ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK – JOHN LIUNDVIK

We got the following press release from Warner Music in Sweden.

In March, John was unanimously voted, both by the Swedish people and the international jury, to the winner of the Melodifestivalen with the success song “Too Late For Love”. The performance received maximum points from each jury country, which has never happened before in the history of the Melodifestival. The song was then one on all platforms in Sweden (Spotify, radio, iTunes, Apple Music, Singellisten and Svensktoppen) which is also a record. In Eurovision, John finished in fifth place and gained fans all over Europe. After the grand spring, John went on a victory train country and kingdom around with the Diggiloo gang – a victory train seen by over 140,000 people.

Tonight we see John perform with the new single in Go’kväll on SVT and tomorrow he blesses everyone in the morning couch with his participation in TV4 News Morning. In the fall, John sets out on a Nordic tour with a premiere at Circus October 1.

Tour Dates:

October 1 – Circus, Stockholm

October 11 – Växjö Concert Hall, Växjö
October 13 – On The Rocks, Helsinki

SEMI FINAL TWO 2019 – SWEDEN

Ida Andia now turns her sights onto Sweden in her discussion as to which of the songs in semi final 2 will make it to the Grand final.

Never too late for Sweden. They always send great entries to the Eurovision Song Contest. This year is no exception. I really love the lyrics and the song, Too late for love, even if it is a little repetitive, it is still catchy. It will be interesting how John Lundvik, the co-writer for the 2019’s entry of United Kingdom, representing Sweden, will ”fight” in the Grand Final with this country who is pre-qualified, thanks to being one of the Big Five.

Together they sang a new composition Diva To Diva.

John Lundvik took the top marks from the International Jury and also the Public vote.
