Eurovision 2021: First rehearsal for Daði Freyr & Gagnamagnið from Iceland

Eurovision 2021: First rehearsal for Daði Freyr & Gagnamagnið from Iceland
Monday, 10 May 2021

  • Second last in today's rehearsals in Rotterdam Ahoy was Daði Freyr & Gagnamagnið from Iceland who rehearsed first time their entry '10 Years'.

    "10 Years" is a song taking us to the disco music field. Its disco rhythm along with the humour behind the lyrics reflect a genre of song close to what the Icelandic hopeful had introduced himself with last year's "Think About things" . The track is inspired by Daði’s relationship with his wife, mother of his child and member of Gagnamagnið, Árný Fjóla Ásmundsdóttir. 

    Last year Daði & Gagnamagnið won the Icelandic national final, Söngvakeppnin 2020, and were set to represent the nation with their entry “Think About Things” . Although the contest was cancelled due to the covid-19 outbreak the Icelandic acts will have the chance to complete their Eurovision journey in 2021.

     

    The Staging

    The Icelandic band appears on stage wearing the familiar to the audience, from last year's performances, turquoise blouses and black pants. In the background we first see scenes from space and then the band itself in 8bit formats. The choreography is something we see in the offiicial video fo the song .

    At one point, three members of the band join the semicircular keyboards that hold and form a circle creating a impressive visual. Vocally the song is delivered descently and Dadi has proved us in previous.
