Eurovision is back! Delegations have landed/arrived in Vienna these last few days and rehearsals started last weekend. Just like last year, for the first rehearsal, the EBU releases information on the day of each rehearsal, with a sets of three photographs published the day after. As such, today, we cover yesterday’s rehearsals, with the last semi-finalists. The last one on stage, closer of the semi-final, was Norway’s “Ya Ya Ya”.

- No props this time, it’s only Jonas and his band, performing with an attitude and staging close to what we saw in Melodi Grand Prix
- The performance ends in pyros and flames
As a reminder, this was the MGP performance:
Here’s the small message Jonas had for the Eurovision fans after his rehearsal:
And that’s it for the first rehearsals of the semi-finalists! But stay tuned for further coverage today and tomorrow, with the second rehearsals of most of the first semi-finalists, and for our live coverage on the ground starting on May 9, which will include (among other things) the full dress rehearsals and the live shows, live from Vienna
