Get ready Eurovision fans, because Marcus and Martinus are about to take the stage by storm! These talented identical twins, born in 2002, are representing Sweden this year with their catchy dance-pop track, "Unforgettable". But it's not just any Eurovision for the boys, as they have the added pressure of representing the host country as well as celebrating the 50th anniversary of Abba's iconic win for Sweden in 1974.
In an interview with The Agency, the Norwegian duo shared their excitement and nerves about taking on this huge responsibility. At just 22 years old, they already have over a decade of experience in the music industry with three albums under their belt and even a win on the Swedish version of "The Masked Singer" in 2022. They were so close to representing Sweden in 2023, but ultimately came in second to Loreen. However, they didn't let that discourage them and now they finally have their chance to shine on the Eurovision stage.
But with great opportunity comes great pressure, especially as the boys are not even from Sweden. They explained that while they have been treated the same by others, there is still an added pressure to represent a country with such a strong legacy in Eurovision. However, Marcus and Martinus are determined to make Sweden proud and have promised to kick off the competition with a high-energy performance that will get everyone dancing and having a good time.
Despite not being Swedish, the boys have already formed a strong bond with their fellow Eurovision contestants, including Finland's Windows95man and the UK's Olly Alexander. They even revealed that they haven't had the chance to meet the legendary members of Abba yet, but they did speak to Loreen and have nothing but positive things to say about her.
With their immense success, Marcus and Martinus have been compared to another famous boyband, One Direction. While they are honored by the comparison, they want to stay true to themselves and not try to be anyone else. They also shared some crazy fan moments, like being mobbed by hundreds of girls at the airport in Finland, but they appreciate and love their fans for their unwavering support.
But their Eurovision journey is just the beginning for Marcus and Martinus. They have new music in the works, a summer full of festival performances, and a European tour coming up. But first, they are focused on representing Sweden to the best of their abilities and making this a year to remember. So make sure to tune in to the first semi-final tonight and cheer on these talented twins! And don't forget to follow our WhatsApp party for all the latest updates and behind-the-scenes gossip.
