Ireland has made it through to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest - for the first time since 2013.
Former Britain's Got Talent star Ryan O'Shaughnessy progressed to the next stage after singing his ballad Together, about the end of a love affair, at the first semi-final in Lisbon.
The UK, as one of the "Big Five" countries, is already assured a place in Saturday's grand final and is represented by singer-songwriter SuRie with the song Storm.
Australia's Jessica Mauboy will perform We Got Love in the second semi-final, kicking off at 5am (AEST) on Friday.
With seven victories, Ireland is the most successful country at the contest, but finished in last place at the final in 2013.
Israel also made it through and led the way when it came to the most eccentric performances, with its singer Netta Barzilai "clucking like a chicken" and being dubbed 'Bjork on steroids' during her performance of Toy.
Finland's former X Factor contestant Saara Aalto also made through to the final.
The finals start at 5am (AEST) on Sunday.
