It’s time for our first taste of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025! While the world eagerly awaits tomorrow’s live broadcast, tonight the spotlight shines exclusively for the in-venue audience, accredited press, and the all-important backup juries. Welcome to the Dress Rehearsal for Semi-final 1—where the stage comes alive, the nerves are real, and every note matters.
This is more than just a practice run. Tonight’s performances will be carefully watched by the professional backup juries, whose votes could step in if any technical issues arise during tomorrow’s live show. For the artists, this is their first chance to perform their full acts in front of a live audience—and yes, the pressure is just as high as it will be on the big night.
