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.

Hovi Star reheases onstage next this afternoon, wearing the same outfit as that from the first rehearsal.

The stage starts off in darker colours with stars sparkling in the background, where Hovi is later joined by 3 acrobats; 2 appear together in 1 large hoop whilst the other appears in a smaller hoop on his own. Performing behind Hovi in the lead up to the latest chorus, the acrobats then leave the stage as a pyro-shower falls behind the singer in the last half of the performance. The solo acrobat re-enters the stage at the end, the hoop itself lit.

Check out Israel’s second rehearsal below!

Rehearsals continue this afternoon with Belarus and Serbia before a break takes place.
