Winning song Austria
"Wasted Love"
2024 ← Eurovision Song Contest → 2026

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 was the 69th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Basel, Switzerland, following the country's victory at the 2024 contest with the song "The Code" by Nemo. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), the contest was held at St. Jakobshalle, and consisted of two semi-finals on 13 and 15 May, and a final on 17 May 2025. The three live shows were presented by Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer, with Michelle Hunziker joining for the final.

Broadcasters from thirty-seven countries participated in the contest, the same number as the previous two editions. Montenegro returned after a two-year absence, while Moldova, which had originally planned to participate, later withdrew due to economic reasons and the quality of the songs competing in its national selection. Israel's participation continued to cause controversy in the context of the Gaza war, with some participating broadcasters calling for a discussion on the issue.

The winner was Austria with the song "Wasted Love", performed by JJ and written by him along with Teodora Špirić and Thomas Thurner. Austria won the combined vote and jury vote, and placed fourth in the televote. Israel (which won the televote), Estonia, Sweden and Italy completed the top five. The EBU reported that the contest had a television audience of 166 million viewers in 37 European markets, an increase of three million viewers from the previous edition.[7]

Location

St. Jakobshalle, Basel – host venue of the 2025 contest

The 2025 contest took place in Basel, Switzerland, following the country's victory at the 2024 contest with the song "The Code", performed by Nemo. It was the third time that Switzerland had hosted the contest, having previously done so for the inaugural contest in 1956 and the 1989 contest, held in Lugano and Lausanne respectively. The selected venue for the contest was the 12,400-seat St. Jakobshalle, which serves as a venue for indoor sports and concert events.[8] The arena is located in the municipality of Münchenstein in Basel-Landschaft, right by the border with Basel-Stadt.[9]

The Messe and Congress Center Basel complex hosted several events related to the contest. It was the location of the Eurovision Village, which hosted performances by contest participants and local artists as well as screenings of the live shows for the general public; and the EuroClub, which hosted the official after-parties and private performances by contest participants.[10] The "Turquoise Carpet" event on 11 May 2025 began at the Basel Town Hall and ran through the Middle Bridge, with the contestants and their delegations being presented before accredited press and fans, before ending at Messe Basel, where the opening ceremony was held.[11][12] St. Jakob-Park held a screening of the final along with performances by four previous Eurovision entrants,[b] with entry charged for the public; the stadium was also featured on the live broadcast.[14][15][16] The Eurovision Street was located at Steinenvorstadt.[17][18]

Bidding phase

After Switzerland's win in the 2024 contest, the local authorities of Geneva expressed their interest in hosting the 2025 edition at Palexpo and submitted a formal application.[19][20] On the same day, the president of the Basel-Stadt government, Conradin Cramer, also expressed interest in Basel hosting the 2025 event.[21] On 12 May, Olma Hall in St. Gallen was proposed as a potential venue.[22][23]

On 13 May, Lugano, which hosted the inaugural contest in 1956, ruled out a bid to host in 2025.[24] The president of Bern's cantonal government Philippe Müller expressed his reluctance to host the contest in the de facto Swiss capital,[25] but the cantonal government itself later announced its support in organising the event in Bern.[26] Meanwhile, Zurich's city council held a "high priority" meeting to discuss a bid.[27][28] On 14 May, Lausanne, which hosted the 1989 contest, ruled out a bid to host in 2025, citing a lack of infrastructure.[29] On 15 May, Biel/Bienne declared its interest to be associated with and co-host the event.[30] On 17 May, the local government of Fribourg stated that it was examining a potential bid.[31] On 5 June, the Basel-Stadt government confirmed that it would bid, proposing St. Jakobshalle and St. Jakob-Park as possible venues.[32] On 6 June, Biel/Bienne and Bern's municipalities announced a joint bid.[33][34] On 12 June, St. Gallen announced that it would not submit a bid due to not meeting the requirements to host the event.[35]

