It is almost time for the semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland.


Semi-final 1 will take place on Tuesday 13 May at 21:00 CEST which is Wednesday 10 May at 5:00am AEST in Australia.


Let's take a look of the opening, interval and closing acts of semi-final 1 of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.


Opening acts


The opening act for semi-final 1 featured a troupe of 45 artists who presented a fusion of traditional and modern Swiss elements highlighting the country's heritage. This performance included renditions of winning songs Arcade (Netherlands 2019) and The Code (Switzerland 2024), featuring Swiss music styles of yodelling and alphorn.



Interval acts


Expecting Celine Dion? Well she appears... kinda.. but on-screen reminiscing about her 1988 win. However, we then see 2024 contestants Marina Satti (Greece), Silvester Belt (Lithuania), Jerry Heil (Ukraine) and Iolanda (Portugal) gather on stage to sing Celine Dion's winning song Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi.


Closing act


On the 25th anniversary of the Olsen Brothers winning for Denmark, we have a very special closing act of Jørgen Olsen performing the winning song Fly on the Wings of Love. (The other half of the Olsen brothers, Niels Olsen is receiving treatment for cancer and was too ill to perform).
