Performing during the show in position 13, "Soldiers of Love" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.

On 30 June 2015, the broadcaster announced that Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2016 would be organised in order to select Denmark's entry for the 2016 contest.

In addition, the show was also broadcast via radio on DR P4 with commentary by René Sabro and Anders Bisgaard.

[14][15][16] DR subsequently confirmed the list of participants and held a press meet and greet at the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen on 13 January.

[22] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.

[23] On 25 January 2016, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.

Lighthouse X was joined by three off-stage backing vocalists: Søren Okholm, Christoffer Brodersen and Anders Ørsager.

[35] At the end of the show, Denmark was not announced among the top 10 entries in the second semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.

[37] Voting during the three shows was conducted under a new system that involved each country now awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting.

Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.

This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

[38] In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.
