The top two songs of each Semi Final will automatically qualify for the Grand Final, which the 3rd and 4th placed acts will go to the “run-off vote” round which will take place at the end of the fifth semi final, and additional two acts will be given a place in the Final 12. The Final will take place in “Friends Arena” in Stockholm on the 9th of March.
