Basel 2025

The 69th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Basel, Switzerland after Nemo brought the country victory at Malmö 2024 with their song The Code. 

It will be the third time that Switzerland has hosted Eurovision, after the inaugural edition of the Contest came to us from Lugano in 1956 and the 1989 Contest was hosted at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne.
