Danny Saucedo will compete in Melodifestivalen for the fifth time on Saturday. This year he presents the contribution “Happy that you found me”. But now, hours before the performance, he may have to change his attire.
The violation during the general rope
During Friday’s rep experience The Express that the artist may have broken SVT’s rules because he performed in shoes with a clear Adidas logo. It is against SVT’s rules to wear garments with visible logos.
This rule has already been broken once during this year’s Melodifestvalen. It was during the first competition when Liamoo went straight to the final. On the way up, a person in the Mello production can be seen wearing both the AIK and Nike logos on his shirt.
After the general rep, Expressen asked Danny Saucedo about the violation.
– You mean it’s a brand? What should we do about it?, he tells Expressen.

Melodifestivalen’s answer about the violation of the rules
News24 has been in contact with Melodifestivalen’s press team, who say this about the breach of rules:
– We have to check if he needs to change his shoes or just tape them over.
If Danny Saucedo breaks SVT’s rules, it could lead to SVT having to pay a large fine to the state. For example, it has happened when Samir Badran performed with a large print on the shirt. Then SVT was forced to pay SEK 100,000 to the state, writes The Express.
How expensive Danny Saucedo’s fine would be is still unclear.
– It is not possible to say what type of fine it would be, is a process where the review board must first have its say.
