Basel, a vibrant city nestled in northwestern Switzerland near the borders of France and Germany, will host Eurovision 2025. Renowned as Switzerland’s architectural capital Basel boasts iconic buildings designed by world-class architects, making it a fitting backdrop for the world’s most celebrated music competition. This marks third time Switzerland has hosted Eurovision, but the first for Basel.
Switzerland’s Eurovision legacy began in 1956 when Lugano hosted the inaugural event, with Lys Assia claiming victory with her song Refrain. The country hosted again in 1989 in Lausanne following Céline Dion’s win with Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi. This year, Basel takes the stage after Nemo’s 2024 triumph with their song The Code, bringing the competition to a city celebrated for its cultural and architectural richness.
