could spring a surprise, and why we shouldn't believe the odds when it comes to the overall winner of the contest. We're also catching up with Melfest returner Patrik Jean ahead of him opening the show this weekend.

And to kick off we look back at last Saturday's show, asking whether Felicia is the artist to beat this year?
