Eurovision 2025: A Musical Spectacle in Basel

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to dazzle audiences from around the world as it takes center stage in Basel, Switzerland. This year's theme, "Welcome Home," pays homage to the contest's origins, as Switzerland hosted the very first Eurovision in 1956. 

A total of 37 countries are competing, with Montenegro making a return after a brief hiatus, while Moldova has withdrawn due to financial and logistical challenges. The grand final will take place on Saturday, May 17, at St. Jakobshalle, an indoor arena in Basel. 

Among the most anticipated performances is the UK's entry, Remember Monday, a country-pop trio performing their song What The Hell Just Happened. Switzerland, as the host nation, will be represented by Zoë Më with the song Voyage. 

With a mix of seasoned Eurovision veterans and fresh talent, the competition promises to be a thrilling showcase of musical diversity. Fans can tune in to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for live coverage, or listen via BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds. 

Who will take home the coveted trophy this year? The world will soon find out as the Eurovision magic unfolds in Basel!
