Armenia: Depi Evratesil 2025 Takes Place Tonight!

After a five-year hiatus, Armenia is once again choosing its Eurovision representative through a national final, with the highly anticipated Depi Evratesil 2025 set to light up our screens tonight. As excitement builds, all eyes turn to Yerevan, where twelve talented acts will battle it out for the coveted ticket to Basel, Switzerland, and the honor of representing Armenia at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest this May.

The Finalists – Who Will Represent Armenia in Basel?

A total of twelve artists are set to take the stage tonight, each bringing their unique style and sound in hopes of winning over both the public and the juries. The full lineup is as follows:

1. PARG – “Survivor”
2. SEVAGIR – “Falling”
3. Anahit Adamyan – “Tiny Little Boo”
4. Mels – “Losing“
5. Simon – “AY PAPAREY BYE“
6. Flora Bichakhchyan – “Prayer“
7. Gevorg Harutyunyan – “Hey Man“
8. Altsight – “Dare to Dream“
9. Anahit Hakobyan & GASOlIA – “Wild“
10. Arsen Grigoryan feat. Kamil – “Will You Marry Me?“
11. Milena Mirijanyan – “Romantic Net“
12. Athena Manoukian – “DaQueenation“

One of the standout names in the lineup is undoubtedly Athena Manoukian, a familiar face to Eurovision fans. She was the winner of Depi Evratesil 2020 and was set to represent Armenia in Rotterdam 2020 before the contest’s cancellation due to the pandemic. Will she finally get her moment on the Eurovision stage?

Voting System – How the Winner Will Be Chosen

The winner of Depi Evratesil 2025 will be decided through a combined voting system. The Armenian public will have a significant say, contributing 50% of the final result. The remaining 50% will come from two jury panels: one domestic and one international, each accounting for 25% of the final outcome. This system ensures a balance between local support and international appeal, giving the chosen entry the best possible chance at success in Basel.

Hosts and Special Guests – A Night Full of Surprises

Bringing the energy and charm to tonight’s show are Aram MP3 and Ani Khachikyan.

• Aram MP3, who represented Armenia at Eurovision 2014 with the haunting ballad “Not Alone”, secured an impressive 4th place in Copenhagen. His return as a host adds an extra layer of excitement for fans.
• Joining him is the charismatic Ani Khachikyan, a beloved actress and TV presenter known for her wit and stage presence.

But the night doesn’t stop there! Eurovision fans are in for a treat with special performances by two iconic Armenian artists:

• Brunette, who enchanted audiences with “Future Lover” at Eurovision 2023, and
• Malena, who brought glory to Armenia by winning Junior Eurovision 2021 with the unforgettable “Qami Qami”.

A Look Back – Armenia’s Eurovision Journey in 2024

Last year, Ladaniva represented Armenia with their folk-inspired entry “Jako”, capturing the hearts of viewers across Europe and securing a well-deserved 8th place in the grand final—the country’s first top-ten finish in eight years! Can this year’s winner build on that success and bring Armenia even closer to its first-ever Eurovision victory?
