Eurovision 2024: Estonia's First Rehearsal! - Eurovision News | Music

Next up on the stage of Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is Estonia. 5MIINUST x Puuluup with their song “(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi” are ready for their first rehearsal on the stage of Malmö Arena!

Who is 5MIINUST x Puuluup?

The pairing of 5MIINUST x Puuluup is a wildly eclectic collaboration.The former has been a dominating force in pop music in Estonia over the last 6 years and the latter is an award-winning internationally active zombie-folk (if you were to ask them) duo.

Regardless of the perceived differences between genres, the extremes of both acts’ music blend together seamlessly.

5MIINUST regard themselves as bringing the firepower to the collaboration, with plenty of bass. Puuluup, meanwhile, contribute some extremely rare wooden lyra (Talharpa) melodies with which to offer to the world a totally fresh soundscape.

5MIINUST x Puuluup won Eesti Laul 2024, the Estonian national selection for Eurovision 2024, contributing to the Eurovision history with the longest Eurovision song title.

The Rehearsal

Ready to beat the post-lunch lull? No problem, because Estonia are rehearsing on stage next, and bringing plenty of their trademark energy.

We’ve seen some fun and eclectic collaborations at Eurovision over the years, and this year’s entry from Estonia is no exception – 5MIINUST are a well-known pop/hip hop group in Estonia, and Puuluup describe themselves as ‘a zombie folk duo’.

Note to Eurovision fact fans – this song has the longest single-language title in Eurovision history – (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi, which translates as ‘we (really) don’t know anything about (these) drugs’.

The band all look very stylish in black suits with varying quantities of sleeves. The whole performance is a heady and joyful mix of thumping beats, traditional talharpa melodies and the 5MIINUST x Puuluup aerobic dance routine. We will definitely be recreating this in Euroclub next week.

Also the CUBES are down, lit up with more cube graphics that change colour through the performance to match the LED wall behind. A neon cube extravaganza, and a LOT of fun. Photos coming soon!
