Erika Vikman wins UMK 2025 and heads to Eurovision

Erika Vikman has won Finland’s Contest for New Music UMK 2025 with her song ICH KOMME. She secured victory with 430 points, receiving 75% of the vote from the Finnish public and 25% from the international jury. Vikman will now represent Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel in May 2025. A major figure in Finnish pop music, Vikman began her career at a young age, performing in summer theatres and on television.

The new music competition was held in Tampere at the Nokia Arena.

The song "Ich komme" has been chosen to represent Finland at Eurovision.

On Saturday evening, Latvia and Finland selected their Eurostories for this year. Our southern neighbours send the band Tautumeitas to Eurovision, while the northern neighbours are represented by the scandalous Erika Vikman, whose ambiguous song has driven the Finns to two pages.

Yle is starting to have some things in order, other things still need to be adjusted in UMK. The competition went as expected: Erika Vikman came, was seen and won with a bang.
