Previewing the second half of Eurovision 2024 Semi Final 1

Thought the first half of this year’s Semi Final 1 was tough? Try the second half… and try to work out who will get through to the Grand Final!

Michael and Io run through the other eight songs in contention for a spot on Saturday night, including Australia’s very own Electric Fields.

You can watch the semi final live on SBS and SBS On Demand from 5am AEST on Wednesday 8 May (and remember to vote) or via the primetime replay on Friday 10 May at 7:30pm AEST.

What new word has Io learnt?

Which girl bop does Michael choose?
