Most of those who came here are loyal Eurovision fans. Some came to watch live performances for the first time, while others come every year to support their country’s representatives.

There is no shortage of Lithuanians at the approaches to the arena. Here is a couple from Vilnius at such an event – for the first time. The Vilnius native received the tickets to the event on the occasion of her birthday from her relatives.

Among the Lithuanians who met at the arena were Silvester Belt’s relatives. The family of the performer representing Lithuania said that it was difficult to contact him in the last months, they allowed him to concentrate and prepare for the performance.

“And today, I think we will shout a lot and support him. We wish you luck, peace, don’t get excited and perform well,” Silvester Belt’s sister smiled.
