Each country competing in the semi-finals took part in an allocation draw back in January – which determined which semi-final they would participate in and whether they would perform in the first or second half of the show. As well as semi-finalists, all Automatic Qualifiers were also drawn into one of the semi finals. From there, the show producers decided the order in which they will perform. This system has been in place since 2013.
