Katarsis maintains the spirit of their act from the Lithuanian selection, with a performance that will be very similar but adapted for the larger stage and also a variety of effects. The band members wear blue costumes, and the screens display a bleak landscape. The exploding house and flying rocks that appeared on the screens during the song’s climax in the pre-selection also appear on the Eurovision stage, but in a bigger and more impressive way. This time, the effect will include the LED floor and add to the overall atmosphere. The camera angles remain similar in terms of the...

Klavdia will perform as song number 7 in the second semi-final, scheduled for May 15th. Klavdia, who appeared in Ethnikos Telikos wearing a cream outfit with a fitted shirt and flared pants alongside five dancers, completely transforms her appearance for the Eurovision stage. Here, she dons a long, form-fitting dress adorned with tiny gemstones. Under shifting lights, the dress appears either black or a very deep blue-creating a far more dramatic and glamorous look compared to the simple, bright outfit from Ethnikos Telikos.

Parg will perform as song number 5 in the second semi-final, scheduled for May 15th. Parg introduced a completely new stage concept for "Survivor," distinct from what was seen in the Depi Evratesil. The most noticeable change is the use of "Lego lights"-rectangular lighting fixtures suspended from the arena ceiling. Half of these lights are lowered to nearly head height, while the other half hang at about 2.5 meters. The lights flash and sparkle in sync with the bass, creating a structural effect on stage that feels dark and industrial-entirely different from the rocks and columns seen in the national selection.

This time, Nina will perform a ballad, leaving behind the neon green of "Igranka" in favor of black and white.
