A few thoughts..
- Lisa Ajax, spotty history but I see there are some good writers here. - I always adored Samir & Viktor and very much welcome them back. - Can’t stand Liamoo or M&M - I love that Cazzi Opeia sent something again, but she’s competing against herself (Jacqline) in this heat. - Danny and Dotter probably both DTF already? - ELECKTRA *.* Smashing Into Pieces, Medina I’m excited for and I hope one of these two take out the win.

I listened some Lia Larsson songs on Youtube. Possibly young generations will like her Melodifestivalen entry.

I’m at the point now where I’ve asked for a few days off next week. I’ve never seen Melfest in person, but A*Teens took it over the line for me. It would be the craziest few days and expensive as hell.
All of it for the A*Teens likely to be on stage singing Waterloo for 40 seconds. I’m sure their performance ties more in with ABBA versus their previous work. But I would die if we got a montage of their hits. |

Hahahaha flights to Copenhagen are easier to find than Malmö
 I’m staying in Copenhagen as well and just getting the train over the Oresund for Molly and then the day after for MelFest |

That's actually very helpful, thank you.
Realistically from where I am, my options are to fly direct into London and take a flight to Stockholm and the train to Malmo. There are no direct flights from where I am to Stockholm, so the connecting flight was Frankfurt and from here to Stockholm. It would be so tight for me! I would literally be heading to the airport this time next week to make it work. I wouldn't do this for anyone else but the A*Teens. I'm just so disappointed it's so last minute.. I'm hoping I can make it work. |

If you fly into London, I'd recommend flying direct from London to Copenhagen to save time. The train to Malmö from Stockholm is very long (five hours each way maybe), but Malmo is only half an hour over the Oresund bridge, direct from Copenhagen airport.
Gah, would love to get the time off but I can't next week. Enjoy if you do get to go! Hopefully it won't just be a one-off and they'll do some gigs later in the year. |

You both are amazing - thank you. Actually, looking at this again I think you are right.
I would either do Canada -> London -> Copenhagen or the flight from Canada to Frankfurt to Copenhagen (Frankfurt is the layover). I'm thinking this is a one-off (hoping for a 2025 Melfest Entry) as Sara is pregnant! I've hijacked this topic enough with my travel thoughts but thank you both. I'm still 50/50 but this ticks off two bucket list items for me. |

You’re west right? Is Vancouver a realistic start point for you? If so Icelandair is also a viable option with a stop in Reykjavik and then on to Copenhagen. Or as Rich says London on to Copenhagen. Either BA the whole way on that, or see what AirFrance/KLM offers via CDG/AMS. All the big European airlines will connect you directly to Copenhagen and avoid the need to trek down from Stockholm (unless you wanna do Stockholm as part of your trip! In which case f*** the train, fly Ryanair. One way from Stockholm to Malmo on the 2nd of Feb is 170 SEK without baggage etc which is 17€ or 22 CAD according to google)

Yes (I'm in Alberta). Calgary would be my starting point, I don't mind connecting via Toronto but would like to avoid if I can.
I did find that I would have a layover in Toronto before Denmark (on the Iceland route), it was also more expensive - but actually Toronto to Copenhagen did have a decent direct flight! However, connecting on return. |

Aaah I’m in totally the wrong province! KLM however are a viable bet on a one stop from YYC, you just connect at AMS and that’s a really nice airport to connect through. Frankfurt is a same terminal connection as well as they tend to keep the Lufthansa family all in one terminal. Heathrow will mean a terminal change tho if you come in on AirCanada or WestJet so you’ll need a really good layover for that to actually make it through - especially because it’s passport control and security. Whereas usually at AMS and Frankfurt you don’t do security on connections
I won’t lie. Planning flights is one of my favourite pastimes. It’s so relaxing 🤣 |

Thank you both so much again - today has been exciting. I think the reality of needing to be on a plane this time next week has sunk in. It would be very tight and a little disruptive. If A*Teens were an actual entry this year, I would drop everything. I'm so excited about their reunion but think I'll have to watch from home. I also would be working all day, so that flight from Calgary -> Frankfurt -> Copenhagen I think I would have been up for 36 hours and I cannot sleep while flying.
I committed to be more spontaneous this year, but, that's a bit spontaneous for me  This would have ticked off two bucket list items for me, but the unknown of what they're doing is enough for me to give this a pass. I likely think it's just tied into Abba and as much as I need an Upside Down/Halfway Around The World/Closer To Perfection medley, I don't think that's what we are about to get. But thank you both so much again. I had a heads up this may be coming and I'm so excited. Sorry for derailing the topic with Travel Plans - but you were both so helpful. However, I can still take time off work. I'm thinking of taking that time in March for the Final. Ticketmaster has been difficult to see what tickets are left, but I do see some VIP Tickets are still available (I think I want 18+ tho or the actual VIP Package with the decent seats, food etc.) has anyone been to a Final recently that has any recommendations?

Scandipop confirmed A*Teens will sing a medley of their own songs AND Abba covers.
Edit: there are rehearsal videos of A*Teens floating around and it looks like they’re getting ready to perform Floorfiller This post has been edited by Aaron.: 26th January 2024, 05:59 PM |

Jahq I think goes on a more regular basis! |

Heat 1 Clips are out!
Adam Woods: not for me but sure sounds like a belter. Samir & Viktor sounds great - hoping for a big performance (and a bit of nakedness) Melina Borglowe: no thank you. Elisa Lindstrom what in the early 00s pop song. Love this so camp. Lisa Ajax: I don’t like this at all. She needs to serve like she did on I Don’t Give… Smash Into Pieces: very good. Underwhelming heat actually? Lisa Ajax was a surprise disappointment. I think probably Smash Into Pieces/Adam Woods DTF and Lisa/Samir & Viktor AC but maybe Lisa won’t qualify at all. GIVE US A*TEENS REHEARSAL FOOTAGE. |

Lisa’s song sounds… nice enough. Like I’d listen to it and enjoy it but it’s probably coming 5th here
I was rooting for her breakthrough win moment but eh
