With the much-loved Rim Tim Tagi Dim, Baby Lasagna finished in second place for Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, winning the public televote from Eurovision fans all over the globe. The song has now surpassed 56 million streams on Spotify and was in the Top 40 charts in many countries across the continent. After he was able to turn his Eurovision success into an extensive tour to see his new fans, the future looks bright for Baby Lasagna.

Charismatic and always ready to get a crowd going, DJ Antoine is guaranteed to set the right mood on the night with summer-ready hits such as Welcome To St. Tropez and Ma Chérie, the most successful Swiss music song of all time. The Swiss DJ has already worked with Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, Snoop Dogg, Madonna, Britney Spears and many more. Over 8 million albums and singles sold, as well as numerous awards won, make him the most internationally successful Swiss music export.

Anna Rossinelli made it to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf with her song In Love for a While, laying the foundations for a successful career. Since then, she has released 6 albums, topped the charts several times and also made a name for herself as an actress; for example, in the Swiss hit series Tschugger, where she played a federal policewoman. She was also a judge on The Voice of Switzerland and took part in the most recent season of Sing Meinen Song - Das Schweizer Tauschkonzert. Anna Rossinelli and her bandmates Manuel Meisel and Georg Dillier all hail from Basel and still feel deeply connected to their hometown today.
