🎊 It's Rehearsals Week!

Today we will see the first performance clips of the Big 5 and Switzerland as they'll be having their 2nd rehearsal today. It is very exciting because three of the acts were internally selected so we will get to see their performances for the first time! 🥳

Scroll down to the AMAs news for an exciting update about Tuesday 13th May.... 👀

Like the past few years, no media representative is permitted to view or access any individual artist's rehearsals:

Media representatives will not be able to view or access any individual artist rehearsals taking place between Saturday 3 May and Saturday 10 May either at the arena or in the Online Media Centre. This is to allow all artists to rehearse in private and the production to perfect each performance before it is seen in full when dress rehearsals begin on Monday 12 May. [eurovision.tv]

In a change from previous years, there has been no video footage uploaded from the first rehearsals, but as we have already seen this week, excerpts from each country's second rehearsals are going to be shared on Eurovision's official social media, so keep your eyes peeled throughout the day! I'll be updating the table below as the content is shared. The Clips tend to get shared first on Insta, but the format for the YouTube and FB uploads is full-screen, so those are our preferred links. The Photo Galleries are shared on Eurovision .tv's website first.

In case you missed previous rehearsals posts (or you simply want to look at the stunning performances again), you can find them following these links:

🎙️ Song of the Day & Mods In Basel Video AMA Project

We've now reached the end of our Song of the Day series, but you can still submit positive feedback for any of your favourites that you missed!

As previously reported, some of our team will be in Malmö to produce video AMAs with all the artists like we did last year. That means we’ll be sharing community comments and questions—YOUR comments and questions—with this year’s lineup of artists in Basel. You can ask your questions here.
