The running order for the semifinals of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest has been announced, with Greece set to perform early in the first show.
Organizers revealed the lineup on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel ahead of the live shows, which will take place in Vienna on May 12 and May 14. The grand final is scheduled for May 16.
Representing Greece, performer Akylas will take the stage fourth in the first semifinal with his song “Ferto” (Bring It). He is scheduled to perform after Croatia and before Portugal.
This year also marks the return of professional juries to the semifinals for the first time since 2022. Juries will join television audiences in determining which countries advance to the final.
France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom – collectively known as the “Big Four” – along with host country Austria, will also perform during the semifinals as part of the event, though they automatically qualify for the final.
