The 2005 Semi Final was held on Thursday 19 May 2005 and the final on Saturday 21 May 2005. The reason for the Thursday Semi Final instead of Wednesday could be something to do with the football on 18 May 2005 (Which never happened!)
The full list for the final is shown at the bottom of this page.
It will be held at the Sports Palace (Palats Sportu), Kiev, Ukraine.
Ukraine Television is talking about an Orchestra for the 50th contest but never happened. The last contest to have a Orchestra was in Birmingham, United Kingdom in 1998. (May not happen)
