After what feels like the longest pause ever thanks to the new format, ERR has released the semi-final line-ups following an independent draw that took place at their headquarters yesterday.

The semi-finals will take place on 3 and 5 February at the usual location of Saku Suurhall in Tallinn. The 20 songs that qualified from the video-only quarter finals in November and December will be performed live for the first time.
