Following a short pause for the Israeli Rememberance Day yesterday, we are now back at the Expo Tel Aviv, as the second rehearsals for the 35 countries competing at the two semi-finals have now well kicked-off! Today sees the first 15 acts of the first semi-final again on-stage, ready to perfect their upcoming performances!

Opposite to the first bunch of technical rehearsals, where all delegations have a 30-minute stage session, this time is now shortened to 20 minutes. Afterwards, each country’s delegates will be attending their staging, vocals and lightning in the viewing room and any necessary changes will be requested. Besides their second rehearsals, all delegations will be giving a 20-minute press conference to the accredited press at the arena.

The rehearsals’ schedule follows the announced running order of the semi-final evening. Thus, the first three countries to take to the stage today are Cyprus, Montenegro and Finland. ESCToday will be bringing you exclusive footage from the hosting venue of Eurovision 2019.

Darude feat. Sebastian Rejman – Look away

The world-renowned disc jockey and performer Darude is all set to try his luck at Eurovision with his native country Finland, joined by his close friend and colleague Sebastian Rejman.

Can Darude leave behind the recent poor placings?
