Martin provided coverage from the press centre, Felix contributed impressions from the city.
Rehearsals, May 6th – LIVE!
Urgh. Hangover. And with good reason - it was the Georgian party last night, and you can read my report about it here, because it deserves separate attention. Meanwhile, esc-chat.com is back in the press centre and ready to go with the sixth day of rehearsals for the...
Georgia on my mind
(a.k.a. "I've got a stinking headache, anyone got any paracetamol?") The Georgian party is always a highlight of the ESC fortnight calendar, and this year's was a blast once again. Held in the Henkel-Saal, the larger room in EuroClub, we were treated to various...
Rehearsals, May 5th – LIVE!
It's day 5 in Düsseldorf, and we're back where we started from, with Poland strutting their stuff on the stage as I type this opening sentence. Before we get to that, though, a few quick notes on last night. EuroClub opened its doors for real last night, with the...
FelixK’s review on rehearsals day 4
I arrived in my good old Cologne! Not in total Eurovision mode yet (because visiting a non-fan friend here), but still blogging about my thoughts about the rehearsals today. And when I came home to the hotel, "Popular" sounded out of a pub that I passed on my way. So...
Rehearsals, May 4th – LIVE!
Welcome to the press centre, home of free coffee (bliss!) but not free water (boo!). Another quietish night at the lovely EuroClub building - there was a Swiss party elsewhere in town, apparently, but it was just a brief live session in a jazz club so we weren't too...
Things to do outside of Düsseldorf
Some people from all across Europe have already spent a few days in Düsseldorf, a lot more fans will come in the next days and next week! Whether you didn't get accredited and wonder what to do with your time, or maybe you might want to escape from the press centre...
FelixK’s review on rehearsals day 3
My last night in Berlin! Before I start packing for tomorrow, I'm gonna review the rehearsals of today, as always from my side judged from the videos of escdaily. Also read Martin's live blog review from the press centre. Tomorrow I'll be blogging from Cologne, then...
Rehearsals, May 3rd – LIVE!
Quiet night last night, as our apartment was collectively a bit on the tired side. Plenty of time left for partying, particularly since there's a few days until the delegation bashes get going, so Chinese takeaway, cheap supermarket wine and some DVDs and bad German...
FelixK’s review on rehearsals day 2
Martin provided the live blogging for you for the 2nd day in a row, now it's my turn to add my 2 eurocents. Let's see if we are as much disagreeing as yesterday... Malta Let me get myself sorted first. I have heard better songs before, and the singer himself is...

7 facts about Düsseldorf
1. Kö is the common short name for "Königsallee". It's the central boulevard in Düsseldorf. The western part of the street is rather boring, the eastern part is said to be the one to be on if you want to go shopping on a quite luxury scale. It's the...
Rehearsals, May 2nd – LIVE!
Last night saw the official opening night of EuroClub in Düsseldorf Old Town, although there were few signs of ESC festivities just yet - the only artist I spotted was a slightly bemused-looking Axel aka Paradise Oskar trying to sway in time with "Boom Boom". It's an...
