TUESDAY 2 MAY REHEARSALS – AUSTRALIA

Closing out the second Semi-Final  rehearsals will be our final band of the day. It is the Australian synth-metal rockers Voyager singing their track Promise. The band has been together since 1999 and have toured the world many times over, so they’re no strangers to a big stage. Continue reading TUESDAY 2 MAY REHEARSALS – AUSTRALIA →

TUESDAY 2 MAY REHEARSALS – LITHUANIA

Next up is Lithuania’s Monika Linkytė to rehearse. She is bringing her soaring pop ballad Stay to the Eurovision stage. Eurovision.tv reminds us not to be mistaken for Monika Liu, who represented Lithuania last year.  This isn’t Monika’s first time at Eurovision – she was part of a duo with Vaidas Baumila in 2015, performing their song This Time. Remember the one with all the kissing in the middle?

Following in the footsteps of LPS last year, Joker Out are one of Slovenia’s most successful acts of recent years. Their song title Carpe Diem represents the only Latin in this year’s competition, and presumably it’s Joker Out’s intention to seize every day between now and next week’s Semi-Final.
