It’s almost go-time! Presenting the UMK25 running order 👏🪩 And then some additional news: This season, there will be a change in the audience voting system, allowing the Finnish public to vote for their favorite artist right after the first UMK25 performance begins 📲 This is a significant change, as in previous seasons, voting only opened after every competitor had performed their entry. The aim of this voting reform is to give even more music fans the opportunity to influence the selection of the UMK winner and Finland's next Eurovision representative. The Eurovision final uses the same system! 🗳 Read more at yle.fi/umk.

The group of contestants in Yle’s Contest for New Music UMK is shrinking by one: the band One Morning Left will no longer continue in the competition. Yle has excluded the band from the competition due to a rule violation. Yle and One Morning Left have discussed the matter and agree on the basis for the decision.
