Lithuania selects Katarsis with their song “Tavo akys” for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025
On February 15, Eurovizija.LT 2025 came to a close as Lithuania selected its representative for the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel. The national final marked the end of a long selection process, with 44 artists competing across five heats in January and February before twelve finalists took the stage, each performing live for the first time.
The show opened with shots of an enthusiastic audience, setting a welcoming atmosphere for what turned out to be a well-produced, family-friendly event—though its 3.5-hour runtime was a test of endurance!
Voting was split into two stages. First, a 50/50 Jury and Televote determined the top three artists advancing to the “Superfinal”:
🎤 Katarsis – “Tavo akys”
🎤 Liepa – “Ar mylėtum”
🎤 Lion Ceccah – “Drobė”
Ultimately, Katarsis won, winning both the jury-televote round and the Superfinal public vote with 15,889 votes, over 4,500 votes ahead of runner-up Lion Ceccah. However, the announcement came with a minor hiccup—due to a technical error, the winner was declared before all votes were counted. The final result was officially confirmed three days later.
