Say last last last! Running order for ESC 2019 revealed
The running order for the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest has just been announced!
As has been the case for several years now, the running order has been determined not by a random draw but by the producers, the aim being “to create the most exciting television shows possible and ensure each act will stand out”.
The first semi-final will be opened by last year’s runner-up nation Cyprus. The unusual visuals of Australia and Iceland are placed back to back in the second half, while the show will close with a blast of colour thanks to San Marino and Serhat’s “Say Na Na Na”.
| 1. Cyprus 2. Montenegro 3. Finland 4. Poland 5. Slovenia 6. Czech Republic 7. Hungary 8. Belarus 9. Serbia |
10. Belgium 11. Georgia 12. Australia 13. Iceland 14. Estonia 15. Portugal 16. Greece 17. San Marino |
The second semi-final is topped and tailed by perennial rivals Armenia and Azerbaijan. The current bookmakers’ favourite, Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands, is given a prime slot near the end of the running order, with the other favourites – Switzerland, Sweden and Russia – evenly spaced throughout the show.
| 1. Armenia 2. Ireland 3. Moldova 4. Switzerland 5. Latvia 6. Romania 7. Denmark 8. Sweden 9. Austria |
10. Croatia 11. Malta 12. Lithuania 13. Russia 14. Albania 15. Norway 16. The Netherlands 17. North Macedonia 18. Azerbaijan |
Now that we have the running order, stay tuned for the launch of our annual Line-Up Check series, in which our editors Shi, Felix and Martin turn their attention to each of the participating entries in turn. Debates and disagreements guaranteed!
