Confirmed Entries for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest

This year, the much-anticipated Eurovision Song Contest will take place in the vibrant city of Basel, Switzerland. The excitement is palpable as music enthusiasts from across Europe and beyond gear up for one of the most colorful, inclusive, and competitive events in the music calendar. This follows Switzerland’s memorable victory in 2024 with the captivating performance of “The Code.”

The 2024 contest was particularly historic as it celebrated the first win by a non-binary artist, Nemo, who wowed audiences from Malmö, Sweden, with an unforgettable show. As Eurovision continues to champion diversity and artistic expression, 2025 is set to be another thrilling chapter in its storied history.

In Basel, anticipation builds as each of the 38 participating countries prepares to hold national qualifying rounds. These competitions will determine which songs and artists will represent their nations on the grand stage. Notably, Montenegro marks its enthusiastic return after a two-year hiatus, already announcing their representative, Nina Žižić, a seasoned performer who previously graced the Eurovision stage in 2013.

The grand event will unfold over three spectacular nights, with semi-finals scheduled for May 13 and 15, leading to a grand finale on May 17. These dates are circled on the calendars of Eurovision fans worldwide, who eagerly await the diverse array of performances. The draw, which will take place on January 28, will decide the allocation of countries in the semi-finals. The 'Big Five'—the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy—along with the host nation Switzerland, enjoy automatic spots in the final.
