After crashing out of the Eurovision 2024 semi-final with a last-place finish, Iceland are determined to come back stronger in Basel. Broadcaster RÚV has now unveiled the ten acts and songs that will be competing in their national selection, Söngvakeppnin 2025.
As usual, all artists must sing in Icelandic during the semi-finals of Söngvakeppnin. Those that reach the grand final then have the choice of changing to English (or another language), should they intend to sing in this at Eurovision — eight of this year’s acts have recorded an English version of their song.
We want to know your thoughts on the ten selected songs. Which ones are standing out? Who could give Iceland the comeback they need in May?

The semi-finals of Söngvakeppnin 2025 will take place on 8 and 15 February. Three acts from each show will progress to the grand final on 22 February.
During the final, the result will be determined by a 50:50 split between public voting and seven international juries. For the first time since 2013, there will be no super-final round.
