The first heat of this year’s A Dal took place this evening, as ten acts took to the stage to impress the jury and the Hungarian televoters.

The ten acts that took part in this evening’s show were;

1. Gergő Szekér – Madár, repülj!
2. Konyha – Százszor visszajátszott
3. László Váray – Someone Who Lives Like This
4. Rozina Pátkai – Frida
5. Barni Hamar – Wasted
6. Olivér Berkes – Világítótorony
7. Timi Antal ft. Gergő Demko – Kedves Világ!
8. Nomad – A remény hídjai
9. Gergő Oláh – Hozzád bújnék
10. DENIZ – Ide várnak vissza

Following the awarding of points from the jury and the televote, the first five qualifiers decided in a 50/50 split were;

• Gergő Szekér – Madár, repülj! – 41 points
• Konyha – Százszor visszajátszott – 38 points
• Timi Antal ft. Gergő Demko – Kedves Világ! – 39 points
• Nomad – A remény hídjai – 35 points
• Gergő Oláh – Hozzád bújnék – 41 points

The remaining five acts faced another public vote, with the winner receiving the final berth in the next round. In the end, it was the last song of the night that received this last spot; DENIZ with “Ide várnak vissza” (which received 34 points in the first round and finished 6th overall anyway).
