Hosting the event are Gabrielė Martirosian and Nombeko Augustė. Martirosian, a familiar face in the Eurovision community, has hosted the Lithuanian national selection in 2017, 2019, and 2020. Augustė, who competed as an artist in 2020, returns for her second consecutive year as a host.

The running order for Semi-Final 1 is as follows:

  1. Živilė Gedvilaitė – “Save Me“
  2. Antoine Wend – “Say No More“
  3. Marius Petrauskas – “Kol Laiko Yra”

  5. Aistay – “You”
  6. VB gang – “KABOOM!!!”
  7. Luka – “Move On“
  8. Clockwork Creep – “Empty“

Lithuania is eager to build on its recent Eurovision success, recalling Monika Linkytė’s performance last year in Liverpool with her song “Stay”. She secured 11th place in the final, scoring a total of 127 points.

For Eurovizija.LT 2024, each artist advancing from a Semi-Final will receive a 1,500-euro budget for their song’s staging. The selection process is set to have 5 semi-finals and a grand final. In each semi-final, 8 artists will compete, with 2 qualifying for the final. The first semi-final is scheduled for Saturday, January 13, 2024, while the grand final will take place on February 17, 2024. Unique to this year’s final is the inclusion of a “Super-Final” round during the Grand Final where the top 3 artists will continue on to compete for the chance to represent Lithuania at Eurovision, which will be determined solely by public vote.

It’s also important to note that the semi-finals are pre-recorded each week and not broadcast live. In case of a tie during the voting, the jury’s decision will prevail. The dates for the five semi-finals are January 13, 20, 27, and February 3 and 10.

With the first semi-final airing on January 13 at 20:00 CET, Lithuania’s Eurovision aspirations for 2024 are set in motion, capturing the excitement and anticipation of Eurovision fans across the nation and beyond.
