The 18 participants competing in MGP 2024 will be revealed on 5th January. Three Heats will take place in Marienlyst in Oslo with the Final in Trondheim Spektrum
The Melodi Grand Prix was held for the very first time in 1960. Nora Brockstedt became the first winner of the competition with the song “Voi-voi”. The broadcast took place in NRK’s premises at Marienlyst in Oslo.
In 2024, NRK will take the competition back to its roots when the three Heats are again will take place at Marienlyst:
- Heat 1 – 13 January 2024
- Heat 2 – 20 January 2024
- Heat 3 – 27 January 2024
Marienlyst is sacred ground for the start of Norwegian TV history and Norway’s biggest music show in almost 65 years. The stories and music sit on the walls of Studio 1 and Studio 2. Both will be used when the artists will fight for a final place in Trondheim Spektrum, in front of 8,500 people in the hall and around a million people in front of the TV screen,

18 artists in the competition
There will be 18 participants competing in next year’s Melodi Grand Prix. Six artists and bands take part in each Heat, with three advancing to the Grand Final.
We are excited about the new line-up in MGP. We can promise a very high level of artists and songs, and a varied and exciting repertoire. There will be big and well-known artists, there will be new shooting stars, a wide selection of genres and expressions. We have the songs that can assert themselves strongly in Europe and the world. And who knows, maybe 2024 will be the year when Norway wins the Eurovision Song Contest again,
says Stig Karlsen.
