The countdown to Chanel Terrero’s Eurovision 2022 grand final performance is nearing its end. The artist travels to Turin on Wednesday to begin the competition journey with the song Slo mo, representing Spain. For the next ten days, a packed schedule awaits with rehearsals, press conferences, and official events that could culminate on May 14 when the crystal microphone may return to Spain. This outlines Chanel’s complete Eurovision 2022 itinerary.
Chanel is set to fly to Turin on Wednesday, May 4, to commence her Eurovision 2022 adventure. Accompanying her will be a team of dancers Exo Narcos, Josh Huerta, Pol Soto, Raquel Caurin, and Ria Perez, alongside choreographer Kyle Hanagami and TVE personnel who will cover the festival, including Eva Mora, head of Spain’s Eurovision delegation.
Spain’s 2022 representative is scheduled to appear on the Eurovision stage for the first time on Thursday, May 5. After wardrobe preparations and sound checks, Chanel will conduct her initial individual rehearsal behind closed doors at 5:35 p.m. A short video capturing the technical test will be posted shortly afterward.
At 7:35 p.m., Chanel will participate in a Meet and Greet held at the Olympic Palace grounds in Turin, where accredited journalists will have the chance to ask questions and engage with the artist and team.
Two days later, Chanel returns to the stage. On Saturday, May 7, she will perform an additional individual rehearsal at 11:15 a.m. for Slo mo, with a 20-minute session alongside her dance and creative teams to refine movements and timing ahead of the grand final.
After a final monitoring review to ensure the performance meets all technical standards, the artist will join accredited journalists at a press conference at 12:25 p.m. where details about the semi-final draw for the final will be discussed, including Spain’s position on stage.
On Sunday, May 8, at 6:00 p.m., Chanel together with fellow entrants will process along the turquoise carpet during the Opening Ceremony on the parade grounds of Venaria Reale, a landmark royal residence designated a World Heritage Site.
As anticipated, Chanel will likely have other undisclosed commitments that prevent a return to the PalaOlimico in Turin on Wednesday, May 11. She is expected to attend the dress rehearsal of the second semi-final, when the voting sequence for the jury will take place at 9:00 p.m.
Representing the Big Five, Chanel is expected to participate in the second semi-final alongside Britain and Germany, with Sam Ryder and Malik Harris as fellow contestants. The final ten nations will determine the eventual results. If the tradition of previous years holds, a full article penned by Spain’s Eurovision spokesperson may be uploaded to YouTube after the broadcast.
Following the semi-final thinking and finalist announcements, Spain’s representative remains slated to perform again in the grand finale.
The general rehearsals for the Eurovision 2022 grand final are on Chanel’s schedule for Friday, May 13. The first rehearsal, open to the press, is set for 1:00 p.m. Later in the evening, at 9:00 p.m., Spain’s representative will deliver half of the professional jury’s votes during the jury show.
The decisive day arrives on Saturday, May 14, when the 2022 Eurovision grand final takes the stage. Two and a half months after her victory at Benidorm Fest, Chanel represents Spain with Slo mo, a song that has become one of the competition’s strongest favorites this year. If success follows the Spanish entry, a post-event press conference is planned for Sunday, May 15 at 1:00 p.m., where Chanel and the Spanish delegation would share their initial impressions after the festival organized by the European Broadcasting Union.
