Eurovizija.LT 2024: Aistè and Žalvarinis qualify to the final from Heat Two

Lithuania kicked off its new pre-selection Eurovizija.LT last week. We saw a tough fight and the first artists qualified to the final. VB Gang and Silvester Belt, whose entry “Luktelk” is seeing great results on Lithuanian music “tops” videos, will return to fight for the ticket to Malmö on February 17.

The second heat featured 8 hopefuls and saw us say goodbye to 6 acts that were eliminated, while only 2 made it to the final, according to a mutual decision from the jury and the public vote. Those acts going to the final are: singer Aistè and Lithuanian folk-rock group Žalvarinis.

The result was determined by both a jury and the public, who each accounted for 50% of the score. Among the jury members were the current LRT Eurovision broadcast commentator Ramūnas Zilnys, songwriter and composer of Lithuanian entry at Eurovision 2018 – Vytautas Bikus, performer Ieva Narkutė, LRT producer Kristupas Naruškevičius and Lithuania’s Eurovision 2018 singer – Ieva Zasimauskaitė.
