Hungary: Line-up complete for A Dal 2018 Semi-Finals

And that’s it! We now know the last six acts who’ll join the previous twelve qualifiers in the pressure cooker of the A Dal 2018 Semi-Finals, to be held on 10th and 17th February.

In a night of jangling nerves and rising pulse rates, the five artists who secured the votes they needed as a result of the first round of voting (a combined jury and public verdict) were:

  • Nikoletta Szőke, Attila Kökény & Róbert Szakcsi Lakatos: Életre kel – 44 points
  • Tamás Horváth: Meggyfa – 42 points
  • Ham ko Ham: Bármerre jársz – 38 points
  • Maszkura és a tücsökraj: Nagybetűs szavak – 38 points
  • Cintia Horváth & Tomi Balogh: Journey – 37 points

The sixth qualifier then survived a further public vote:

  • Roland Gulyás: Hypnotized – 35 points

The following four acts, then, failed to progress:

  • Nova Prospect: Vigyázó – 37 points
  • Reni Tolvai: Crack my code – 37 points
  • Yeahla feat. Viki Eszes: 1 szó mint 100 – 35 points
  • Andy Roll: Turn the lights on – 33 points

That means that the complete list of Semi-Finalists is as follows:

  • Leander Kills: Nem szól harang
  • Zsolt Süle: Zöld a május
  • Viktor Király: Budapest Girl
  • Ceasefire X: Satellites
  • Gabi Knoll: Nobody to die for
