The wait is over. The Second Semi-Final results are in, and the Eurovision 2025 Grand Final line-up is now complete. Let's take a look at who made the cut.


The Eurovision 2025 Second Semi-Final came to us live from St Jakobshalle in Basel, and the show did not disappoint. We were gifted a high energy night complete with yoga balls, a magic blender, and a giant microphone. Everything we've come to expect from Eurovision, really!

And now, we finally know who'll be making it through to Saturday night's Grand Final...

It's auf wiedersehen to all the other Second Semi-Final 2025 artists. They might not be performing in Saturday's Grand Final – but they've secured their positions in the Eurovision hall of fame. It's never really goodbye once you've been on the Eurovision stage.

Qualifier or not, everyone put on an incredible show. We'll be playing everyone on repeat on our playlists, and keeping an eye on where the future takes them.

If your favourite got through, don't forget to vote for them in the Grand Final. And if your top artist didn't quite make it this time, you can support them in other ways. Join them on social media, or keep an eye out for new music and shows. And who knows, maybe they'll be back another year.

Missed the show? We've got something to fix that. Catch up on our YouTube channel (if available in your region) or via the catch-up service of your national broadcaster .


Grand Final Draw

The excitement didn't end when the live broadcast finished. The qualifiers paused their celebrations for one more reveal – the decision on which half of the Grand Final running order they'll perform. Would it be First Half? Second Half? Or the wild card – Producer's Choice? In this final option, the host broadcaster SRG SSR gets to make the choice.

There's only one way to make all these decisions, and that's a good old-fashioned draw from a bowl of scrolls.

Here's how it went down:

Getting the result

The result of the Second Semi-Final was entirely down to you at home. The decision was made up entirely of televotes, which took place during the live broadcast. Votes came in from the 16 participating countries; the United Kingdom, France, and Germany; and countries that don't participate in Eurovision.

The Grand Final line-up is now complete, with the 10 qualifiers from the Second Semi-Final joining their First Semi-Final qualifying peers. And of course, the artists from the Big 5 countries and host country Switzerland.

Tune in on Saturday 17 May to find out who will take the trophy.
