Eurovision flash mob mania to hit Oslo and Düsseldorf

Peter Svaar, Head of Press for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of host broadcaster NRK, said: "We want to share the Eurovision Song Contest, rather than just broadcast it. With 18,000 people live on location in Oslo dancing, plus video footage of large flash mob groups from ten major cities, the song, the movements, the arena, and all the cities will share a common musical experience together."

Earlier, flash mob recordings took place in Barcelona and Reykjavik.

Today at 17:30 local time, NRK will hold testshoots for their European tour at Oslo's city hall square, the Rådhusplassen. If you're planning to join, subscribe to the event on Facebook or simply join by surprise! If you're joining, know your moves and check out the instruction videos below:
