Each act showcases a unique blend of cultural influences, musical styles, and artistic presentation, setting a vibrant stage for competition.
In a twist that contrasts Sweden's usual glamorous showcases, a Finnish comedy trio aims for the Eurovision crown with their quirky sauna ode, "Bara Bada Bastu."
