Rock, Fantasy and Folk Dancing Promised by YLE

Finnish cello group Apocalyptica has been signed up to provide entertainment during the interval of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest.

While voters around the Eurovision network hammer away at their phones, the group, who modestly call themselves 'one of the most original metal bands in history' will perform a selection of older and new material.The theme for the 2007 contests promises to be very much one based upon fantasy and rock music, following the win in 2006 for Lordi.

The rock group will open the final with a reprise of 'Hard Rock Hallelujah' and another newer song.

The semi-final promises an interval act with performances from what YLE calls 'Finnish front row artists'. A diverse group of performers ranging from singers to circus acts will feature alongside Tsuumi to cobble together something that hardly anyone will watch. YLE reports that the stage show will combine traditional and modern folk dancing.

The final will open with a piece choreographed by and featuring Sirpa Suutari-Jääskö and Jukka Haapalainen. They will enter the stage to the strains of accordion music from Johanna Juhola, who has been breaking new ground in music.
