We are so happy to be part of the Melodifestivalen again this year! 'Unforgettable' is made with the same dream team as 'Air'. Getting to perform with 'Air' last year was an absolutely incredible experience even though we unfortunately didn't go all the way. This year we are back for revenge with 'Unforgettable', and we will put on an incredible show!
