Eurovision 2019 Day 3 first rehearsals

Time for the second semi-finalists to take to the stage! We’ve already seen the acts from the first semi-final have their first rehearsals. Now, nine of the acts from the second semi-final will rehearse at Eurovision 2019.

With two of the big favourites to win — Switzerland’s Luca Hänni and Sweden’s John Lundvik — rehearsing today, we could see some real changes in the odds. But could another act today spring a surprise and rise to the top? Make sure you’re tuning in to find out.

You can also catch some of our reactions to the songs LIVE through the wiwibloggs livestream. This year, we’ll be covering the first rehearsals across three livestreams each day. All times are given in Israeli local time (CET +1, GMT +2) and subject to change:

Today, it’s probably between Sweden and Switzerland to impress and lead the poll. Personally, I’d like Romania to do well.
