The team at ESCToday.com have arrived in the host city of Vienna, ready to bring you the latest news live from the Eurovision scene. First rehearsals continue today for the second semi-final of the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest and we’re ready to bring you the latest updates on location live from the Wiener Stadthalle.

The final country to rehearse today is Poland. On stage with Monika are 3 backing singers dressed in white and husband Kuba Raczyński who is playing the piano. Looking at this clip, the staging is very simple and there is no major lighting effects being used. The video background is again another set of trees but with purple silk flying in front. Vocally, all the performers sound good.

Here is a short clip of Poland’s first rehearsal.

How did Monika go down with press? Watch below to find out their opinions.

Hello my name is Daniel Doyle. I am 19 years old and I live in Rushden, United Kingdom. My first Eurovision was in 2004 where I was given permission by my parents to stay up late to watch the contest. Since then I have been a hardcore fan. The first Eurovision I went to was in 2010 and I hope to go to more in the near future.
