Vardychinov Arena is packed with fans from around the island and from all four corners of Natia, and the atmosphere is heavy with anticipation. Let's take a look at the stage for tonight's show:
As this is such a huge event for Cydoni-Gibberia, some of our greatest artists have been invited along to perform for the crowd and to get the contest spirit going. With a powerful rendition of one of our spinoff entries, here's Everything Everything!
