The first set of semi-final rehearsals have been completed, now it’s time to move on to the second rehearsals of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest! Artists from the first semi-final are back in the Lisbon arena once again, ready for their second set of rehearsals.

It’s day 5 of rehearsals at the Altice Arena in the Eurovision 2018 host city of Lisbon, with the second rehearsals for the semi-finalists set to kick off today! In total, 15 artists will take to the stage for their second rehearsal, with some potential changes expected to be made over from their first rehearsals.

All of today’s performers are from semi-final 1; from Azerbaijan through to Finland, it will be a packed day of rehearsals for the semi-final 1 participants today, with second rehearsals continuing tomorrow.
