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.

IVAN from Belarus was next to take to the stage this afternoon, wearing the same outfit as that from the first rehearsal.

A strong use of holograms are used throughout the Belarusian performance, featuring wolves, musicians and even IVAN… naked. IVAN’s choreography works together with the holograms as well as the LED screen in the background, working in time with IVAN’s hand movements. A wolf also appears on the backing LED screen throughout the country’s performance.

Check out Belarus’ second rehearsal below!

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