SMASK Gothenburg 2021 (public dress rehearsal)
Culture and languages
The Swedish Music Academies' Song Contest (SMASK) is an annual pop music competition arranged by students of Sweden's six music colleges. The competition is a funny and tender parody of Melodifestivalen, Sweden's precursor to the Eurovision Song Contest, but the major difference is that SMASK still has a live orchestra. This is the local semifinal at the Academy of Music and Drama, where two contestants will be voted on to the big national final.
