Great idea, appreciate it as the person who edited that post last year... just be aware though that at this year's contest there are Wikimedian photographers too, presumably also with press access. User:Ailura just wrote on the Austrian chapter's list that she's "been at the contest for 11 days and [is] at 11,000 photos" (https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/vereinat-l/2015-May/002040.html ).

That is to say, I would go with the second suggestion in each case, not the one that implies only Wikimedia Sverige got access to the performers.

Hello there,
We had a really great blog post from last year for Eurovision and I think we can repurpose it this year as Eurovision is a major international media event.
Pretty compelling piece as well - good imagery and details how a Wikimedian got almost all access pass to the performing artists.
