Further information
The so-called Big Five (Germany, France, Spain, Great Britain and Italy) were automatically set for the final. In addition, the host country always receives a place in the final. In the first semi-final on May 9 and in the second semi-final on May 11, ten countries each qualified for the final. First, a draw was made to determine in which half of the finale the respective acts would start. After the second semi-final, the final starting order was determined from a dramaturgical point of view. Only for host country Great Britain and last year’s winner Ukraine was a starting place drawn on March 13th. The reason for this is that there is no accusation that the host country would gain an advantage by supposedly having a better starting position.
Interval acts in the final
Kalush Orchestra, the winners of the ESC 2022 in Turin open this year’s finale with their winning song “Stefania”. Besides are also Sam Ryder, Jamala, Tina Karol, Verka Serduchka and Go_A with you. With “The Liverpool Songbook” – an allusion to the many hits that the city of Liverpool has produced – interpret Italiens Mahmood, Israels Netta, Iceland Daði Freyr, Sweden Cornelia Jakobs and Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands share some of the most famous “Liverpool hits”. Also there is Sonia, a Liverpooler who finished second at the ESC in Millstreet 30 years ago.
New voting rules for the ESC
Starting this year, new voting rules will apply to the Eurovision Song Contest. Fans from countries not participating in the ESC can now also vote. In these countries, voting takes place via online voting, which is subject to a fee. The voting is then added together and announced in the program and counts as much as the voting of a participating country.
Due to the Russian war of aggression jumps Great Britain entered for Ukraine, who won the 2022 competition.
