Who has qualified for the Eurovision 2025 Grand Final so far?
Here's who will be battling out for the win on Saturday night's live show.
The Eurovision Song Contest is upon us and already countries are being knocked out of the running as the semi-finals kick off.
With just 20 places available in the Grand Final on Saturday night in Basel, Switzerland, the heat is on for the acts to put their best foot forward and secure those all-important votes.
First stop is the semi-finals: with tonight's (13th May) first heat securing 10 countries their place in the big show.
They will join last year's winners Switzerland, as well as the 'Big Five' – France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom – in the final fight.
Unfortunately, that does mean that some acts have been eliminated, and will go home empty-handed.
So who can we expect to perform on Saturday night? Here's how the finale line-up looks so far.
