The songs were available worldwide for a few moments, so some users were able to download or record them, meaning there are some audio files of the song on social networks. Once the songs are officially presented to the public and press tonight, all 12 entries will be available for everyone to give it a listen and start the so-called “fight” to represent Iceland at Eurovision 2018
Stay tuned for more information about the Icelandic National Final and for tonight’s official announcement. (Available live here at 20.40 CET)
