With 13 countries returning disgraced to their homelands after failing to make it through the semi-finals, the final list and running order for 2015 Eurovision Song Contest has been revealed.

27 nations will meet on stage in Vienna on 23 May as the contest celebrates its 60th anniversary: that's right, Eurovision is as old as the reign of Queen Elizabeth, both gracing the international stage with an equal amount of pomp, ceremony and sparkle.

The biggest news this year is that Australia, the land down under, are competing in the contest for the first and only time - unless they win, of course.

Moldova, the Netherlands, Finland, Macedonia, Belarus, Denmark, Ireland, San Marino, Portugal, Czech Republic, Iceland and Switzerland all bowed out in the semi-finals, making the final contest look like this:

1. Slovenia
2. France
3. Israel
4. Estonia
5. United Kingdom
6. Armenia
7. Lithuania
8. Serbia
9. Norway
10. Sweden
11. Cyprus
12. Australia
13. Belgium
14. Austria
15. Greece
16. Montenegro
17. Germany
18. Poland
19. Latvia
20. Romania
21. Spain
22. Hungary
23. Georgia
24. Azerbaijan
25. Russia
26. Albania
27. Italy

The plan is for there to be a break after Austria sings in 14th place. Two favourites to win this year are in the first half of the final: Sweden have been the bookies' best bet for glory, while Australia take 12th position. Russia and Italy, two potential winners, close out the show in 25th and 27th place.

Graham Norton will host the UK coverage of the final on Saturday, which will start at 8pm on BBC One.
