One of the entries not directly advancing to the Final from semi-final 1 and 2 will have a second chance, with the contest organisers choosing a fifth song to compete in the Final. It has been confirmed that Celebs with ‘Dómsdags dans’ from semi-final has won the wildcard entry into the Final!

Iceland is the only Nordic country that has not won the Eurovision Song Contest. They have competed 34 times since their debut in 1986. Iceland's best result are two second-place finishes with Selma in 1999 with 'All Out of Luck' and Yohanna in 2009 with 'Is It True?'. Last year Iceland were represented by Systur with 'Með hækkandi sól' which finished in 23rd place.
