After the 2020 edition was canceled due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, Daði & Gagnamagnið were confirmed to be returning for 2021, with the new song "10 Years". They were unfortunately unable to perform live after Jóhann Sigurður tested positive for COVID-19 just before the semi-final they were set to compete in. Nevertheless, a rehearsal recording was used instead and they managed to qualify for the grand finale, placing a respectable fourth.

Added DiffLines:

* BizarreInstrument: The (fake) ones wielded by Árný Fjóla, Stefán and Jóhann Sigurður. Usually they look like crosses between keytars and saxophones (sparkles may be included). For their Eurovision performance, each of them wielded a crescent-shaped keytar that could spin on its axis and join with the other two to become a circular piano.


Added DiffLines:

* PregnantBadass: Árný became the latest in a line of pregnant Eurovision performers when she went on stage carrying hers and Dadi's second child.


Added DiffLines:

* StylisticSuck: Gagnamagnið's trademark aesthetic, deliberately appearing amateurish with mint-green coordinated sweaters and dorky dance moves. The video for "10 Years" includes a "giant" monster ravaging obvious cardboard buildings.


Added DiffLines:

* TrueCompanions: At the core, Gagnamagnið is a close group of friends and relatives who are there to have fun. Case in point: during Eurovision 2021, after Jóhann Sigurður tested positive for COVID-19, the rest of the group was given the option of performing live without him. They refused to do so, however, stating that the performance was always intended as a sextet (so a recording of a rehearsal performance was used instead).

* AirGuitar: Of the "substitute" variant. The members of Gagnamagnið who don't sing (Árný Fjóla, Stefán and Jóhann Sigurður) aren't actually playing music, and their fancy instruments are just for show.



* LyricsVideoMismatch: "10 Years" is a sweet love song directed towards his wife Árný Fjóla and how they're still going strong after the titular time period. The video has Gagnamagnið as a ''Franchise/PowerRangers''-esque team fighting a giant monster that is ravaging Iceland. Dadi and Arny have revealed that, aside from being in their superhero outfits in the music video, like their other members, they are also dressed up as some of the monsters in Masked Singer-Esque style.

** "10 Years" is in turn one to "Think About Things", about the next big moment in Árný and Daði's marriage: their tenth anniversary. Case in point, the "10 Years" single cover has Árný's stylized face on it just like "Think About Things" had Daði's.

Daði Freyr Pétursson, known professionally as '''Daði Freyr''' or '''[[OnlyOneName Daði]]''' (born 30 June 1992), is an Icelandic musician.

Daði is best known for his involvement in the Series/EurovisionSongContest. He was initially chosen to perform at the 2020 edition with the song "Think About Things", alongside his band Gagnamagnið[[note]](Icelandic: "Data plan")[[/note]]. The song quickly became a viral hit, with celebrities like Creator/RussellCrowe sharing it ahead of them winning Söngvakeppnin, Iceland's national selection. They'd previously competed to represent Iceland at Eurovision in 2017 with the song "Is This Love?", which finished second to Svala's "Paper".

After the 2020 edition was canceled due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, Daði & Gagnamagnið were confirmed to be returning (with a new song) for 2021.
