Shortly after the conclusion of the second semi-final the production team for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest came together to determine the official running order for Saturday’s Grand Final.
The Running Order for the Final
While the running order may appear completely random, there is a method behind the madness. Prior to the announcement all of the finalists drew one of three scrolls from a bowl – 1st Half, 2nd Half, or Producer’s Pick – which decided where in the running order they could be placed. If a country selected “Producer’s Pick” then they could be placed anywhere in the running based on the needs of the production team, and what would make each performance have a “moment”.
As a reminder, host country Sweden drew their performance slot to open the show at the Head of Delegation meeting earlier this year.