The host broadcaster, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), launched the bidding process on 27 May 2024, by issuing a list of requirements for interested cities.[36] Basel, Bern, Geneva, and Zurich officially declared their interest and finalised their bids on 28 June.[37][38] Representatives from the host broadcaster visited the four bidding cities in early July,[39][40] and shortlisted Basel and Geneva on 19 July.[41] On 30 August, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and SRG SSR announced Basel as the host city, with St. Jakobshalle as the chosen venue.[42][9] A referendum was held in November 2024 within the Basel-Stadt canton to approve the expenditure for organising the contest, which passed with the support of 66.6% of voters.[43]

Eurovision Song Contest 2025 – Participation summaries by country
A group of participating artists of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 at the Eurovision in Concert pre-party event in Amsterdam, April 2025[52]

Eligibility for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with an EBU membership that is capable of receiving the contest via the Eurovision network and broadcasting it live nationwide. The EBU issues invitations to participate in the contest to all members.

On 12 December 2024, the EBU initially announced that broadcasters from 38 countries would participate in the 2025 contest, including Montenegro, returning after a two-year absence.[53] On 22 January 2025, Moldova announced its withdrawal, citing economic reasons and the quality of its national final, thereby reducing the number of participating countries to 37.[54]

The contest featured two returning artists for the same country: Justyna Steczkowska had previously represented Poland in 1995,[55] and Nina Žižić had appeared with Who See for Montenegro in 2013.[56] Steczkowska's return 30 years after her first appearance broke the record for the longest gap between two participations by the same artist, which was previously held by Anna Vissi with a gap of 24 years between her entries for Cyprus in 1982 and Greece in 2006.[57]

Other countries

The EBU member broadcasters in Andorra,[99] Bosnia and Herzegovina,[100] and Slovakia[101][102] confirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU. North Macedonian broadcaster MRT discussed a potential return of the country to the contest, in response to an email from Eurovision fans urging the broadcaster to do so in October 2024;[103] North Macedonia ultimately did not appear on the final list of participants for 2025. Kosovar broadcaster RTK's general director Shkumbin Ahmetxhekaj sent a formal letter to the EBU in June 2024, requesting an invitation for Kosovo to debut in the contest in 2025;[104][105] this was rejected by the EBU's General Assembly in July 2024.[106][107]

Production and format

SRG SSR's mobile radio booth at the Eurovision Village in Messe Basel

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 was produced by the Swiss national broadcaster SRG SSR.[108] The core team consisted of Reto Peritz and Moritz Stadler as executive producers,[108] and Yves Schifferle as head of show. Repeating their function from the previous edition were Christer Björkman as head of contest, Tobias Åberg as head of production, and Robin Hofwander and Fredrik Bäcklund as multi-camera directors,[3][4] with other production personnel including Nadja Burkhardt-Tracol as head of event, Manfred Winz as head of finance, Aurore Chatard as head of security, and Kevin Stuber as head of legal.[109][110] The theme art and background music's creation are overseen by art director Artur Deyneuve.[111]

The contest's organisation was restructured for 2025; this was announced by the EBU on 1 July 2024, following a review into the controversies of the 2024 contest.[112] Two new positions were created: the ESC director and the commercial director, filled by Martin Green (managing director of the 2023 contest) and Jurian van der Meer, respectively;[6][113] Green would oversee the work of executive supervisor Martin Österdahl and Van der Meer.[114][115] In response to the circumstances that led to the disqualification of the 2024 Dutch entrant Joost Klein from that year's final, from 2025 onwards, no behind-the-scenes filming of the artists would be permitted without prior approval from their delegations' head of press.[116] A set of conduct rules and duty of care guidelines was codified and made mandatory for all personnel working in the event.[117]

The preliminary budget was estimated to be at CHF 61 million (€65.2 million), with the Executive Council of Basel-Stadt contributing CHF 35 million (€37.3 million), SRG SSR contributing CHF 20 million (€21.4 million), and the EBU contributing CHF 6 million (€6.4 million).[118]

Visual, sound, and stage design

The stage in the arena

On 16 December 2024, SRG SSR unveiled the theme art and stage design for the 2025 contest. The theme art, designed by the London-based agency Not Wieden+Kennedy and named "Unity Shapes Love", was built on variably-coloured miniatures of the "Eurovision heart" being arranged to emulate the halftone pixelation effect, symbolising millions of people unified by the Eurovision Song Contest, to listen and celebrate together.[119][120] The theme music, produced by MassiveMusic and titled "See You Radiate", featured nods to Swiss traditional music and is adaptable for future editions.[121][122] Devised for the second year in a row by German production designer Florian Wieder, who had previously designed the sets of seven previous contests, the stage was inspired by Switzerland's mountains and linguistic diversity, highlighted by a central extension that extends into the standing audience area and surrounded by an LED arch.[111][123]

