Justina Budaite was a backing singer for Donny Montell at Eurovision 2016 in Stockholm!
The first show will be recorded next Thursday already at 19:00 local time in LRT’s Grand Studio.
The shows will be hosted by Gabriel Martirosyanaite and Giedrius Masalskis and the first show has been planned early on in the new year already: it will start on January 5 at 21:00 local time!
Four heats will be held to determine which acts will make it to the two semi-finals, leading up to the grand final on the 23rd of February.
Which one of these will succeed Ieva Zasimauskaite, who enchanted the Eurovision public with ‘When We’re Old’ last May in Lisbon?
