The latest artist to rehearse is Triana Park from Latvia. We have just watched their first run through of Line live on screen and here is our initial reaction.
Summary in a sentence
They have scaled their Supernova performance to the big stage but as a result some of the atmosphere has been lost, but an energetic closer.
Staging
As seen in Supernova, Triana Park have brought their neon props to Kyiv. The LED backdrops begins with a dynamic black and white pattern. Around halfway through the song, this changes to a neon backdrop and the LED floor does the same. There is a nice camera shot ascending up through the chandelier to finish the performance.
Vocals
Agnese’s vocals are ok, not the best but certainly competent from what we could hear.
Costumes
Agnese was dressed in a black t-shirt with pink leggings and pink hair. The drummer wore a white vest while the guitarists both wore black jackets and jeans. We imagine that this may not be Agnese’s final costume but you never know!
Watch the rehearsal!
That concludes the rehearsals for today! Look out for the latest episode of the XtraVoix podcast which will be uploaded later this evening. Meanwhile, remember to tune in to our live stream from the press centre for instant reactions to each rehearsal.
