The band that won the national selection in 2020 with the song “On Fire” and should have represented Lithuania at Eurovision 2020 . Due to the band winning in Pabandom iš naujo 2020 and the cancellation of Eurovision 2020, the broadcaster decided to give them a direct path for the final.
Evelina Sašenko
The singer represented Lithuania at Eurovision 2011 with the song “C’est Ma Vie“. She ended in 19th place in the grand final.
