On Saturday, after the Latvian national team’s match at the World Ice Hockey Championship, the live event will continue with the live broadcast of the Eurovision final.
Dome Square has been adapted and improved for public viewing of the live broadcast, so that all interested parties can follow the World Hockey Championship and also the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.
As we reported, domestic singer Don with the song “Hollow” entered the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Thursday, which will take place in Melme, Sweden.
The second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest took place in the Swedish city of Malmö on Thursday evening, where 10 more countries were selected for the contest final, including Latvia, Estonia and Israel.
The 10 new finalists are Latvia, Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Israel, Greece, Estonia, Switzerland, Georgia and Armenia. From the second semi-final, the member states that did not make it to the final were Albania, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Malta and San Marino.
Latvia is represented at this year’s Eurovision by the domestic singer Dons with the song “Hollow” in English, which was originally created and released in Latvian under the name “Kingdom of Broken Spears”. The Latvian version of the song won first place in the “Music Award 2023” competition in January.
Estonia is represented at Eurovision by the group “5miinust” and “Puuluup” with the song “(Nendest) narkooticumidest ei tea me (küll) magadi” (“We don’t (yet) know anything about (these) drugs”).
Israel, whose participation in Eurovision was protested by thousands of people in Malmö on Thursday, is represented in the competition by singer Edena Golan with the song “Hurricane”. The original title of the song “October Rain” and its lyrics were changed because the organizers of the contest considered them to be overtly political.
Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Finland, Cyprus, Croatia, Ireland and Luxembourg were selected as finalists in the first semi-final of Eurovision, which took place on Tuesday evening, while Australia, Azerbaijan, Iceland, Poland and Moldova did not reach the final.
Lithuania is represented at Eurovision by the singer Silvestrs Belts with the song “Luktelk” (“Wait”).
Participation in the Eurovision final, which will take place on Saturday evening, is automatically guaranteed to the countries of the so-called “Big Five” – France, Italy, Great Britain, Spain and Germany, as well as Sweden, the organizer of this year’s contest.
