The first photographs from the rehearsals for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 have been released.
After the first set of countries rehearsed in the St. Jabokshalle yesterday, the EBU has released photos of those first rehearsals. Unlike previous years, there will be no video footage released of the rehearsals. Instead, only three approved images will be released of each performance.
Ukraine: Ziferblat – “Bird of Pray”
Ziferblat have new outfits for their performance, which were designed by Ivan Frolov. The flower staging used in Vidbir is now gone.
Sweden: KAJ – “Bara bada bastu”
As per Eurovision rules, only three dancers now feature on stage. The sauna has been redesigned to make it easier to move, as KAJ cannot use stage technicians to do this like they did in Melodifestivalen.
Iceland: VÆB – “Róa”
VÆB and their backing dancers now have different costumes. VÆB’s costumes are mostly the same as what they wore in Söngvakeppnin. The backing dancers now have different costumes, which includes silver bucket hats, silver dungaress and white shirts with sailing motifs.
