Definitely looks like another Golden Circle The catwalks are almost always useless, they need to ditch them.
Problem is, since 2011 everyone except the Swedes and Danes have used the same stage designer - I think this is Florian Wieder's 6th Eurovision now?
That said, it'd be wrong of me to huff and puff when I like having the same Scandinavian production team bussed in because at least then you know the show will be good.
This is going to be Florian Wieder's 5th Eurovision stage, following 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2017.
He designed 2018 as well - many think he didn't due to the lack of LED screens.

Aren't Golden Circles more a commercial decision than one of design?
I believe for Eurovision it's more to do with having a controllable number of people appearing on the tv output to be really near the stage for tracking shots. I was in the golden circle for Lisbon and was surprised how far back the main arena general standing was from the stage (especially the main stage area and not just the outer ring). In a more commercial concert setting, golden circle is usually larger so will be a financial decision. Tel Aviv looks like it's a couple of hundred people max. Celine Dion is playing Hyde Park in London this year and has a diamond circle, a golden circle, a seated terrace section off to one side and then general admission
I've often wondered in Eurovison how much the ticket sales and sponsorship deals go towards cover the running cost overall?
I thought Dolly Style would make it through but alas. The big shocker is the Lovers Of Vladaro. I thought that was a well staged, fairly catchy number.
And the word "Leksand" sets my smart speaker off it transpires.

I suspect the EBU are fearing Sergei will win because I doubt they want the contest to go to Russia where Ukraine will withdraw and probably others (Including the UK) will at least seriously consider it.

So if it was the case that Russia had won instead of Ukraine in 2016, are you suggesting that other countries would have withdrawn from it?

Possibly - through relations between many countries and Russia have deteriorated further and could well get even worse.

I would actually say you're wrong on that one. Russia wouldn't be sending Sergey back if they didn't want to win it.
