Brandsta City Släckers

About

Brandsta City Släckers is a Swedish rock and schlager band from Helsingborg, formed in 1994 by a group of firefighters who perform in uniform. They broke through nationally at Melodifestivalen 2002 with 'Kom och ta mig' and their signature clap routine 'Brandstaklappen', which earned them a place in Melodifestivalen's Hall of Fame in 2020. After a 23-year break from competition, the band returned to Melodifestivalen 2026 with 'Rakt in i elden', reaching the final and finishing fifth.
