The semi-final running orders for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest have been revealed.
This year's semi-final will take place today (Tuesday, May 7) with coverage kicking off at 8pm for the UK.
The "Big Five" nations—the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain—usually do not have to compete in the semi-finals since they have already earned a spot in the grand final.This is due to the fact that these nations' broadcasters rank among those whose annual financial contributions to Eurovision are the highest. This year, though, every nation will compete in both semi-finals, even those where a spot is certain, like Sweden, the victors from last year.
