The schedule of Saturday, 17th of May

17 May 2008 at 04:32 CEST

Today, the second half of the participants competing in the second Semi-Final will head for the Belgrade Arena for a second set of rehearsals, after which they will give a press conference to give their promotional efforts a last boost. With rehearsals and press conferences featuring characters like Rodolfo Chickiliquatre from Spain, Sébastien Tellier from France and, again, the pirates from Latvia, we can expect anything to happen today!

All times in CET.

Around noon you can expect the first party reports coming in, both from our fan bloggers as well as our editorial team. Our video crew visited an event organized by the Belgian delegation, to quickly move on to the Kalemegdan concert organized by the Azerbaijani delegation. Stay tuned for a rendez-vous with former winners such as Ruslana, Dana International and Marija Serifovic', and look forward to our in-depth coverage of the second set of rehearsals of the contestants taking part in the second Semi-Final. As finishing touch, you can expect in-depth rehearsal and press conference coverage of the five pre-qualified Finalists, as well as video updates from the Belgrade Arena.

Spread the word, Eurovision.tv is the place to be... also during the weekend!
