EUROVISION.TV REPORTS / ITALY – The Semi-Final Allocation Draw will take place on Tuesday 25 January at 12:00 CET live from Palazzo Madama e Casaforte degli Acaja (Madama Palace), Turin, alongside a ceremony which sees the Host City Insignia pass from previous hosts Rotterdam to our Italian friends.
The Allocation Draw will determine whether countries participate in the First Semi-Final (Tuesday 10 May at 21:00 CEST) or the Second Semi-Final (Thursday 12 May at 21:00 CEST). Also randomly allocated is whether a country will perform in the first or second half of the Semi-Final theyโve drawn.
The draw will be hosted by television presenters Carolina di Domenico and Gabriele Corsi. In attendance will be the Mayor of Rotterdam Ahmed Aboutaleb and the Mayor of Turin Stefano Lo Russo.

Italy, as the Host Country, along with the other 4 members of the so-called โBig 5โ participating countries (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) do not compete in the Semi-Finals but their domestic audiences do get to vote in one of themโฆ so before the competing countries are allocated a place in a Semi-Final, it will be randomly determined which of the Semi-Finals the Big 5 will each be allowed to vote on.
The next part of the draw will determine in which Semi-Final and in which half of the respective Semi-Final the other 36 participating countries will perform in.
The 36 semi-finalists are picked from 6 different pots.
