Why Eurovision 2025 will be a memorable event

And it promises to be a must-see!

The 2025 edition of Eurovision promises to be unmissable for several reasons:

• A return to Switzerland: The contest returns to the country that hosted the very first edition in 1956. After decades of absence, Switzerland - on the strength of its victory in 2024 with Nemo and his song “The Code” - will host the event in Basel, in the emblematic Halle Saint-Jacques. This location, at the crossroads of France, Germany and Switzerland, will facilitate access for European fans.

• A grandiose show: The organizers have promised “surprises” and “crazy ideas” to make this edition unique. With a substantial investment and an expected audience of over 160 million viewers, Eurovision 2025 will be a veritable festival of creativity and emotion.

• Musical diversity: The finals will feature 26 nations, with styles ranging from traditional pop and electro to emotional ballads and daring performances. This diversity is at the heart of the contest’s success.
