A few words about tonight’s show

Tonight’s show started with an explosive act, which included three Eurovision superstars, who may not have won Eurovision but won people’s hearts instead. We’re talking about Elena Foureira, Eric Saade and Chanel, who all performed their Eurovision entries.

For the first time, the BIG 5 and the host country performed live in the semi-finals. Hence, tonight the following countries performed:

1. United Kingdom: Olly Alexander – “Dizzy“
2. Germany: ISAAK – “Always On The Run“
3. Sweden: Marcus & Martinus – “Unforgettable“

Johnny Logan, also, appeared on stage and performed “Euphoria”, Loreen’s winning entry from 2012. It was an act of great importance, as both Johnny Logan and Loreen are the only performers in Eurovision history having won twice.

Benjamin Ingrosso, a former Swedish participant as well as one of Sweden’s biggest stars, took the stage of Malmö Arena, where he performed some of his hits.

The allocation regarding in which half will the qualifiers perform in the Grand Final, comes next, so stay tuned…
