The team at ESCToday.com have arrived in the host city of Vienna, ready to bring you the latest news live from the Eurovision scene. First rehearsals continue today for the second semi-final of the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest and we’re ready to bring you the latest updates on location live from the Wiener Stadthalle.
After today’s break the next artist to take to the stage for their first rehearsal was Måns Zelmerlöw from Sweden. As we already knew the stick man has been changed. The reasons for the change was due to a copyright claim and similarities to a work by a dandypunk. Another noticeable difference is that the wall that Måns sits on is now black, not grey. This was done to make the appearance of the performance more crisp.
With to regards of lighting, red and black are the dominant colours in the performance. The graphics of Måns face that also made an appearance at Melodifestivalen is also seen on stage here.
You can watch Måns first rehearsal in the clip below.
