Eurovizija.LT 2024: Silvester Belt and VB Gang qualify to the final from Heat One

Lithuania has finally kicked off its highly anticipated new pre-selection Eurovizija.LT. The first heat featured 8 hopefuls fighting for 2 spots in the final on February 17. The finalists from the first show are VB Gang and Silvester Belt.

The show was presented by Gabrielė Martirosian and Nombeko Augustė Khotseng. While a TikToker Nerijus Trilikauskas hosted interviews with the artists from the green room.

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, LRT Opus director and previous LRT commentator until 2019 Darius Užkuraitis, songwriter and composer of Ieva Zasimauskaitė’s entry at Eurovision ‘When We’re Old’ – Vytautas Bikus, performer Ieva Narkutė and the artist herself who brought ‘Sentimetai’ to Eurovision – Monika Liu.

The show has, as expected, delivered a tough fight between returning artists and some fierce debuting artists.. Among them is Antoine Wend, with whom we recently had the chance to speak about his experience in X Factor Lithuania and opening Barbara Pravi’s concert. Then there’s Silvester Belt who released his entry ‘Luktelk’ receiving great response from the public. And Vidas Bareikis is back. He’s the artist who brought „Pusvalanduko“ and „I love my phone“ to the pre-selection in previous years…but now he’s singing a song featuring the Korean language.

Like in the previous Pabandom iš Naujo, the acts were judged by a panel of musical experts and journalists. They will deliver a total of 50% of the votes. The remaining half will be determined by the public.

If you can follow the show, you can do it by watching the broadcast from 20:00 CET. It was live on LRT’s website, as well as on LRT1 or LRT Lituanica.
