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.

The penultimate rehearsal of today comes from Maraaya from Slovenia. Staging is very similar to the performance from EMA. We have Marjetka wearing her iconic headphones along with her white wedding dress, whilst Raay is playing the piano at the other end of the stage. The electro violinist is also present.Unlike other the other countries in this short clip there is no video effects in the background. The lighting however fits perfectly with the rhythm of the song.

Watch Maraaya’s performance in the first rehearsal below.

Hello my name is Daniel Doyle. I am 19 years old and I live in Rushden, United Kingdom. My first Eurovision was in 2004 where I was given permission by my parents to stay up late to watch the contest. Since then I have been a hardcore fan. The first Eurovision I went to was in 2010 and I hope to go to more in the near future.
