Questions were raised in the press centre today when the Big 5-countries didn’t draw their running order (or first half / second half) for the final at their press conferences. 

Now I’ve gotten notice of this being done at tonight’s red carpet event outside of Euroclub. 

Sietse Bakker, event supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest just texted me the following information:

”Big 5 draw at the red carpet with the EBU crew on the carpet. Normally we did this on Wednesday, but since not all 5 do their conference today we moved it. Surprises are fun!”
