Irish Eurovision hopeful Bambie Thug has rehearsed Doomsday Blue for a second time on the main stage at the Malmö Arena in Sweden - take a look at the pictures here.

Cork native Bambie Thug will perform their song Doomsday Blue in the first semi-final on 7 May and will face Ukraine, Cyprus, Poland, Serbia, Lithuania, Croatia, Slovenia, Iceland, Finland, Portugal, Luxembourg, Australia, Azerbaijan, and Moldova.

The countries performing in the second semi-final on 9 May are Austria, Malta, Switzerland, Greece, Czechia, Albania, Denmark, Armenia, Israel, Estonia, Georgia, Netherlands, Norway, Latvia, San Marino, and Belgium.

Swedish broadcaster SVT has named two of the interval acts that viewers can look forward to during the two semi-finals - and it's an all-star lineup of past Eurovision performers that will be returning to the stage.

In the first semi-final, Benjamin Ingrosso will perform a medley featuring just some of the songs he has recently performed across Europe as part of his Better Days Tour.

In the second semi-final, the audience will have the opportunity to participate in the world's biggest singalong, together with three iconic Eurovision queens - Helena Paparizou, Sertab Erener, and Charlotte Perrelli.
