Wales: EBU responds to the call for Eurovision participation!

The European Broadcasting Union responds to the call for Wales to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Initially, a petition was submitted to the Senedd, which is the country’s legislative body, and specifically to the petitions committee, entitled “Prepare a bid for Wales to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest”.

Specifically, the petition reads the below:

“Wales is known around the world as “The Land of Song”, and we have a rich culture of music and performance which is recognised and celebrated internationally. Wales should have the opportunity to be represented at Eurovision as a nation in its own right. Therefore, we call on the Welsh Government to work with S4C and other relevant bodies to prepare a bid for Wales to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest.”

In 2024, the winner of the Cân i Gymru contest, Sara Davies, from Ceredigion, said that it “doesn’t make sense” that Wales “shouldn’t be allowed to compete as our own nation and that we should go as part of the United Kingdom.” The Plaid Cymru party had also prepared a Eurovision entry, which was part of its manifesto ahead of the 2024 general election.

The European Broadcasting Union responded regarding the Welsh request, which states the following:

“Participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, and other Eurovision live events, is limited to public broadcasters which are members of the European Broadcasting Union. While S4C in Wales is a valued member of the EBU and has taken part twice in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and once in Eurovision Choir, the BBC has taken part in the Eurovision Song Contest since 1957 and represents the whole of the United Kingdom at the event. As the BBC continues to participate, and remains the rights holder in the United Kingdom, this means an entry from the individual nations of the UK is therefore not possible at the Eurovision Song Contest.”

  • Semi-Final 1: February 8
  • Semi-Final 2: February 15
  • Grand Final: February 22

The show will be hosted by Benedikt ValssonGuðrún Dís Emilsdóttir, and Fannar Sveinsson.

This year, each semi-final will feature five songs, with three advancing to the grand final. Unlike previous editions, where five entries competed in the final, six songs will battle for victory this year.

Additionally, the previous format of a two-song superfinal, where the winner was determined solely by public voting, has been retired. The winner—and Iceland’s Eurovision 2025 representative—will now be determined through a 50/50 combination of public votes and an international jury comprising seven members.
