Lithuania has already selected half of the finalists for Eurovizija.LT 2024. But there’s still more spaces available, and this week the country continued its pre-selection with Heat Four of the competition.

Only two of the eight new hopefuls could qualify for the grand final on February 17 in Švyturio Arena, Klaipėda. In the end, these were Il Senso and Monika Marija.

The show, as per usual, was presented by Gabrielė Martirosian and Nombeko Augustė Khotseng. TikToker Nerijus Trilikauskas interviewed artists after their performances.

Heat Four offers a list of quite familiar names to Eurovision fans who have been following Lithuania’s pre-selections for a few years. Monika Marija is set to make her return after previously finishing second, third, and fourth on three different Lithuanian pre-selections. Vilija is making another return to the LRT studio after she represented Lithuania at Eurovision back in 2014, with her self-penned song “Attention“. Operatic group Il Senso are back too — they qualified through the heats and semi-final of Pabadom iš Naujo 2023 and finished 10th in the final.
