Who is performing at the first Eurovision Semi Final this Tuesday?
We've got the full list of performers and the running order for this Tuesday night's Eurovision Song Contest Semi Final
Sweden, Estonia, Norway and Switzerland will all perform in the first of two Eurovision Semi Finals, taking place this Tuesday night.
On BBC One and iPlayer, Rylan and Scott Mills are coming to you live from Basel, Switzerland, for the first semi-final of the world’s biggest music event, as 15 nations battle it out for ten coveted spots in Saturday’s grand final. Get ready for soaring vocals, dazzling performances, and a suspense-filled voting sequence.
Among the standout acts are Sweden’s early favourite KAJ with a catchy tribute to saunas, Iceland’s wild pop duo VÆB—drawing comparisons to Jedward—and San Marino’s DJ Gabry Ponte, best known for the global hit Blue (Da Ba Dee) with Eiffel 65, now aiming to top charts again with Tutta l’Italia.
Also taking the stage, but already guaranteed spots in the final, are entries from two of the 'Big Five'—Spain and Italy—as well as the host country, Switzerland.
After Nemo’s win with The Code last year in Malmö, Eurovision returns to its roots in Switzerland, the original host in 1956 and winner in 1988 with none other than Celine Dion.
