FINLAND – Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2022 (20:00 CET)
Finland’s Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu, now an established selection show in the country, was successful in producing the Nordic nation’s best result since their 2006 victory in Rotterdam, so hopes are high to continue the success in Turin. Seven acts will be hoping to earn the Finnish ticket to Italy, including one of Finland’s most famous rock exports.
The seven acts are;
- Bess – Ram pam pam
- Cyan Kicks – Hurricane
- Isaac Sene – Kuuma jäbä
- Olivera – Thank God I’m an Atheist
- The Rasmus – Jezebel
- Tommi Läntinen – Elämä kantaa mua
- Younghearted – Sun numero
Finnish music royalty in both The Rasmus and Tommi Läntinen are joined by a number of Finland’s rising stars in a diverse and high-quality line-up. One song will be chosen to represent Finland in Turin, with a 75% split of televote and a 25% count of international juries choosing the entry.
