HOW TO WATCH: EUROVIZIJA.LT starts at 18:00 CET on Friday 27 February. Broadcaster LRT will be showing it via their online platform, as well as a live stream on their YouTube channel.
The big final of Lithuania’s EUROVIZIJA.LT is all set to light up Twinsbet Arena in Vilnius on the evening of Friday 27 Feburary.
It’s the first time that the Baltic nation has hosted its Eurovision pre-selection in an arena inside the country’s capital. And we’re looking forward to a big-scale show as a result!
The EUROVIZIJA.LT final comes after five weeks of semi-finals, during which 40 songs competed for the opportunity to represent Lithuania in Vienna.
During each of the five semi-finals, the two songs with the most votes progressed to the final. An 11th ‘wildcard’ position in the final was then given to the semi-final third-placer of broadcaster LRT’s choosing. And as the Lithuanian pre-selection comes to its conclusion in its sixth week, we now have our 11-song lineup for the final.
Ahead of the Friday night final, you can already listen to each of the songs over on the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.
These are your 11 finalists in the order that they will be performed in:

In a first for the Lithuanian national final, the public vote is open to international viewers, too! Anyone watching the pre-selection from outside of Lithuania can head to balsuok.lrt.lt to cast their vote; a platform which uses the same technology as the Eurovision Song Contest.
