It should NOT have been the dreadful Scott Mills.

I'd have preferred Mans and Petra but this is near enough!

The 2018 stage was revealed yesterday. I think it looks great! A lot more ambition than last year's stage and something approaching the dynamism of the stage in Stockholm.

If anyone wants some LED lighting rigs next April and May - you'll find the entire European stock in Lisbon...
I get the blue colouring for the sea - and the rings rising up from the stage for the latitude rings of the globe, but navigation, and maps? Naa..

Conceptual babble from ESC/RTVP, which will loose all meaning once the LD gets to work.

Somewhat brilliantly I have a ticket already for this (third live Eurovision in a row!), achieved the same way as last year - watch the tickets "sell out" in front of a frustrated 10,000+ queue, log on again late that same night and casually buy one of the few tickets put back on sale once most of the traffic's gone. Next wave on sale December 20th.

Last year ended up a bit underwhelming in Kiev - the semis were so poorly booked they discounted most of the tickets to about £15, and a few tickets even went back on sale for the final - I ended up getting a better view by buying a new ticket and selling off the original at face value on Viagogo (which went in seconds). The atmosphere also went flat near the end as half the audience left once it became clear Ukraine had no chance of winning, something that wasn't a problem in Stockholm 2016 which had a much more engaged and excited audience.

Difficult to know what Lisbon will be like, possibly an audience somewhere between Stockholm and Kiev - I can imagine a fair few Spanish and Portuguese fans enjoying their first ever Eurovision, and a much bigger international crowd enjoying some scorching late Spring sun.

I'm looking forward to it, I always enjoy seeing country host for the first time. The stage looks ok on the sweeping wide that the artists impression is portraying - but reminds me of Vienna rather. How it looks on closer shots will be interesting. It doesn't look like there's as much reliance on LED screens as backdrop, but maybe that's a more flexible thing this year than a solid wall approach.
