Before North Vision[]

DR confirmed the country's participation on 28 May 2015 with the Head of Delegation saying: "I don't see a reason why we should withdraw. We had a fair success throughout the history of the contest and the contest is really popular here, it's always among the top 10 most watched shows". It was also revealed that the 10th edition of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix would be resumed with the live shows. The Storm, who were internally selected to represent the country in the 14th edition, decided to pull out due to the selection being held during the 14th edition and also because they'd rather leave their place to someone else. They were replaced by the foreign act, Beyond the Black.
