Albania 2025: 15 acts to Festivali i Këngës final

Albania is one step closer to crowning their Eurovision 2025 representative. After tonight's Nostalgia Night at Festivali i Këngës, it was revealed who would advance to the Final.

While tonight's performances did not affect who would move onto the Final, all 30 artists did perform. The 15 acts who advanced to the final was based on voting from the two Semi-finals held on Thursday and Friday this week.

All the 15 finalists will perform their song again tomorrow. One lucky act will represent Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland.
