Following the winners’ press conference, the newly qualified finalists will take part in the traditional draw to determine in which half of the Grand Final they will perform. Each country will either be allocated to the first half, the second half, or the “producer’s choice” category, allowing the show’s producers to decide their exact running order position for Saturday night’s spectacular show.

After that and in the coming hours, the show’s producers will determine and the EBU will reveal the full running order for the Grand Final.

The show opened with yet another humorous performance from the hosts, who attempted — in their own unique way, to perform last year’s winning entry, Wasted love by JJ. However, , things did not quite turn out the way they had imagined… though that may well have resulted in one of the funniest Eurovision show openings in recent years.

While the voting was going on, hosts Victoria Swarovski and Michael Ostrowski took over the stage with a playful and energetic rendition of the classic hit I’m so excited by The Pointer Sisters, adding yet another entertaining moment to tonight’s show.

Shortly afterwards, the atmosphere inside the Wiener Stadthalle turned far more nostalgic and emotional as Merci, Chérie, Austria’s winning Eurovision entry from 1966, echoed throughout the arena. In a beautiful tribute to the country’s Eurovision legacy and first winner, the late Udo Jürgens, the entire venue embraced the spirit of Vienna with a magical waltz moment, as the hosts, the artists in the Green Room and thousands of fans in the audience danced together under the lights of the Eurovision stage.

Following the closing of the voting lines, we witnessed 2025 winner JJ return to the stage to perform his new song, in an impressive staging that captivated us all.
