Eurovision 2022: Iceland’s first rehearsal!

Next up on the stage of Eurovision Song Contest 2022 is Iceland. Systur with the songMeð Hækkandi Sól”  are ready for his first rehearsal on the stage of PalaOlimpico in Turin!

Everything about Systur:

Sigga, Beta and Elín are a band of sisters who have been singing together for as long as they can remember.

The girls previously assembled a group named after their beloved grandmother, Sísí Ey; scoring a huge hit in Iceland with the song, Ain’t Got Nobody.

Their father, Eythor, was a member of the legendary jazz-funk band, Mezzoforte, who scored a UK number 17 hit in 1983 with the song Garden Party. Their mother, Ellen, is also a singer, and their brother (also named Eythor) will join them on stage playing drums.

The three siblings believe strongly in the healing power of music and spend much of their time supporting those who are marginalised in society. In recent years, they have focused their activism on trans children’s rights, and are deeply involved with the local community

The Rehearsal

Systur’s song Með Hækkandi Sól means ‘with the rising sun’, so it’s literally the morning after a night of Austrian techno. Some more super-stylish retro outfits – the sixties and seventies are VERY big in the costume department this year.

This performance has some beautiful harmonies, and the glittery graphics make it feel quite magical. 100% would attend this Icelandic family gathering.

The second rehearsal of Iceland will take place on Thursday 5/5 so we will have a better picture of what we will see from Systur on the stage of the competition.

Iceland: Does Daði’s concert schedule show that he will be the representative at Eurovision 2021?

Obviously, RUV would also like to emulate the rest of the Scandinavian public televisions and make Söngvakeppnin, which is very popular in the country, next year as well.

However, the fact that Daði Freyr Pétursson, who was this year’s winner of Söngvakeppnin, was also the biggest favorite to win Eurovision 2020, has put RUV in second thoughts. In an interview on July 10, the head of the mission, Felix Bergsson, revealed that the country’s decision for Eurovision 2021 will be announced in September.

Today, Daði Freyr Pétursson announced the dates of his tour, starting in March.

In the above photos, which were published through the personal account of the Icelandic singer, on Twitter, we observe that his tour will last from March to June, with the whole of May declaring free according to his schedule.

So we could assume that Dadi is somehow showing us that he will be Iceland’s representative at Eurovision 2021 this year as well. An official announcement, about the Icelandic representative, is expected soon.

This year, Daði Freyr Pétursson, with Think About Things, was one of the favorites for Eurovision 2020, which was canceled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
