Live Blog

Buongiorno, Europe!

Greetings from Turin, and a warm and sunny Italian welcome to our very first Eurovision 2022 LiveBlog! This is where you’ll be able to catch up on all the latest news, backstage gossip and goings-one from the Pala Olimpico in beautiful Turin.

Heidi will be your host this morning, with an EXCLUSIVE look at today’s first rehearsals. Today is scheduled for all the acts performing in the first half of the first Semi-Final, and we’ll be watching from the Green Room right in front of the stage as each act gets their half-hour rehearsal slot.

So we’ll be able to reveal a little bit about each country’s staging and costumes as it happens, and share some exclusive photos, AND share a link to a must-see 30 second clip of each rehearsal, which this year will be hosted EXCLUSIVELY on TikTok.

Today’s schedule:

🇦🇱 Albania

🇱🇻 Latvia

🇱🇹 Lithuania

🇨🇭 Switzerland

🇸🇮 Slovenia

🇺🇦 Ukraine

🇧🇬 Bulgaria

🇳🇱 Netherlands

Kick off is at 10:00 CEST (or there abouts), so please join us then!
