Who is performing in the Eurovision 2019 interval with Madonna?

In April it was revealed that Madonna will perform at this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

It was believed that the singer, 60, was paid a reported $1million by Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams for the performance.

Eurovision's executive supervisor and Norwegian broadcaster Jon Ola Sand made the announcement on May 16, confirming that Madonna - despite initial confusion regarding her contract - will be performing during the Grand Final.
He revealed: "We are pleased to finally confirm that the incomparable music icon Madonna will join us at this year's Eurovision Song Contest. We know that it will be an evening to remember and can't wait to share it with everyone watching."

The following acts will also be putting on a show during the interval:

Other notable people who will be taking to the stage during the intermission are Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot, musical group Idan Raichel Project and mentalist Lior Suchard.

The decision to host the song contest in Israel - after the country's entry last year, Netta, won the competition - has been met with controversy.

Peter Gabriel, 69, Vivienne Westwood, 78, and Roger Waters, 75, were among 50 British cultural figures to sign an open letter asking the BBC to push the organisers on moving the competition to another country.
