Rita Ora will perform a medley of her greatest hits as one of the intermission performances at the Eurovision semi-finals next month.
Additionally, Rebecca Ferguson will perform in her hometown of Liverpool. She stated on the BBC’s Eurovisioncast Podcast,
“It’s a musical celebration of Liverpool and Ukraine.”
Rita Ora will perform a collaboration with Alyosha, a Ukrainian musician.
Julia Sanina, one of this year’s hosts, will introduce the first semifinal with her band The Hardkiss.
Mariya Yaremchuk, OTOY, and Zlata Dzyunka will also perform, as the United Kingdom is hosting the song contest on behalf of Ukraine.
The BBC stated that it would symbolize how the United Kingdom is “United by Music” – the slogan for this year’s competition.
Eight weeks after giving birth, Ferguson joked to the BBC,
“I’m hoping to squeeze into a dress.”
“I’m looking forward to it because it will be my first work event where I can dress up since becoming a mother in the past few weeks.”
It is anticipated that approximately 160 million people will observe the competition, making it one of the largest TV audiences in the world.
Ferguson, who has four top 10 albums in the UK, said,
“I’m going to treat it the same way I treated X Factor, because whenever I went on stage, all I could think about was the studio audience.” “This is the only way to survive a performance; otherwise, you would never take the stage.”
Kate Phillips, director of BBC’s Unscripted, which focuses on amusement and significant events, stated,
“There won’t be a moment to miss during these very entertaining and tense semi-finals.”
The elimination rounds will occur on Tuesday, May 9, and Thursday, May 11.
