Daði og Gagnamagnið were expected to do well at Rotterdam 2020 with their viral hit Think About Things before the Contest was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023, Gagnamagnið frontman Daði Freyr (and his partner and band member Árný) would finally perform live in a Grand Final, delivering a memorable version of Atomic Kitten’s Whole Again as part of the ‘Liverpool Songbook’ interval act.
