At "Eurovision", one of the participants was allowed to play a live instrument contrary to the rules

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) deviated from the usual competition rules and allowed Finland's representative, Linda Lampenius, to perform a violin part live during her performance. Normally, live instruments are prohibited on stage at "Eurovision" because it complicates the technical organization of the show and quick changes between acts, reports Yle.

Linda Lampenius performs with singer Pete Parkkonen with the song "Liekinheitin" ("Flamethrower"). According to the general rules, vocals must be live, but instrumental parts are usually pre-recorded, and artists only mimic playing.

The EBU explains that the ban on live instruments is due to the need to quickly reconfigure the stage between performances.

However, this time, after rehearsals, the organizers saw that the Finnish act could be performed without technical problems, so they allowed the live violin performance. The final decision was made after the second rehearsal.

The EBU also noted that such exceptions are possible if they are justified by the artistic concept and do not disrupt the flow of the show.

The anniversary 70th "Eurovision" will be held in Vienna this year. The semi-finals are scheduled for May 12 and 14, and the final for May 16, 2026. 35 countries will participate in the competition, 30 of which will compete in the semi-finals. The Finnish duo will perform in the first semi-final on May 12.
