🇸🇮 Slovenia: All details about the LPS exercise
The Slovenian LPS has completed its first rehearsal on the stage of Eurovision 2022 in Turin.
Burgundy is the predominant color for the “Disco” of Slovenia’s performance at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. LPS stuck to the same core of the EMA performance, but brought with it a huge disco ball for the center of the stage. In general, the show has a strong atmosphere of the 1960s, could this take Slovenia to the grand finale?
A short clip of the first LPS exercise can be found on TikTok below:
