Lithuania 2021: 'Pabandom iš Naujo!' Semi-Final Preview

The Semi-Final round of ‘Pabandom iš naujo!’ will take place this weekend, as Lithuania takes another step closer to selecting their 2021 Eurovision contestant.

The five winners from each of the two heats will compete for a place in the Final next week, where they will be up against the top placed acts and The Roop, who were automatic qualifiers.

The show was recorded earlier this week, and judging from photos released by the broadcaster LRT, we can expect to see some adjustments to the outfits and staging for some of the acts.

It is expected that five acts will qualify for the Final this week, based on a 50/50 split jury and televote. The Jury will be made up of Ramūnas Zilnys, Aistė Smilgevičiūtė, Jievaras Jasinskis, Gerūta Griniūtė and Stanislavas Stavickis-Stano.

Here are the songs that will take part and their scores from the heats:
