/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Icelandic band Systur has revealed that they faced  technical problems during yesterday’s Jury Semi Final One.

Systur described that a failure occured in the sound system which was “upsetting” to them as they did not have such problems during previous rehearsals.

The failure was apparently not detected by the juries but brought Systur out of balance as they were unable to hear each other on stage during their performance. However, they feel that the rehearsal went “incredibly well despite the failure”.

Systur will compete tonigh on the first semi-final  for a ticket for the Final, with the song “Með hækkandi sól”:
