Rehearsals are now well and truly underway in the city of Tel Aviv, which will be hosting this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Today sees the first day of rehearsals, with the first half of the first semi-final evening taking to the impressive stage of Expo Tel Aviv.

Eight countries are all set to make their debut onstage, 9 days before the live show of the first semi-final. Following their rehearsal, a Meet & Greet session will be coming next. These countries are Belgium, Georgia, Australia, Iceland, Estonia, Portugal, Greece and San Marino.

Time for the Baltic state of Estonia to rehearse. The country is being represented by the Swedish singer Victor Crone, who is all set to bring a Storm onstage!

Similar to his winning Eesti Laul performance, Victor wears black trousers, a white shirt and a black leather jacket. The shirt has the top few buttons undone, revealing a silver necklace, and giving Victor a relaxed look.
