TL;DR: SVT hasn't revealed the Melodifestivalen 2027 artists yet. That happens in November–December, on 1 December according to Aftonbladet. Until then, all we have are tabloid reports. So far 28 names have been linked to the show, including E-Type, Nanne Grönvall, Dotter, EMD, Bishara and Nicke Borg. We'll update this page with all 30 artists and songs as soon as SVT announces them.

| Linda Pritchard | Aftonbladet | Competed in 2010 and 2011 |
That is 28 names for 30 places. Not all of them will hold, and names nobody mentioned tend to turn up on reveal day.
The pattern in the rumours
Three things stand out:
1. Lots of returning acts. About half the names have competed before, from Arja Saijonmaa (first in 1987) to Nomi Tales (2025). This year the veterans leaked first.
2. No obvious favourite. Only Nanne Grönvall has won, and that was in 1996. The closest anyone has come recently: Bishara and Dotter, runners-up in 2019 and 2020.
3. Four names from Idol. Kevin Walker, Love Stenmarck, Caspar Camitz and Ingrid Enckell all came through TV4's Idol.
Watch the songwriters too. Edward af Sillén is reported to have co-written Per Andersson's entry, and Cazzi Opeia co-wrote "Tattoo".
Why the odds don't mean much yet
Melodifestivalen is one of Europe's most predictable selections: the pre-final favourite won six of the last eight years. But the favourite only shows itself once the songs have been performed. Before the reveal there is no market worth the name, and before the heats the odds mostly price the artist's name.
Format, dates and arenas are in Melodifestivalen 2027: dates, cities, hosts and odds.
