In  Melodifestivalen we have such artists as previous Eurovision contestants John Ludvik and 2015 winner Mans Zelmerlow. I'm wonder if he will make a come back as Loreen and will win again too, time will tell.

 

However in  Sanremo we have also some returning artists as Francesca Michelin and Francesco Gabbani.

 

In  Supernova 2022 contestans Citi Zeni and 2016 Justs will try make a comeback too.
