The Dutch port city of Rotterdam is preparing for a slimmed down version of the Eurovision song contest this weekend with a limited live audience, amid falling but still significant Covid-19 infection rates in the Netherlands.
All 39 participating countries and their delegations are tested before they can enter the venue.
As normal, the Eurovision is split into three parts: A semi-final on Tuesday, May 18, a second semi-final on Thursday, May 20, and the big final on Saturday, May 22.
All three shows will begin in Ireland at 8pm.
What time will Ireland's entry Lesley Roy be on and where can I watch it?
Lesley Roy will be in the first semi-final tonight, Monday, at 8pm on RTE Two.
Marty Whelan will be doing commentary for RTE.
If people want to watch Graham Norton, he'll be doing it on BBC Four.
The whole show will also be livestreamed on the Eurovision YouTube channel.
Ireland's Lesley Roy will be competing against 16 other contestants tonight in the first semi-final.
Only ten from each semi-final go through to the grand final.
As well as those countries, the Big Five (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK) automatically get into the final, as do the host country, the Netherlands.
Will there be fans at the Eurovision this year?
The Netherlands is hosting the 65th edition of the event, which draws a television audience of about 200 million, this weekend.
The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Some 3,000 fans can attend through the Dutch trial scheme for events during the pandemic.
This past weekend the organisers announced there had been infections found in members of the delegations from Poland and Iceland. Both delegations are in quarantine and waiting for more tests.
What has Ireland's entry Lesley Roy said?
Irish Eurovision star Lesley Roy admits the thought of Marty Whelan commentating on her performance makes her emotional as she realises her dream.
The Dublin singer-songwriter will represent the nation with her song Maps at the semi-final in Rotterdam's Ahoy Arena tonight.
And dubbing the competition a lifelong ambition come true, Lesley revealed she "bawled" when she first saw her official Eurovision postcard video that will introduce her tonight.
She said: "I think that's when it really hit home to me that this is happening.
"I'll be honest, I was bawling, just so emotional watching it.
"I was thinking about Marty [Whelan] giving the commentary over it and people at home tuning in and I just got so teary - it caught me off guard."
Win or lose, the 34-year-old said she can't wait to see it again, just to hear the RTE legend's voice over the piece.
Speaking before her final dress rehearsal yesterday, Lesley added: "I will be watching it back, whatever way things go, and I just know I will be floored hearing Marty's voice giving the commentary.
"It's tradition, the child in me that watched it, I get emotional about it." After two years of a rollercoaster ride to get there, due to the pandemic hampering her chances last year, the support from home is also leaving her teary-eyed.
She said: "All the crew at home in Balbriggan have the flags and posters out, but I've told them I don't want to see any pictures until afterwards because I think I'd lose it. It's so emotional. I know that they will be cheering me on and just to know that I have that support is incredible."
With just hours to go until she takes to the stage with the hopes of getting through to Saturday's final, she said the fairytale is starting to feel like reality.
But in the short time ahead of her debut on stage tonight, her main focus is on rest and recharging.
Lesley said: "There will be lots of hot water, lots of warming up and trying to keep the vocal cords as warm as possible all day, since it is a long day to wait to do the show.
"I will be trying to keep the energy low key and just chill out as much as possible, but I'm so excited to get up there and for everyone to see this."
Meanwhile, as she tries to stay as safe as possible ahead of her performance, she sends her well wishes to the members of Polish and Icelandic delegations, who have tested positive for Covid.
Lesley added: "We are thinking of them and hope they get to perform, we really feel for them."
