There’s just one more Eurovision semi-final to go, with the UK set to show Europe exactly what they have in store for the Grand Final.

Following the first semi-final of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest on Tuesday, Slovenia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Cyprus, and Belgium have already been eliminated from the competition - despite one country having been an early favourite.

With just ten more places available in the Grand Final, Thursday’s semi-final will see 16 countries go head to head onstage in Basel, Switzerland.

And, for a second year, the semi-finals include performances from the “Big 5” – the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain – who already have their place in final secured as a result of their country’s financial contribution to Eurovision. Host nation Switzerland also automatically qualifies.
