- 2020 What happened instead
Several countries ran their own votes on the songs that would have competed. Both Sweden's and Australia's were won by the same one: Iceland's "Think About Things", by Daði og Gagnamagnið.
- 2021 The virus arrives anyway
Iceland was less lucky. A member of the band Daði og Gagnamagnið tested positive, and the group could not perform. Their place in the semi-final and the final was taken by a recording of one of their rehearsals. They finished fourth.
