7 artists announced for 'Luxembourg Song Contest' 2025

After its big-scale inaugural edition became instant event television for Eurovision fans at the start of the year, new national final on the block Luxembourg Song Contest will return for a second outing in 2025, choosing Luxembourg's entry for Basel.

The pre-selection debuted in January 2024, to coincide with Luxembourg's return to the Eurovision Song Contest after 31 years of not taking part.

Luzac

Originally trained as an educator, Luzac's passion for music emerged early on with violin lessons. Immersed in the world of urban pop, he began his career writing and composing primarily for other artists. However, the release of his debut single J’y arriverai in 2021 marked a turning point, as he shifted focus to his own music. Since then, he has dedicated himself to songwriting and publishing, all while building momentum for his first album.

The group features Luxembourgish members Mael Fontana, Leopold Strauβ, and Angela Aguilera Caballero; Spanish bassist Diego Lucero; Hungarian guitarist Zakar Lörinc; and Cuban-Hungarian vocalist Carmen Carbonnell Suarez.
