One of the most popular tv shows in Sweden during the summer is SVTs classic tv sing-along show Allsång På Skansen. Many well-known faces from Melodifestivalen will be performing on the show this year, among these we find BWO, Sanna Nielsen and Norway's Maria Haukaas Storeng.
Norway's Eurovision Song Contest entry Hold on be strong is climbing on the Swedish charts. Maria was the Nordic winner in this year's Eurovison Song Contest final, and the producers of SVT's most popular TV-show Allsång På Skansen invited Maria to perform her no. 1 hit in their third show on July 8th. The show is extremely popular, and it is not often a Norwegian artist is invited to perform.
Sanna Nielsen who got the viewers' highest vote in Melodifestivalen 2008 for her Empty room will also perform. BWO that came on third place with Lay your love on me will also be among the performances.
It has been a tradition that the Melodifestivalen winner will be on the show. Last year, The Ark offered a successful performance with The worrying kind. Before, Carola and Lena Philipsson also starredon theSkansen's stage. But this year, the winner will notbe on the show. Charlotte Perrelli will appear on another tv show on SVT, princess Victoria birthday show, and the producers do not want to use the same artist on both shows.
