Past winners, also-rans to feature in interval acts

After her victory last year, the honor of opening the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest falls to Israeli singer Netta Barzilai. She will get the party started along with Israel’s previous Eurovision winner Dana International and Israel’s first ever Eurovision representative, Ilanit.

As has become a tradition since the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, the Grand Final will open with a flag parade to introduce the 26 competing entrants before the competition begins.

The interval act will be a “switch song” featuring former Eurovision winners and runners-up:

Conchita will sing Måns Zelmerlöw’s “Heroes” (Sweden 2015)

Måns Zelmerlöw will sing Eleni Foureira’s “Fuego” (Cyprus 2018)

Eleni Foureira will sing Verka Serduchka’s “Dancing Lasha Tumbai” (Ukraine 2007)

Verka Serduchka will perform Netta Barzilai’s “Toy” (Israel 2018)

At the end all four artists will join Gali Atari on stage to perform her 1979 winning song, “Hallelujah.”
