Unlike the 2015 edition which had no semi-final stage , because of the withdrawals from from the contest due to the international relations between the Russian Federation and Turkey in 2015 , the 2017 edition was to consist of one semi-final and a grand final taking place on 29 and 31 August 2017 , but was cancelled on 20 October 2017 . For the 2019 contest , there is likely to be two semi-finals and a grand final , with host country Turkey to proceed straight to the grand final . It is currently unknown if the participating countries will still send the songs they would 've competed with had the previous contests not been cancelled or if they will submit new songs
