This year’s Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Basel, following Switzerland’s victory in 2024 with “The Code”.
Singer Nemo became the first non-binary artist to win the camp, glitzy competition, when it was held in Sweden’s coastal city Malmƶ.
Each of the 38 countries will soon be holding national qualifying contests to choose the songs and artists to represent them, with Montenegro ā who are set to return to the stage after a two-year absence ā announcing their artist already. Nina ŽižiÄ, who previously participated in 2013, will have another chance to nab the crown.
The two semi-finals will take place on 13 and 15 May, with the final on 17 May.
The draw on 28 January will decide which of the two semis each country will participate in, although the Big Five ā UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy ā have an automatic spot in the final, alongside the Swiss hosts.
