We’re beyond excited to announce that BLADË (Isa Tengblad) is selected for Melodifestivalen 2026: A Full Circle Moment. One of South Nation Music Group’s most dynamic and boundary-pushing artists has officially been selected to compete in Melodifestivalen 2026!
A Breakthrough Moment
BLADË’s inclusion in Sweden’s biggest music competition marks a pivotal moment for both her and us. Known for her edgy, alternative pop sound and bold visual identity, BLADË is about to bring her unique energy to the Melodifestivalen stage—reaching millions of viewers across Sweden and beyond.
In BLADË’s Own Words
“10 years later. New name. New mind. New me. Produced the song myself. I’m out of words for how thankful and freeeeeeaking excited I am to say that I’m gonna enter the Melodifestivalen stage 2026. Like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Wtf?! Such a full circle moment. I screamed when I found out. I’m nervous to hell guys… but in the best way!!!
This all makes me think of the young Isa who I sing so much about in all my lyrics. How much she went through but what a bad ass she became. My song ‘Who you are’ is for her and for every single person out there who needs to hear that they’re enough just the way they are. It’s an encouragement to show the imperfect, unpolished and broken parts of you and do it unapologetically. I’m literally in tears writing this. See you 2026 🥹❤️”
