ESC 2016: STOCKHOLM TAKES FANS TO THE HEIGHTS

Fans are able to really get high in Stockholm 2016 Eurovision. A 81 meter high viewing tower (just 3 meters shy of Globen's 84 meters) aka City Skyliner will be erected in the middle of the Eurovision Village in Kungträdsgården. Up there you will have a stunning view to the city center and over Gamla Stan to Globen and beyond. Up to 60 persons can take it at time and for the modest cost of 100 kroner. The Village itself is free and open to everyone. Nearby will be the Euro Fan Café. It will have two floors and three separate spaces with four bars, including an open terrace. Right attached to it is EuroClub, that is twice the size of that in Malmö, now housing 3000 fans, delegates and journalists. Shirley Clamp and  Velvet will be hosting the EuroClub. 

ESC 2016 STOCKHOLM: KEEP IT TOGETHER, DANCING QUEENS

SVT and Stockholm have revealed their plans for the Eurovision song contest 2016 in May. As we know the event itself will be in Globen area, the Globen itself being the venue and the other venues included in the complex hosting the press center, delegation area and all that. And there's the rumor Tele2 arena within the Globen City will be used somehow as well..... The other interesting stuff happens some 3 kms up north, just across Södermalm island and Gamla stan. That's 4-6 metro stops or a nice walk. Möt mig i Gamla stan as someone would say....  The Opening ceremony will take place in Stockholm's city hall. Opened in 1923 it also hosts every December 10 the Nobel Prize banquet. The tower that rises up to 106 meters is one of the city's landmarks. About one kilometer away to west lies the Royal Palace and right next to it at water front the EuroClub will be built. After all, isn't it there where Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Annifrid live in?! Get ready for so...
