As for the “Big 5” who have pre-qualified to the contest (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom), a draw was held to determine Italy’s place in the Grand Final (as hosts), and 🇮🇹 Mahmood and Blanco will perform 9th in the Final on 14th May.
In the past, the other Big 5 countries draw their positions (either first or second half of the final) at the red carpet event on the Sunday before the live shows. The definitive running order for the Grand Final is usually released a few hours following the completion of the Second Semi Final, in the wee hours of Friday morning.
