Luxembourg: Details for the Songwriting Camp!

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A songwriting camp took place in Luxembourg the past few days, as the Grand Duchy has started the search of its participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025!

According to the country’s national broadcaster RTL, Rocklab organized the camp in Esch-Belval to help artists produce songs that could compete in next year’s Eurovision. The camp was led by Greig Watts, an experienced A&R representive who organized the first ‘Eurovision Camp’ in the Netherlands in 2015.

The Grand Duchy returned to Eurovision this year after a 31-year hiatus and created the Luxembourg Song Contest as a new national final for the country. Several of the performers who competed in this year’s competition were among the 20 artists accepted into the camp.

Joel Marques, CHAiLD, Edsun, Naomi Ayé, Krick and many members of One Last Time participated, along with other Luxembourgish talents. At the camp, each of the artists had to write and produce a song for Eurovision within eight hours. The artists were assisted by international music producers and songwriters.

One of the songwriters who came to Luxembourg for the camp was Linda Dale – who knows how to write a winning song. Dale was one of the composers behind “The Code”, Eurovision winner Nemo for Switzerland this year in Sweden.

However, it is unclear whether these songs were written specifically for the Luxembourg Song Contest. In addition, the artists selected to participate in the camp will not necessarily be in the LSC lineup – a decision has yet to be made on who will compete in next year’s national final.

All the same, there is a chance that one of the songs produced at the camp will be Luxembourg’s next Eurovision entry. At the camp, Dale told the artists in attendance that “it’s important to always say yes to the ideas that come up at a camp like this, because that’s how ‘The Code’ was born.”
