We are officially entering the final stretch on the road to discovering the winner of Eurovision 2025, as only three days separate us from the Grand Final of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest!
Today, live from the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, two critical rehearsals for the Second Semi-Final will take place: the Press Rehearsal and the Jury Rehearsal, where Greece’s Klavdia will perform.
These are not ordinary run-throughs — the Jury Rehearsal in particular plays a crucial role, as it determines the votes of the professional juries. In the event that a country experiences technical difficulties during the live broadcast, the performance from tonight’s rehearsal will be used instead for televoting purposes.
The official running order for the Second Semi-Final is as follows:
-
- Australia
- Montenegro
- Ireland
- Latvia
- Armenia
- Austria
United Kingdom - Greece
- Lithuania
- Malta
- Georgia
France - Denmark
- Czechia
- Luxembourg
- Israel
Germany - Serbia
- Finland
- Australia
It is worth noting that for only the second time in Eurovision history, the Big 5 and the host country Switzerland will perform their songs live in the semi-finals, as part of the televised broadcast.
Who’s Hosting Tonight?
The hosts for this evening’s show are the charismatic Hazel Brugger and the elegant Sandra Studer.
