At Stockholm Pride 2015, there is a whole summer festival of Music and arts and celebrity Swedish guests each year in July/August. This year’s event just kicked off this very week in Sweden.
The highlight at the Pride Park each year for Stockholm Pride is Thursday evening where they hold a Schlager Eurovision Concert – no less. If you go along to one of these annual Swedish events you can be guaranteed of more than one Eurovision Star live performance both recent, and some Eurovision legends from the past appear. The year we were over there, I saw Nicole from Germany (ESC Winner of 1982) for Schlager Thursday 2015 the line up was as follows:
Linda Bengtzing (Melodifestivalen) Timoteij ( Melodifestivalen) Rickard Soderberg (Melodifestivalen) Andres Esteche. Then that Eurovision history-book was opened with Anne Marie David, Maggie MacNeal (Mouth & MacNeal) Bucks Fizz (Mike Jay & Cheryl) & Penny McLean (Silver Convention-Germany 1977) Maggie sang the Netherlands ‘I see a star’ entry from back in 1974 when Mouth & MacNeal finished 3rd. As well as her own song ‘Amsterdam’ Netherlands entry of 1980 that finished in 5th Place. Well I just wish I was there…
Plus fresh from Melodifestivalen 2015 stars – Dinah Nah, Molly Peterson & Midnight Boy performed . Then top of the bill just had to be, the Prince of Eurovision Mans Zelmerlow himself, what a line-up (almost Eurovision’s Greatest Hits Vol 2)
Check out and enjoy, this wonderful full performance of Mans Zelmerlow live Pride 2015 here:
