Azerbaijan to perform in second Eurovision 2010 Semifinal + FULL LIST

In the beginning of February, the Semi-Final Allocation Draw was held where it was determined in which Semi-Final the 34 participating countries would perform, in addition to the already qualified finalists France, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany and Norway.

As part of the draw, it was also determined if those countries will perform in the first or second half of the respective Semi-Final, so that each delegation already knows exactly on which day they are expected in Oslo for the rehearsals in May.

The excitement in Oslo at the Heads of Delegations peaked today at 15.00 CET when the Draw of the Running Order began. All countries got their exact starting positions. You can see the show (again) on-demand in our ESCTV player. Enjoy!
