The organizers of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, SVT and the EBU, have revealed the running order for the Grand Final, which takes place on May 14 in Stockholm.

The running order was proposed by the producers of show (SVT) and approved by the EBU Executive Supervisor, Jon Ola Sand and by the Chairman of the Reference Group, Dr. Frank-Dieter Freiling.

Azerbaijan's representative at Eurovision 2016 Samra Rahimli will perform her song 'Miracle' under the number four.

The 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm is going to be the biggest contest for years with 43 participants, equaling the record set in both 2008 and 2011.
