The stage that all fans have been eagerly waiting to see is being revealed little by little.The matrix is up and running, the catwalk is almost ready and 35 tons of cable for the lighting of the show are in place.

As eurovisiondiary kindly explains the Matrix backdrop is all set. There are two openings, one on each side. The artists will be entering from the left one, while the props from the right. The catwalk will be covered with 45 square meters of O'-te which reflects the light.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
