/0 Comments/in , /by

Lithuanian broadcaster LRT has announced that the Grand Final of Eurovizija.LT, the national selection for the country’s Eurovision 2025 representative, will take place at the Žalgiris Arena in Kaunas.

This marks a significant development, as the final returns to Lithuania’s largest event venue. The Žalgiris Arena, which is also the biggest in the Baltic region, can host up to 20,000 spectators and spans nearly 40,000 square meters.

The selection process will begin in January, featuring four to five qualifying rounds, all of which will be held at the LRT Studios in Vilnius. In the Grand Final, the winner will be determined solely by public televoting.

The exact number of entries competing for the chance to represent Lithuania at Eurovision 2025 has not yet been confirmed, but the registration process is nearing its conclusion. Artists have until December 20 to withdraw their participation if they choose to do so.

Last year, Lithuania was represented by Silvester Belt with the song “Luktelk”, which finished 14th at Eurovision 2024, earning 90 points. The highest scores from the public came from the United Kingdom and Latvia, both awarding 8 points.

Eurovision 2024: Lithuania’s First Rehearsal!

The third act to perform on the Eurovision stage today is the talented Silvester Belt from Lithuania, with his song ”Luktelk”!

Who is Silvester Belt?

Music has been an integral part of Silvester’s life since he was a child.

His songs are inspired by personal life experiences, particularly his memories of exploring his sexuality in a homophobic environment and how the repression of those feelings deeply affected him.

“Luktelk” (translation: “wait”/”hold on”) is about being stuck in a gap between two stages, in barely existing and feeling alive when you have to hold on and dance through what life throws at you.

Silvester also participated in the Vaikų Eurovizijos Nacionalinė Atranka – Lithuania’s qualifying competition for Junior Eurovision in 2010.

The Rehearsal

The staging for this needs no props – similar to the Lithuanian national finals, EUROVIZIJA.LT – it’s Silvester in his red leather suit, backed by four male dancers with masked faces and lots of red and back strobe lighting. The masks have had an upgrade – less like turtlenecks and more like black hoods. No pyro for Lithuania but according to our exclusive information a new dancebreak has been added to the song!

The second rehearsal of Lithuania will take place on Wednesday May 1st, when we will have a better picture of what we will see from Silvester Belt on the Eurovision stage, as we will have the official TV snippet.

Below you can watch a small clip from Lithuania’s first rehearsal from TikTok:
