The Eurovision Song Contest has announced the official running order for the competition’s Grand Final. Ahead of the final on Saturday, May 11, Eurovision has shared the order in which the 26 acts will be performing.
Hosted by Hollywood actress Malin Akerman and TV presenter and comedian Petra Mede, the Grand Final will see the newly confirmed final qualifiers join host nation Sweden and the Big Five - France, Spain, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom - on stage in a battle for the crown. The running order was decided in the early hours after Thursday’s night's second Semi Final.
As tradition, the host nation will perform first, with Sweden’s Marcus & Martinus singing Unforgettable. The UK’s contestant, the Years & Years singer Olly Alexander, has been given the 13th slot on the bill - which means he will be performing at the show’s halfway point.
The countries to be eliminated from Thursday’s Semi Final were Malta, Albania, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark and San Marino. They joined Tuesday’s eliminated countries - Australia, Azerbaijan, Iceland, Moldova and Poland.
The 68th Eurovision Song Contest is taking place in the Swedish city of Malmö at the Malmö Arena, following Loreen’s victory in 2023 with her song Tattoo. For more details on how, where and when to watch Saturday’s Grand Final, visit here.
