It is Thursday and two days to go until Melodifestivalen 2017 in Stockholm when we will find out who will fly the blue and yellow flag for Sweden in Kiev in May. Richard and I are here to follow the rehearsals and you can follow our live blog on that all day here.

Before rehearsals started there was a meet and greet in the Arena where Christer Bjorkman introduced each artist onto the stage before we had a group photo opportunity.  This was then followed by a speed interview opportunity with each artist. You can see some suitable photos taken from this session in this article.
