Daði og Gagnamagnið - Documentary - Iceland Eurovision 2021 EP2 (English subtitles)

This is part two of two-part documentary about Daði & Gangamagnið.
Daði Freyr Pétursson and his bandmates in Gagnamagnið are going to represent Iceland at the Eurovision Song Contest this year. The adventure started when they tried out for the competition in 2017, finishing as runners up, before being chosen with the song Think About Things last year, only for Eurovision to be cancelled. The song was a front-runner for victory and was major hit nevertheless. This two-part documentary takes a closer look at the group's story so far and their preparations for Rotterdam this May.

Feeling kinda bad watching how hard they worked and didnt get to perform... theyre the winners of my heart at least!

[@nikkifennel]

Now we need a part 3: adventures at Rotterdam, the Covid positive, almost winning...

[@emiendo3128]

WE NEED PART 3!

[@The_Absurdistt]

Yes, part 3 please!

[@naomic4049]

It’s amazing how hard they have worked on this... they already won my heart and respect.

@@tobstobs950 kinda hope they do qualify just so you can eat your words. And it seems no different than any other eurovisin trainwreck.

[@Lean-zj1nl]

It is fascinating to me how the band's members are committed to other stuff other than music.. they are also "people", they aren't trying to be super fabulous and well known artists, they are fabulous themselves!

[@MewWolf5]

Everyone in Gangamagnið seems so nice! I already loved them, but all this confirmation of how nice everyone is just makes me want them to win even more than I already wanted them to win!

[@Automalice]

They deserve another chance at Eurovision. They’ve had such awful luck

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

Yeah but Daði doesn't want to do it anymore. He has to focus on other projects. He is not just an EV musician. But who knows maybe after a few years.

[@Automalice]

@@abrielrobertsson4160 hadn't thought about it that way!!! i'm grateful that EV introduced me to his music anyway! he's sold out my local venue in the UK. good for him!

[@sa21de]

I wish so too, but I think he's going on a worldwide tour next year which is fantastic of course

[@Cheesenibbler3000]

You’ll never believe it

[@klimtkahlo]

Why are we not all speaking this language??? This is so nice!!! Also I think you should have won 2020 & 2021! Love from Portugal! 🇵🇹

[@Winterbay]

Now I'm sad we're not getting a 20 minute long song with ambient sound and a math problem 😂

[@eurodara]

Daði needs to make a set like this one day

[@JorisPauws]

I find it amazing how 3 of the members are still studying, 1 is a teacher and 2 are farmers Yet they stand on a podium that is broadcasted to about 200 million people

[@takk78]

I really want them to win this year!! Fingers crossed. I'll vote from Greece.

[@elacha2587]

I will vote from UK. In my opinion they really did win last year

[@StopaGDA]

I will vote from Germany. Best song!

[@melekatabey3085]

I love their music, their concept. I 'm literally in love with this family band, Thank you Iceland for choosing them. Love from Turkey

[@lisabuckner243]

The strange thing is, Dadi already has older albums out that are bangers, Naesta skref, skipptur ekki Mali, Entertaga mig, sorry bout the spelling... But I could keep going!!! ❤️

[@owclips3382]

skipptur ekki Mali is the song of Gods. Hooked instantly. Kept me in. Fucking jam

[@BobPapadopoulos]

What is strange about that? The vast majority of people in Eurovision are already musicians. You don't think they're just going Father Ted and sending random people to this international competition, correct?

[@cathjollphotography]

These guys deserve to win Eurovision this year. They have worked really hard and have the best song in the entire competition, in my opinion. I will certainly be voting for them. Good luck x

[@gretukz]

Wow, people are just really awesome in Iceland.

[@fredlark9048]

Those guys collectively have filled my heart with Joy and love for them.

[@elsajohansson5316]

I love how all of them are so positive and also humble 🤍 they are my winners for sure!

What a bunch of characters hahaha, I love them. They are probably so much fun to hangout with. And their music is catchy!

[@darkcape2594]

It's astounding how sincere and down-to-earth they all are. I think this shows in the songs as well: they're just so naive, simple and pure and give so much joy.

[@nataliashhh]

[@sarahpengelly8439]

Dadi appeared on my feed a few weeks back. Not surprising because I love Icelandic music. Then I realised the connection with Eurovision. No not an avid fan at all though warming to it now.. I'm impressed with his music & his humility so getting excited now. Even better, I live in the Netherlands & Rotterdam is just twenty minutes away :)

[@christiaz]

Hope you will do a part 3, so we can follow you the last weeks and days before the semi final and the big final. And of course the finals and the rehearsals and your trip to Rotterdam :)
