Eurovision Semi Final 2 Preview

The second semi-final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest takes place tonight in Stockholm.

The first semi-final was held on Tuesday night in The Globe Arena with ten out of eighteen countries qualifying for the grand final on Saturday night along with the host country Sweden and the 'Big 5'.

Ireland's hopeful Nicky Byrne takes to the stage tonight with his song 'Sunlight' in a bid to secure a place in the final for the first time in years. Nicky checked in with KC from Stockholm last week and told us how he was feeling.

Nicky is up against stiff competition tonight but we're hopeful that his profile from his Westlife days will be the saving grace along with the catchy Sunlight! You can catch tonight's semi-final on RTE2 at 8pm.

Here's who Nicky will be competing against:

Latvia

Switzerland

Israel

Belarus

Serbia

FYR Macedonia
