The competition is a six part tour (5 heats + the final) with stops in cities across Sweden to determine the country's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest. Melodifestivalen is also known informally as "Mello", or internationally as "Melfest".

Eight Swedish artists, representing different genres and generations, compete against each other each week by performing hit songs from eight different musical genres. Each week, the audience votes on their favorite contestants. Only one artist can be voted the Star of the Stars!
