Lithuania: Dates for shows in January and February

The Lithuanian national selection is scheduled to kick off on the 3rd of January. Eurovizijos will consist of 8  weekly televised shows by broadcaster LRT, with the final to be held on the 21st of February in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius.

There will actually be two finals: one final to select the song and another one to select the singer. In the grand final on he 21st of February, the song will be matched to the singer.

Broadcaster LRT will use the same method as in 2014 to select its Eurovision entry for Vienna. There will be 12 potential artists and 12 potential songs, with the Eurovision songs being in the show from the third round of the contest. More details will be made public next Monday.

In 2014 LRT Vilija Matačiūnaitė won “Eurovizijos” dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka and flew the Lithuanian flag in Copenhagen with her song ‘Attention’. Unfortunately for Lithuania she did not qualify to the grand final.