Lumo, mascot of the 2025 contest

On 26 February 2025, SRG SSR unveiled a mascot for the 2025 contest, in a first for the event since 1992. Named "Lumo" and designed by Lynn Brunner of the Basel Academy of Art and Design [de], it is an anthropomorphic heart shape with orange curly hair.[124]

Postcards

The "postcards" were short video introductions shown on television while the stage is being prepared for the next entry. Filmed between January and April 2025 and directed by Luca Zurfluh of Zurich-based production company Dynamic Frame, the postcards featured the competing artists taking part in local activities across Switzerland.[125][126][127] The following locations were used for each participating country:[128][129]

Presenters

The Swiss comedian Hazel Brugger and singer Sandra Studer – who represented Switzerland in 1991 – were announced as the presenters of the 2025 contest on 20 January 2025, and they hosted all three shows of the event; Swiss-Italian television presenter Michelle Hunziker joined them for the final.[2] Jan van Ditzhuijzen and Tanja Dankner provided commentary for the "Turquoise Carpet" and opening ceremony events, with Joël von Mutzenbecher [de] welcoming the competing artists at the start of the carpet and Odette Hella'Grand [de] interviewing them at the end of the route.[130] The public screening of the final at St. Jakob-Park was hosted by Sven Epiney and Mélanie Freymond [fr], both of whom also announced the points of the Swiss jury from the stadium.[131]

Semi-final allocation draw

Results of the semi-final allocation draw:
  Participating countries in the first semi-final
  Pre-qualified for the final but also voting in the first semi-final
  Participating countries in the second semi-final
  Pre-qualified for the final but also voting in the second semi-final

The draw to determine the participating countries' semi-finals took place on 28 January 2025 at 12:30 CET, at the Kunstmuseum Basel Auditoriuum.[132][133] The thirty-one semi-finalists were divided over five pots, based on historical voting patterns, with the purpose of reducing the chance of bloc voting and increasing suspense in the semi-finals. The draw also determined which semi-final each of the six automatic qualifiers – host country Switzerland and "Big Five" countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) – will vote in, be required to broadcast, and perform its entry in a non-competitive capacity.[132][134] The ceremony was hosted by Jennifer Bosshard and Jan van Ditzhuijzen,[135] and included the symbolic transfer of duties from Carina Nilsson, the president of previous host city Malmö's council, to Conradin Cramer, the president of the Basel-Stadt government.[136] The host city insignia, which had traditionally been used since 2007, was replaced by a dress gifted by Nilsson to Cramer,[137] the first "friendship gift" that would replace the host city insignia from this year.[138]

Flag policy

See also: Eurovision Song Contest 2024 § Enforcement of flag policy

The flag policy was updated for 2025, with competing artists allowed to display only their representative country's flag in official capacities – including onstage, in the green room, Turquoise Carpet, and the Eurovision Village. On the other hand, the policy overturned a previous ban for the audience, allowing the display of any flag permitted under Swiss law, including pride flags, Palestinian flags, and the flag of Europe.[139][140][141] While accepting the policy, Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS stated that it would push for changes for the following year's contest;[142] the broadcaster had earlier met with LGBTQ+ advocacy group COC Nederland, which called the ban on pride flags for competing artists "outrageously ridiculous".[143][144] Glenn Micallef, the European Union (EU)'s cultural commissioner, also criticised similar restrictions on displaying the EU flag for competing artists.[145]

Contest overview

Changes to the process of revealing the semi-final qualifiers were implemented with this year's edition. For the first nine qualifiers, countries would be called in sets of three via split-screen, with one progressing to the final at a time. The final qualifier would then be announced while the hosts are onscreen.[146]

