Eurovision candidates rehearse for the first time in Ahoy | Culture

entertainment">In addition to Lithuania, Slovenia, Russia, Sweden, North Macedonia and Ireland will also come into action on Saturday. Space has also been reserved for Australia, but singer Montaigne will not be there. Due to local corona restrictions, she is not allowed to travel to Europe. She is currently the only absentee from the Eurovision Song Contest.

entertainment">The Utrecht singer Stefania, who plays for Greece, rehearses for the first time on Monday. Jeangu Macrooy, the Dutch entry, will not be due until Thursday. He has already been assured of a place in the final because of Duncan Laurence’s win in 2019 and will therefore have to wait longer. The participants from Italy, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Spain, the so-called ‘Big 5’, will only then come into action.

entertainment">Each country is given twice the time to perfect its act. The first rehearsal lasts thirty minutes and the second twenty. This is followed by so-called dress rehearsals, in which the entire shows are completed.
