Rehearsals have started today (UPDATE)

Rehearsals for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest have started today. For the first time in the history of the song festival, these rehearsals are not accessible to the press.

However, on a daily basis we will keep you informed about what is happening in Turin. In addition, we have reporter Kal on location, who will provide regular updates on Instagram and TikTok.

We can report the first news we have right away: According to the newspaper La Stampa, there would be technical problems with the control of the kinetic sun that is present on the stage. These problems would not be solvable. That means the kinetic sun will move less than intended.

UPDATE: It seems that water that got over the cables on the stage is the problem. The kinetic sun no longer rotates at all. To be continued…
