Italy: The stage for Sanremo 2025 has been revealed!

/0 Comments/in , /by

RAI has unveiled the stage for Sanremo 2025, which will be ready to welcome the 34 artists from February 11 to 15.

The stage has been designed by Riccardo Bocchini, who was also the designer for Sanremo 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Riccardo Bocchini explains that the stage was designed with the concept “The elegance of simplicity and harmony”:

A 360-degree stage capable of changing appearance and proposing different atmospheres for each song, with simplicity that hides the complexity of a project that combines graphics and lighting, technology and “engines”. It will rotate in three dimensions, all with a minimalist design, aiming for the purity and elegance of the visuals: the elegance of a harmonious stage that will embrace the audience, conveying emotions, and the elegance of the form that, through electromechanical movements, will transform to serve the songs, even disappearing completely.

A Techno-Party hall that extends, along with the orchestra on the sides, towards the audience and hides many surprises:

The detail, plasticity, and elegance of the architectural lines will embrace the technological mechanisms with their harmonious movements. The entirely innovative video and stage lighting systems will be primarily at the service of the television images: “visual games” will greet the audience. The “Tecno Lampadari”, “Sipari”, and “Tende tecnologie” will descend from above, and the “Scala” will move in various technological configurations.

Sanremo 2025 Festival Program

  • First Night: All artists will perform their songs – the Top 5 will be revealed in random order.
  • Second Night: Half of the artists will perform their songs – the Top 5 will be revealed in random order.
  • Third Night: The remaining artists will perform their songs – the Top 5 will be revealed in random order.
  • Fourth Night: The night of covers, where artists will perform in duets. The results of this night will not be included in the main competition.
  • Final Night: All artists will perform their songs. The Top 5 from the combined semi-final rankings will reach the Superfinal, where each artist will perform their song again. The juries and the public will vote again to determine the winner.

Representation at Eurovision 2025

If any of the participants (along with their record labels) wish to compete in Eurovision 2025, they must fill out a special form before the start of the final night, Saturday, February 15.

If the winner of Sanremo has signed this form, they will automatically be considered Italy’s representative for the competition. If they decide not to participate, the Sanremo organizing committee will select an artist from those who have signed the form, according to its own criteria, possibly regardless of the final ranking.

Although originally scheduled to take place from February 4 to 8, the festival has been postponed and will now be held from February 11 to 15.

Eurovision 2025: The director of the show defends the accessibility of the Tickets.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The number of tickets for Eurovision 2025 in Basel has caused tension among internet users and contest funs. In particular, there have been complaints on social media that there were no ticket packages available for OGAE national team members, while others have shown their dissatisfaction with the application process via ticketing platform Ticketcorner. The event director defended the number of tickets available for persons with disabilities this year. As Martin Green said, referring to the St. Jakobshalle, with a maximum capacity of 12,400 people :

 

I checked in with the organisers about this. It is a smaller arena, there’s no doubt about that, but the balance with what they’re doing with other places around the city is good.

The director also mentioned other venues where activities around Eurovision will take place, such as a 34,000-seat stadium next to the arena for “Arena Plus” and the Eurovision Village, which will be indoors, making it more accessible for many, which is an important move. In addition, Eurovision 2025 organizers have confirmed that to make the show accessible to all, induction loop systems, audio description and speech-to-text conversion services for hearing and visually impaired fans will be available.

We should say at this point that tickets are on sale from January 29 on Ticketcorner.

Eurovision 2025: This year’s postcards’ shooting has started!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The filming of  Eurovision 2025 postcards has already begun, with Czechia having filmed theirs in the last few days.

This year’s Czech representative, Adonxs, revealed via his social media that he travelled to Switzerland to shoot his postcard. However, the theme of this year’s postcards has not yet, been revealed.

The postcards have been used in the Eurovision Song Contest since 1970 and provides time to set up the stage, for each performance. Over the years, the postcard has evolved from being used to advertise the host country to being able to introduce more information, about the participants.

Last year’s postcards had a drastically smaller carbon footprint, while at the same time offering viewers a much more personalised greeting from the performer, as well a celebratory glimpse back through each country’s rich Eurovision Song Contest history:

The 69th Eurovision Song Contest is going to take place in the second/third week of May. The first semi-final will take place on Tuesday the 13th of May, the second semi-final on Thursday the 15th of May and the grand final will take place on Saturday the 17th of May.
