Eurovision 2024: Final Entrants and Performance Order After Semi-Finals

Despite protests outside Malmo Arena ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest’s second semi-final, Israel’s Eden Golan has made it into this weekend’s grand final, with her performance of “Hurricane” more warmly received on television than her prior dress rehearsal earlier in the week.

The second semi-final saw favourites Nemo (Switzerland) and Joost Klein (Netherlands) also book their passage to the main event on May 11 2024, while Georgia, Greece, Armenia, Norway and Austria also earned the hallowed final.

While much talk was surrounding the performances of Klein with “Europapa” and the balancing act that Nemo brought to the semi-final, a lot of discussion was centred around Estonia’s entry, a wild combination of hip-hop meets “zombie folk” music. 

If that wasn’t enough to get people talking, Sweden’s “humbragging” song apologising for winning so many times during the interval while votes were being counted saw a surprise cameo from one of 2023’s most beloved entries: Käärijä, who performed an abbreviated version of “Cha Cha Cha.”
