During the first semi-final, representatives of two Big Five countries — Germany and Great Britain, as well as a representative of the host country — Sweden, presented their songs to the public. All of them, according to the rules of the song competition, automatically qualify for the grand final.

We will see the same out-of-competition performance from Spain, one of the Big Five, on Thursday, May 9, during the second semi-final. And today, May 8, Spanish electro-pop group Nebulossa will take part in two dress rehearsals, starting at 15:45 CET and 21:00 CET.

During the second dress rehearsal, the jury of each participating country, plus Spain, Italy and France, will vote for their favorites in the second semi-final. The results of this vote will only be used if there are technical problems with the televoting during the live broadcast of the semi-final on May 9.
