Adaam, Miss Snusk and Tomas Ledin are some of the guests on this summer's "Allsång på Skansen". Despite a tough time privately, Pernilla Wahlgren is looking forward to leading the programme again.

Of course, I want to continue in my father's spirit and do this, she says.

After taking the stage with "Stockholm i mitt hjärta", Pernilla Wahlgren presents this year's lineup in SVT's "Allsång på Skansen", during a brief break between rain showers. She hopes that the summer will be playful with many surprises – and the same success as last year, when SVT claims that a "Pernilla effect" brought in more viewers.

I was very moved and extremely grateful last year that it was received so well. It's big shoes to fill, so it felt really cool. I hope it goes just as well this year, she says.

Despite a tough time privately, her father Hans Wahlgren having recently passed away, Pernilla Wahlgren thinks it feels right to lead Allsången.

The best thing he knew was to come and watch his children on stage. He was at the Allsång premiere last summer and was so proud. It's obvious that I want to continue in my father's spirit and do this. He'll be with me up there, I know.

"Fett taggad"

As usual, veterans are mixed with younger artists, and one who debuts this year is hip-hop artist Adaam, who is also one of the few rappers in this year's lineup. He looks out over the stage and states:

I don't know if it's smaller or bigger than I expected, but it doesn't feel exactly like it looks on TV. With the audience, maybe it'll feel the same, he says and adds:

I'm really stoked, it's an honour to be here.

Another making their "Allsång debut" is Miss Snusk, who recently won the TV programme "Masked Singer". The jury's compliments helped against self-criticism, and she's glad to be part of something she's followed since she was little.

It feels really fun when you get more and more into the bigger things.

Will you perform with the mask on, or have you started thinking about taking it off?

We'll see. If you want to know, you'll have to follow my journey. Before "Masked Singer", I was "no" but now I feel like you have to follow and see what happens.

"Nu är det sommar"

Veterans like Orup are also returning, and when Tomas Ledin's name is presented, someone in the audience exclaims "now it's summer!". Ledin has no problem being strongly associated with the season.
