The Lithuanian National Final 'Pabandom iš naujo!' will continue this weekend with Heat 2 taking place on Saturday evening January 15 in Europe and Sunday morning January 16 Australian time.
Following the same format as Heat 1, 11 acts will perform and be in the running for 6 more places in the semi-finals, decided by 50% jury and 50% public vote.
LRT confirmed earlier this week that two previously announced acts will no longer be taking part. Monika Linkyte (who represented Lithuania at Eurovision in 2015) and Arturas Aleksiejus-Alekas have withdrawn from the competition.
Who's in the line-up this week?
This week we will again see some familiar faces from previous years return to the stage. Viewers from last year will remember the duo Titas ir Benas, who performed the ballad 'No'.
Queens of Roses also return after taking part in 2017 and 2019, as well as Cosmic Bride who performed ‘Solitary Star’ last year.
