Due to the fact the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has recommended to cancel all public event with over 1.000 people, the national final of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will be aired without audience. There were 9.000 tickets sold. Now it looks really empty and triste outside the Royal Arena.
This is the first time this is happening in the Danish television, but for all participants, guests and people involved it’s probably the best and safest solution, unlike the Swedish colleagues, who still air the show as planned with audience. The Swedes are forced to stay at home, when they feel sick.
The press team of DR emphasized that there is a general understanding of this untypical situation and they don’t expect that the viewing figures will go down. This was a 24h emergency change and everything had to be rearranged from a live show to a studio event.
Let’s hope that the 10 participants don’t suffer too much from this situation and that there will be a great evening of music.
