One week in — one week to go. Today marks the halfway point of Eurovision 2019, as the second group of semi-final two acts have their second rehearsals. With four of the top six acts in the odds rehearsing again, will there be big changes?
Starting with Croatia and moving all the way through to Azerbaijan, it’s one of the shorter days we’ll see in terms of rehearsals. But as ever, we’ll be on hand to cover each detail.
See the full running order of all the second rehearsals and press conferences below!

Whose second rehearsal are you most excited for today? Do you think the odds will change once more? Let us know all of your thoughts in the comments down below!
I’m getting the impression that there are just too many demands being made on the local production team. Why have acts come with such complicated needs? A simpler approach is required in the future.
Pure emotion and focus from North Macedonia’s Tamara
I love Azerbaijan but the chorus is an absolute copy of Disclosure’s song from a few years ago called January. Seriously it’s pretty much identical!!
I’m praying to the seven gods that Albania will fix their staging today :'( :'( :'(
I expect Roko again to be the best ,as after 1st rehearsal and that everybody to be thrill with his performance ! Go Roko,go Croatia !
Go Roko and Michela!
Michela is the only top girl in this sausage fest. GO MALTA <3
What’s the female equivalent of sausage?
pizza gate
Excuse me? Kate Miller-Heidke is the only top girl with her voice! 😀
Australia is in the first semi.
For,za .Malta you are the best
Go for it Michela!! Eager to see the performance!
I would definitely vote for Malta. Wiwibloggs have published photos on their instagram, #iloveit. And the dancers are so cool.
