The 69th edition of the ever-popular Eurovision Song Contest will be held in the magnificent city of Basel, Switzerland. The Alps are a fantastic backdrop for the most colourful and diverse music competitions in the world. With 38 total entries and only 26 spots available in the final, only the very best songs can make the cut. It’s bound to be hot on the 13th-17th of May, when Eurovision 2025 finally gets underway.

The first of the two semi-finals will take place on the 13th of May at St. Jakobshalle, Basel. The final list of participants is still a mystery, but you will find the information here once the draw is held on the 28th of January. Usually, representatives from around 15-16 countries take part in a single semi-final. Last year (2024), some strong performers, like Croatia and Ukraine, advanced from the first semis. Voting is available to all participating countries.
