Ten more acts have officially secured their place in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, following a spectacular Second Semi-Final live from Basel’s St Jakobshalle.
Thursday night’s show had it all: yoga balls, a magic blender, a towering microphone prop – and of course, music that spanned genres, moods, and languages. It was classic Eurovision chaos in the best possible way.
And now, with the votes counted and confetti swept, we know the final 10 names joining Saturday’s big show.
Second Semi-Final Qualifiers – In Order of Announcement
These ten countries will now compete for the coveted crystal microphone trophy in the Grand Final:
• 🇱🇹 Lithuania | Katarsis – Tavo Akys
• 🇮🇱 Israel | Yuval Raphael – New Day Will Rise
• 🇦🇲 Armenia | PARG – SURVIVOR
• 🇩🇰 Denmark | Sissal – Hallucination
• 🇦🇹 Austria | JJ – Wasted Love
• 🇱🇺 Luxembourg | Laura Thorn – La Poupée Monte Le Son
• 🇫🇮 Finland | Erika Vikman – ICH KOMME
• 🇱🇻 Latvia | Tautumeitas – Bur Man Laimi
• 🇲🇹 Malta | Miriana Conte – SERVING
• 🇬🇷 Greece | Klavdia – Asteromáta
The lucky ten now move on to Saturday night’s Grand Final, where they’ll face fierce competition from the First Semi-Final qualifiers, the Big Five (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and host country Switzerland.
A Fond Farewell to the Non-Qualifiers
While only ten could advance, every artist brought their own magic to the Eurovision stage. These six acts may not be moving forward, but they’ve etched themselves into Eurovision history:
• 🇦🇺 Australia | Go-Jo – Milkshake Man
• 🇲🇪 Montenegro | Nina Žižić – Dobrodošli
• 🇮🇪 Ireland | EMMY – Laika Party
• 🇬🇪 Georgia | Mariam Shengelia – Freedom
• 🇨🇿 Czechia | ADONXS – Kiss Kiss Goodbye
• 🇷🇸 Serbia | Princ – Mila
How the Results Were Decided
The Second Semi-Final results were determined entirely by televote, with the public having the final say. Votes poured in from the 16 competing countries, as well as from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and viewers in non-participating nations across the globe.
Grand Final Draw: Where Will They Perform?
As the show wrapped, each qualifier drew scrolls to determine their position in Saturday’s running order: First Half, Second Half, or the wildcard Producer’s Choice, giving Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR the option to place the act wherever they see fit.
It’s a key moment that can shape the entire Grand Final flow — and potentially the result.
What’s Next?
With all 26 finalists now confirmed, attention turns to the Grand Final on Saturday 17 May. Who will capture Europe’s heart and take home the trophy? With a line-up this strong, it’s anyone’s guess.
