Rehearsals are now well and truly underway in the city of Tel Aviv, which will be hosting this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Today sees the fourth day of rehearsals, with the second half of the second semi-final evening taking to the impressive stage of Expo Tel Aviv.

Nine countries are all set to make their debut onstage, 9 days before their live performance at the second semi-final. Following their rehearsal, a Meet & Greet session will be coming next. These countries are Croatia, Malta, Lithuania, Russia, Albania, Norway, The Netherlands, North Macedonia and Azerbaijan.

The day starts with Croatia’s first rehearsal, with Roko ready to live The dream on-stage. Will he be among the 10 qualifiers of the second semi-final on 16 May?

Roko is all in white, as in previous performances of his Eurovision entry. He wears tight white jeans, a white t-shirt and a white leather jacket. Later in his performance, he “earns” a huge pair of golden feathered wings. He is flanked by two shirtless male dancers, who also wear white jeans a large golden wings.
