WHO IS IN THE EUROVISION 2024 FINAL? ALL 25 COUNTRIES AND SONGS IN RUNNING ORDER

It’s finally time for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. 25 countries will perform live in Malmo, Sweden for a shot at the crown.

Since Tuesday, 31 countries have been battling it out for a spot in the Grand Final, with the finalised running order now decided after a tense week of semi-finals.

Sweden is hosting the tournament for the first time since 2016 and exactly 50 years since Scandinavian pop sensations Abba won the contest in 1974.

If you haven’t managed to make it to Malmo for the musical festivities, you can follow it all live on BBC One on Saturday night from 8pm, with Graham Norton taking us through the night.

In light of recent news, Dutch artist Joost Klein will no longer represent the Netherlands at tonight’s Grand Final due to an ongoing ‘legal process’ following an incident on Thursday night.

Here’s your guide to the running order for the final.
