ESCXTRA.com are live for day 1 of rehearsals ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, taking place in Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena!
The countries rehearsing today, in chronological order, are Norway, Malta, Serbia, Latvia, Portugal, Ireland, Croatia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Moldova and Sweden. This was done in the running order of semi-final one, with the exception of Israel, who will be rehearsing on day two.
This year, members of the press will only get to see the dress rehearsals, so our rehearsal reviews will begin on Monday 8 May!
If you want to hear our commentary, you can follow us on TikTok where our team will be reacting to the rehearsal clips as they’re released!
Last year, it was announced that TikTok would be the ‘Official Entertainment Partner’ for the Turin contest. As a result, all first rehearsal clips debuted via Eurovision’s official TikTok account. This arrangement remains in place for 2023.
