Finnish broadcaster Yle has announced the running order for their national final Uuden Musikiin Kilpailu 2025.
The running order is as follows:
- Costee – “Sekaisin“
- Neea River – “Nightmares“
- Goldielocks – “Made Of“
- VIIVI – “Aina“
- Nelli Matula – “Hitaammin hautaan“
- Erika Vikman – “ICH KOMME“
The broadcaster has also announced a change to the voting system. The public can start voting for their favorite artist right after the first UMK25 performance begins, similar to how it is at the Eurovision Song Contest. In previous editions voting only opened after every artist had performed their entry.
UMK 2025 will be held on February 8 in the Nokia Arena in Tampere. UMK will be held in Tampere for the fourth time and in the Nokia Arena, the largest indoor arena in Finland, for the second time.
