Lithuania: 'Pabandom iš naujo!' Heat 3 preview



The final heat of the Lithuanian national final 'Pabandom iš naujo!' will take place this weekend.


In this heat the final 6 performers will be selected to progress to the semi-final rounds.


This week we see last year's runner up Gebrasy return to the stage. In the 2021 competition Gebrasy performed 'Where'd You Wanna Go?' and came first in his heat and semi-final, and finished as runner-up to The Roop in the Grand Final.