Semi-final 1

The first semi-final took place on 13 May 2025 at 21:00 CEST.[147] Fifteen countries competed in the first semi-final. Those countries plus Italy, Spain and Switzerland, as well as non-participating countries under an aggregated "Rest of the World" vote, voted in this semi-final.[148] The running order (R/O) was determined by the contest producers and was announced publicly on 27 March. In addition to the competing entries, Spain, Italy and Switzerland performed their entries during the show, appearing on stage after the entries from Estonia, Belgium and Croatia, respectively.[149]

This semi-final was opened by a troupe of dancers, yodelers and alphorn players performing Swiss-style renditions of four previous winning songs: "Tattoo" (2023), "Arcade" (2019), "Waterloo" (1974), and "The Code" (2024). The interval acts included "Made in Switzerland", a musical number performed by presenters Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer which highlights and satirises Swiss stereotypes and inventions, with an appearance by Petra Mede, who had previously hosted the contest in 2013, 2016 and 2024; and four former entrants from 2024 – Greece's Marina Satti, Ukraine's Jerry Heil, Portugal's Iolanda, and Lithuania's Silvester Belt – performing the 1988 Swiss winning entry "Ne partez pas sans moi", preceded by a pre-recorded message from the song's original performer, Céline Dion. Jørgen Olsen [dk], who won for Denmark in 2000 alongside his brother Niels Olsen [dk], performed that year's winning song "Fly on the Wings of Love" after the qualifiers were announced, with lyrical changes referencing the contest's permanent slogan "United by Music".[150][151][152]

Those countries plus France, Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as non-participating countries under an aggregated "Rest of the World" vote, voted in this semi-final.[148] The running order (R/O) was determined by the contest producers and was announced publicly on 27 March. In addition to the competing entries, the United Kingdom, France and Germany performed their entries during the show, appearing on stage after the entries from Austria, Georgia and Israel, respectively.[149]

The interval acts included a presentation on Swiss punctuality backed by a dance troupe performing an interpretive routine titled "On Time"; and four former entrants performing their intended entries for the cancelled 2020 contest – Switzerland's Gjon's Tears with "Répondez-moi", Lithuania's The Roop with "On Fire", Azerbaijan's Efendi with "Cleopatra", and Malta's Destiny with "All of My Love". Co-presenter Sandra Studer performed the 1990 Italian winning entry, "Insieme: 1992", after the qualifiers were announced.[155][156][157]

Final

The final took place on 17 May 2025 at 21:00 CEST[147] and featured 26 competing countries. All 37 participating countries with jury and televote, as well as non-participating countries under an aggregated "Rest of the World" online vote, voted in the final. The running order (R/O) of the host nation was determined by a random draw on 17 March during the annual meeting of heads of the participating delegations.[159] The running order for the remaining finalists was determined by the contest producers following the second semi-final.[160]

The final was opened by Nemo performing their winning song in 2024, "The Code", followed by the flag parade, introducing all twenty-six finalists, backed by the Top Secret Drum Corps. In a break between the competing songs, co-presenter Sandra Studer performed a snippet of her entry for Switzerland in 1991, "Canzone per te", while co-presenter Michelle Hunziker performed a snippet of the Italian entry in 1958, "Nel blu, dipinto di blu". The interval acts included four former Swiss participants performing their competing songs: Peter, Sue and Marc with their 1981 entry "Io senza te", Paola with her 1980 entry "Cinéma", Luca Hänni with his 2019 entry "She Got Me", and Gjon's Tears with his 2021 entry "Tout l'univers"; Baby Lasagna, who represented Croatia in 2024, and Käärijä, who represented Finland in 2023, performing a mashup of their respective competing songs "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" and "Cha Cha Cha" followed by their new collaborative single "#Eurodab"; and Nemo performing their new single "Unexplainable".[161][162][163]

All fifteen countries competing in the first semi-final voted, alongside Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the aggregated Rest of the World vote. The ten qualifying countries were announced in no particular order, and the full results were published after the final was held.

