The running order for the semi-finals will be announced soon, after today’s meeting of the Head of Delegations. This running order will be composed by SVT and has to be approved by the EBU. The Big 5 will draw the halves (first or second) they’ll be performing in after their first rehearsal and will be assigned a number in the running order after the second semi-final, when all the entries competing in the final are known. A running order which will once again be made by SVT and approved by the EBU.
