The first rehearsals on TikTok

TikTok has announced that it will be the official entertainment partner for this year’s Eurovision for the second consecutive year. As last year, this year the organizers and the EBU have decided that the first rehearsals will not be available to accredited journalists. Instead and exclusively, we will get the first taste of these rehearsals from the related videos that will be available on TikTok.

The second rehearsals start on Wednesday May 3rd and the videos will be posted every evening after each rehearsal.

“Tea” with Timur

Apart, from the first rehearsals, on TikTok, we will watch some “tea” with the Ukrainian presenter Timur Miroshnychenko. Timur will meet each artist individually right after their second rehearsals. The presenter will challenge the contestants to spill some of their gossip from their experience in Liverpool. In addition, the members of the Big Five who have not been drawn – more specifically France, Germany, Italy and Spain – will have the opportunity to day which half of the Running Order they will appear in the Grand Final on 13th of May.
