A previous Eurovision contestant who missed out on the chance to perform live in the final will finally get the chance to sing on Europe's biggest stage. Dadi Freyr represented Iceland in the 2021 competition with his song '10 years' after his 2020 Eurovision hopes were dashed when the Covid-19 outbreak cancelled the competition.
But after entering again in 2021, even being tipped as favourite to win, a member of his band Dadi og Gagnamagnid tested positive for Covid and they were unable to perform live in the finale. A recorded performance was aired and the band came in fourth, behind winners Måneskin.
On Saturday, May 13, Freyr will finally get to live out his dreams on the Eurovision grand final stage in Liverpool, though not as one of the contestants. Instead he will sing a "Liverpool song" and has promised a potential cameo from his wife.
