Eurovision 2024: Running order for the Grand Final
The running order for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 has been decided. Like the 10 previous years, the producer of the Eurovision Song Contest has decided the running order
UPDATE 11 MAY 2024, 14:15 CEST
Disqualification of the Netherlands
After the disqualification of the Netherlands' Joost Klein, the number of competing countries in the Grand Final has now been reduced from 26 to 25.
All contestants keep their number in the official running order. There will be NO song in position number 5.
The producer of this year's Eurovision, Swedish broadcaster SVT, has decided the running order for the Grand Final at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. Over the last 10 years the shows' producers have decided the running order based on an allocation draw.
A draw took place shortly after Semi-final 1 and Semi-final 2. Here, half of the participants were distributed in the first or second half of the Grand Final. The other half was in the category "Producer Decides," meaning that the Swedish producer SVT could freely decide where to put these countries in the running order.
Right after the 10 qualifiers from the second Semi-final were decided, the producers of the contest started laying the puzzle to ensure variety in the Grand Final.
It had already been decided via a draw that Sweden would perform as song number 1 in the Grand Final.
