Today sees the second rehearsals of the automatic qualifiers to Saturday’s grand final; the Big 5 and Sweden. We here at ESCToday are ready to bring you the latest news live from the arena itself.

Frans is first onstage today for his second rehearsal at the Globe Arena.

Frans performs onstage alone throughout the entire performance, wearing a casual and simplistic outfit as with previous performances. Like with his Melodifestivalen performance, Frans sings in front of a screen featuring starry-like lights. Throughout the song, the lights spell out certain words from the lyrics such as “dance” and “stop”. Blue strobe lights move around the stage at parts of the performance.

Check out Sweden’s second rehearsal below!
