The Thursday before is always a long day of rehearsals when the artists, their staging and wardrobe people, dancers and backup singers, the pyro guys, the huge TV production crew, and all the other people involved are polishing the final details for the biggest TV show of the year, the Melodifestivalen Grand Final!
We spent nine hours at Friends Arena following all this fascinating activity, so here are some of our favorite pictures of the artists in rehearsal mode – in the order that they are appearing in the final.
And don’t miss our Guide to the Grand Final!
