In 2004, After Dark participated in Melodifestivalen, the yearly Swedish song festival that selects the Swedish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Their song La dolce vita went straight from its qualifying heat to the final night, and there finished third. The single of the song became a major hit on Swedish radio, and were often played in Swedish day nurseries.. Later that same year, in the autumn, they sat up a new drag show with the same name as the tune in Stockholm's main amusement park, the Gröna Lund.
