It’s now time for the rehearsals of semi-final 2 to take place this afternoon, where the 18 participants will take to the stage at the Globe Arena for a second time! We here at ESCToday are ready to bring you the latest news live from the arena itself.

Justs is the first artist from semi-final 2 to rehearse on the Eurovision stage this afternoon, wearing a black shirt, jeans and a leather jacket.

The stage starts off with a darker feel to the stage, before lighting up in white towards the first chorus of the song and changing to blue in the latter part of the performance. White and blue lights flash throughout at different parts of the show and triangular shapes appear on the backing LED screens. Justs performs onstage alone.

Rehearsals continue this afternoon with Poland, Switzerland, Israel, Belarus and Serbia before a break takes place.
