With the running order for #Eurovision 2025 being released in just a couple of hours' time, Rory tries to predict how producers will decide the running order for Semi-Final 2. Do you agree with his picks? #ESC2025
Editorial: A Guess into Running Orders for Eurovision 2025 (Part 2: Semi-Final 2)
Running orders are particularly hard to draw, not just in Eurovision but in any competition. Organisers need to balance variety with style, while also considering that there is a show to run. In the context of Eurovision, running orders can also help or hinder you and your competition. Why are running orders so important? As mentioned, running orders can put you in good stead or ruin your chances depending on where you fall and what the songs on either side of you.
