A Year Gone By

It’s incredible how quickly time has flown since we were on site in Liverpool, working on last year’s Eurovision Song Contest. The experience was a whirlwind of activity and creativity, and now the crew in Sweden are gearing up for another spectacular run of shows.

Best of luck to all the contestants competing in this year’s contest! And a special shoutout to the hardworking crew behind the scenes—I hope you have a fantastic run of shows. Producing Eurovision is no small feat. The crew works tirelessly every day of the week, as each live show (Semi-Final 1, Semi-Final 2, and the Grand Final) is preceded by three dress rehearsals: one closed to the public, the jury show, and the family show. This is in addition to all participants rehearsing individually on stage twice for each show, with rehearsals beginning up to two weeks before the Saturday night Grand Final. Phew!

Who’s your favorite to win this year?
