Just over 90 minutes left until Eurovision officially launches in Tel Aviv with the first of two semi-finals.

The show tonight will see 17 countries compete for 10 spots on Saturday’s finals.

The program begins at 10 p.m. local time (19:00 GMT) and will be available to live-stream here (though not in all regions).

Meanwhile, producers say Madonna, set to perform in the finals, is en route to Israel and set to land at 11 p.m.
