The annual Musikhjälpen telethon ‘rolled’ into Gothenburg last week, and saw a veritable cacophony of Scandipopstars generously rock up to the glass box studio, sing a song or two, and donate a prize in an effort to get the Swedish public to pledge some cash to the good cause. It worked. In the end, the charity raised exactly 28,426,046 SEK, which is quite ph’nom. Musikhjälpen – literally music helping out.
That aforementioned cacophony of Scandipopstars featured a majority of which we have scribed about on these very pages before – so many of you will be familiar with them. And in the aftermath, we’ve gathered up all of the performance highlights into one handy post. Which is this one, funnily enough. A momentous 31 performances from artists as diverse as;
Agnes, Loreen, The Fooo, Anton Ewald, Petra Marklund, Sarah Dawn Finer (who also co-hosted the week long event), Måns Zelmerlöw, Kevin Walker, Oscar Zia, Nicole Sabouné, Linnea Henriksson, Laleh, Veronica Maggio, Miriam Bryant, Syster Sol, Ida Redig, and Marlene.
