Rehearsals in Basel are in full swing! May 13, 15, and 17 — key dates on the Eurovision calendar — are getting closer. After Wednesday’s rehearsals for the first semi-final participants, it’s now time for the second individual rehearsals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 second semi-final.
This Thursday, May 8, Australia, Montenegro, Ireland, Latvia, Armenia, Austria, Greece, Lithuania, and Malta return to the stage at St. Jakobshalle. In addition, the Big 5 (Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Germany) and the host country, Switzerland, will present their entries for the first time. Although they have a direct pass to the Grand Final, we will still see their performances in the semi-finals, and so they begin their rehearsals in Basel today.
Below you can see a gallery of images from the countries that have held their rehearsals on this sixth day.