Broadcasts

All participating broadcasters may choose to have on-site or remote commentators providing insight and voting information to their local audience. Although they are required to, at minimum, show the final and semi-final in which their country votes, most broadcasters cover all three shows. Some non-participating broadcasters also air the contest. The Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel provides international live streams with no commentary of all shows. According to the EBU, in total 166 million people watched at least a minute of the television broadcasts, while the YouTube broadcasts culminatively garnered 19.9 million views over a seven-day period. Votes were received from 146 countries, including the 37 competing countries.[7]

Controversies on Israeli participation

Due to the continuing Gaza war, Israel's participation in the contest remained controversial, with calls for the exclusion of the country from the event.[287] The Slovenian broadcaster RTVSLO submitted a demand for the EBU to exclude Israel,[288] while Spanish broadcaster RTVE, Irish broadcaster RTÉ, Icelandic broadcaster RÚV, and Flemish Belgian broadcaster VRT called for a wider discussion among EBU members regarding Israel's participation.[289][290][291] The EBU committed to a discussion regarding Israel's involvement "in due course",[292] but reiterated that it is "an association of public service broadcasters, not governments",[293] and that all EBU member broadcasters are eligible to compete.[294] 72 former Eurovision contestants signed a letter calling for Israel's exclusion, including former winners Charlie McGettigan and Salvador Sobral;[295] the previous edition's winner Nemo later issued their own call in support of excluding Israel.[296]

Following a complaint filed by the Israeli broadcaster Kan, the EBU warned RTVE that it would be fined if its commentators Tony Aguilar and Julia Varela "mention the Gaza conflict again", following their remarks ahead of Israel's performance in the second semi-final, where they mentioned the number of casualties of the war.[297] Ahead of the final, RTVE aired a message that read "When human rights are at stake, silence is not an option. Peace and justice for Palestine".[298] During the final, Israel's performance was met with some booing by the audience;[299] the Swiss host broadcaster SRG SSR replaced this in the television broadcast with pre-recorded applause.[300] Following his win, JJ stated that he would like the 2026 contest to be hosted "in Vienna and without Israel".[301]

Israel ultimately won the televote and finished in second place overall.[302] Following the contest, RTVE and VRT announced that they would request an audit on the televoting results in their countries, both of which gave their 12 points to Israel, with the former stating that other countries "would be joining them"; VRT additionally called for "full transparency" on the EBU's part, and that it would reconsider its participation in future editions, noting that the contest is "increasingly at odds with the original standards and values of the event, as well as those of public broadcasting."[303] RÚV and Walloon Belgian broadcaster RTBF issued statements in support of the decision.[304] Finnish broadcaster Yle stated it would ask the EBU to rework the televoting system "to avoid its abuse", but it would not emphasise Israel's role in the results;[305][306] Norwegian broadcaster NRK later came out in support of a review of the voting system.[307] Dutch broadcasters AVROTROS and NPO also joined calls for a wider discussion among EBU members regarding Israel's participation.[308] RTÉ later joined RTVE and VRT in requesting an audit on the televoting results.[309] Several parties alleged influence operations as a factor in Israel's high televoting score; the Spanish newspaper El País pointed to mobilisation campaigns by the Israeli government and several European far-right affiliated media outlets.[310] Some Belgian MPs also mentioned an influence campaign by Israeli authorities and questioned the country's participation,[311] while MPs from the Spanish left-wing alliance Sumar registered a proposal to demand a reform in the contest and the removal of Israel from it.[312][313] Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez also called for Israel's exclusion following the contest, saying that "double standards" were being applied by excluding Russia following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, but not Israel due to its conduct in the Gaza war, which has been characterised as genocidal.[314]

On 19 May 2025, Eurovision News Spotlight, a fact-checking and open-source intelligence initiative by the EBU, published an investigation which found evidence that the Israel Government Advertising Agency conducted a cross-platform advertising campaign on Google platforms and utilised official state social media accounts to encourage public support for Israel's entry in the contest, and provided instructions on how voters could cast all 20 of their allowed votes for Israel. As part of the investigation, Eurovision News Spotlight analysed a YouTube account created on 20 April 2025, under the username @Vote4NewDayWillRise. Between 6 and 16 May, the account published 89 videos, which collectively garnered over 8.3 million views. The analysis, conducted using open-source tools, found no evidence that artificial intelligence was used for the advertisements, suggesting that the Israeli representative Yuval Raphael was personally involved in the creation of the promotional videos.[315][316] The Israeli government had previously admitted to attempting to boost the public vote for the Israeli entry through a promotional campaign during the 2024 contest.[317][318]
