Latvia: Tonight the semi-final of Supernova 2024!

Another country, which starts its Eurovision “journey” to nominate its representative for Eurovision 2024, is Latvia tonight. Supernova begins and in a few hours from now we will find out the ten artists who will qualify for the final of the Latvian national selection next Saturday.

Semi-final

Fifteen artists will perform on the Supernova 2024 stage tonight, aiming to qualify for next week’s grand final, which will bring them one step closer to representing the Baltic country in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. The artists competing tonight are:

1. Agnese Rakovska – “AI”
2. Patrīcija Spale – “Heaven’s Raining Down on Me”
3. B/H – “Amsterdam”
4. Alekss Silvers – “For the Show”
5. Jar of kings – “Wildfire”
6. St Levića – “Tick Tock”
7. Sasha Sil – “Love is a Language”
8. Papīra Lidmašīnas – “Mind Breaker”
9. Avéi – “Mine”
10. Ecto – “Outsider”
11. Dons – “Hollow”
12. Katrīna Gupalo – “The Cat’s Song”
13. Funkinbiz – “Na Chystu Vodu”
14. Vēstulēs – “Kur?”
15. Edvards Strazdiņš – “Rock n’ Roll Supernova”

Among the 15 artists we see well-known names such as Latvia’s biggest pop star Dons who will participate for the third time in Supernova and Agnese Rakovska who represented her country in 2017 with the band Triana Park. Other artists who have participated in previous Supernova are Alekss Silvers, Avéi and Katrīna Gupalo.

The ten finalists will be decided by a combination of the Latvian viewers‘ vote and the vote of the jury appointed by the Latvian Public Broadcaster. Subsequently, the same procedure will be followed next Saturday to determine the grand winner of Supernova 2024 and, at the same time, Latvia‘s representative in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest.

The show

For the third consecutive year, Supernova will be hosted by the duo of Ketija Šēnberga and Lauris Reiniks. Ketija, an experienced presenter, will take on this role for the seventh time (previously in 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023). Lauris, who represented Latvia in the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest as a member of F.L.Y. (Hello From Mars), will return as host for the third time (previously in 2022 and 2023).

The semi-final of Supernova 2024 starts at 20:10 CET and can be watched through the first channel of Latvian public broadcaster, by clicking HERE.

Until we find out the Latvian representative at Eurovision 2024, let’s remember Sudden Lights who represented Latvia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with their song “Aija” and finished 11th in the semi-final.
