Baku Azerbaijan -
The second day of rehearsals has just finished here in Baku and we have a new feature for you including a video blog giving you an overview of the day's events in a more interactive way. We hope you enjoy it!
For the first time we bring you our video blog of the rehearsals that have taken place during the last two days.
Montenegro has the honour of opening the Eurovision Song Contest being the first country out at the first Semi-Final on the 22nd of May. After this we saw rehearsals from 17 more countries and tomorrow we begin with the first rehearsals of the second Semi-Final.
So why not take a look at our exclusive video below where editors Simon Storvik-Green and Victor Escudero give you a quick recap of events so far with some extra commentary and surprises.
We have also conveniently listed all the articles produced so far below and hope you enjoy the content we have produced. Also, remember to stay tuned for the next edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Headlines.
