Iceland in The Song 1

Iceland took part in first edition of The Song which was hosted by Ireland in Dublin. The entry was selected internally, resulting in GusGus and Vök representing the nation with the song Higher.

Selection Process
Once RÚV's head of delegation had been decided, the broadcaster announced that Iceland's representative would be internally selected. The song was verified and accepted by the EBU on the morning of 18th May.

Whilst it is unknown which artists are considered by RÚV, one unofficial source has leaked that Últra Mega Technobandið Stefán were being considered to fly the flag in Dublin, however they would not have been able to participate in The Song sue to having no music released post-2017.
