EuroFans while the DJ plays Despacito:

Wild that Dance Alone by Love Generation is still one of the greatest Melodifestivalen entries ever, still sounds fresh today, yet still was paid absolute dirt at #Melfest.

But was that not the whole point? Somewhere for artists and those working on the contest to party after? Then it spun into fandom understandably because there's a big market for it. Making it feel like a purely financial place is such a loss.

Btw did they ever stop lanyards getting in for free?

Exactly. And then 2 nights in they will reverse the choice. There should always be at least a main huge ESC room and a retro room.

It's complex because I don't know why OGAE don't go it alone now, but I heard stories about the unofficial Fan Club in Malmö and Liverpool that sounded 😬🤐🫣

Accommodation would have been booked with the EuroClub specifically in mind. I know things change but this late on, with a venue downgrade is shocking imo.

The 2026 Euroclub will be located in the heart of Vienna, at the iconic Rathaus (Vienna City Hall). The said venue hosted the 2015 Lifeball and the Eurovision 2015 Welcome Reception and has great experience in hosting events.

Walk from city hall to the new EuroClub location.

Whatever happened to the Rathaus (Vienna City Hall) being the EuroClub venue? Honestly it was the main reason I considered possibly going because I want to party inside there! Wonder what caused the change? Imagine booking accommodation based on that then finding out the new venue is nowhere near.

EuroClub used to be only for artists, delegations, and the lanyard elite (though for Carola's sake take them off inside) but then opened to OGAE. Why did the public need to be involved? Why not make another club or let a private company do it? Who is going to a #Eurovision club who is not a fan?

It is important to note that this year's EuroClub is not being organised by OGAE although our friends at OGAE Austria have been assisting with ideas for special guests. The venue will have three separate dance floors, but will not be exclusively Eurovision. We have, however, been assured that at least one dance floor will be dedicated wholly to Eurovision and will feature our familiar DJs.

Obviously a lot about #Eurovision I currently detest, but I've called out for years that the heart is being ripped from the contest by corporate greed. What is the point of a EuroClub now if they have to beg for crumbs to have any part actually for ESC? Why open it up over the years to destroy it?

I'm really not enjoying #EastEnders currently.
Johnny is a terrible character, badly acted.
Callum is equally as irritating.
And don't get me started on Max return. One dimensional mopey teenager. Constantly messing up just to repeat and mess up again. And we have months more of it guaranteed.

More like Asstralia am I right ladies?

Headline saying "Worst final in many, many years" in connection to Melodifestivalen.

Imagine if you actually believed this.

Aftonbladet headline about a huge fire in Glasgow.

Sweden now OBSESSED with Glasgow after my return visit!

I've been in the Arlanda Passport control queue so long I can't remember life before it. I think I live here now.

I was in the same room as Jakob from KAJ last night, yet we never met and got a selfie... THE DOPPELGANGER MYSTERY CONTINUES.

If we both were to meet would only one be allowed to survive???
#melfest

I'm so gleefully happy today.
I'm not trying to brag.
I'm just remembering to celebrate the good moments and share them because honestly I've had the time of my life in Stockholm this weekend for Melodifestivalen.

JUSTICE FOR SWEDISH HOUSE WIVES #melfest

Is the lead singer of Smash into Pieces constipated? #melfest

I've now listened to the UK #Eurovision entry... #indyref2

Linda Bengtzing looking every level of fabulous.

When passport control asks
"what is your reason for travel?"
and I say back
"✨ Melodifestivalen ✨"

Sanna Nielsen with Carola singing behind her.

Not sure what, but I feel this should be a meme.

Not heard it but any song that causes #indyref2 I'm all for.

Haven't heard the UK leak but have no clue what it's like based on posts here. Same people who hype up anything the UK send like it, others are unsure themselves. I like being positive, but sometimes it's ok to say something isn't great. Whatever the song I hope they have a good experience.

I haven't heard the leak but this is EXACTLY what I thought it would be.

Bluesky error message.

When in reality it should be this issue:

Thinking about all the discounted
MAX Burgers I am going to eat:

Does that sentence not contradict itself? 👀
