In 2008, five bands participated each week. Each week consisted of one moment where the bands were free to perform a pop or rock song, followed up by the second moment, Dansbandsklassikern ("The dansband classic"), where a famous dansband song was performed, chosen by drawing. The finalist bands are given an own, new own-produced song, followed up by the two remaining bands performing their own version of a song.

There are discussions of spreading the concept outside Sweden, with a disco/folk music version in Poland and a country music version in the United States.[1]
