The 69th Eurovision Song Contest is starting to take shape, and it's a particularly mountainous shape, at that!

At a press conference in Basel, Switzerland, on Monday 16 December, the Project Team for Basel 2025 presented the visual concept for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest and launched the registration process for tickets.

Tickets 

The Swiss ticketing platform TicketCorner is the official ticketing partner for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest.

Visual and Audio Brand Identity

The visual and audio brand identity for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest has been developed by Art Director Artur Deyneuve. His aim was to create a design that made people feel heard and valued. Inspired by the Swiss tradition of direct democracy, which revolves around listening and dialogue, Deyneuve chose 'listening' as the central guiding theme of the whole branding concept, calling it 'Unity Shapes Love'. 

Deyneuve says: 

"If we listen to one another, we find love." 

This message will also be conveyed visually through the iconic Eurovision heart symbol, which stands for dialogue, unity and the unifying power of music. The pulsating Eurovision hearts have therefore become a core element of the design, representing the millions of people unified by the Eurovision Song Contest, to listen and celebrate together.

Moritz Stadler and Reto Peritz, Co-Executive Producers of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest commented:

"Artur's well-thought-out design is emotionally engaging and takes Eurovision to another level. The Eurovision heart beats in time with the rhythm, symbolising the unifying power of music. True to the Eurovision slogan 'United by Music', it will bring people together all over the world."

The audio identity that accompanies Basel 2025 combines the traditional and the modern. It is based on a powerful beat, sprinkled with some traditional elements of Swiss music: yodelling, the distinctive sound of a Basel drum corps, and the unmistakable music of the Hackbrett and alphorns. 

Art Director Artur Deyneuve elaborates: 

"We've created a bold, high-energy track, which will prepare the audience for an unforgettable experience with its pumping beats and surprising musical effects."

The Basel 2025 stage

The stage design for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest has been inspired by Switzerland's mountains and diversity.

Florian Wieder, the Production Designer with Swiss roots, is overseeing the Eurovision stage design for the eighth time. For this year's event at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Florian reveals that he has taken inspiration from the Swiss mountains and the country's linguistic diversity: 

"Our goal was to create a revolutionary stage concept – a holistic experience that we've never seen before at Eurovision. Thanks to the immersive stage layout, the audience will get to be part of Eurovision like never before."

Reto Peritz and Moritz Stadler, the Co-Executive Producers are enthusiastic about a design which is set to be unmistakably Swiss: 

"In Florian Wieder, we have a Stage Designer on board who is a creative visionary and who knows Switzerland like the back of his hand. He has succeeded in creating a 'signature stage', which will forever be associated with Eurovision in Switzerland." 

The Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, Martin Österdahl, shares host broadcaster SRG SSR's enthusiasm for the unveiling of Basel 2025's look:  

"I am thrilled to see the incredible creative elements coming together for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. From the visually stunning stage design, inspired by Switzerland’s mountains and diversity, to the vibrant artwork that embraces the Eurovision heart – SRG SSR have presented a modern, original, and exciting look for Basel 2025. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to SRG SSR and all the designers for their outstanding work and dedication so far. Together, we are set to deliver a spectacular event that will unite audiences everywhere through the power of music."

Viewing Event in Basel

In addition to the Grand Final happening at the St. Jakobshalle, there will also be an 'Arena Plus' public viewing area happening on the evening of Saturday 17 May.

Basel's legendary football stadium St. Jakob Park (known locally as 'Joggeli') will play host to the big event. As well as screening the Grand Final, the evening also promises an extensive programme of entertainment. Further details will be announced in due course.
