Luxembourg: Laura Thorn in Switzerland for the Eurovision 2025 Postcard Filming!

Luxembourg’s representative for 2025, Laura Thorn, shared on her Instagram that she has arrived in Switzerland! The singer is in Switzerland to film the postcard that will be shown before she performs on the Eurovision stage with “La Poupée Monte Le Son” to represent the country in the competition this upcoming May.

Specifically, Laura Thorn, without revealing too much, mentioned that the postcard was filmed in Switzerland, but not in Basel, in a highly snowy landscape.

For the first time since 2019, the postcards for the competition are being filmed in the host country, unlike the last five years where artists were shown in locations and landmarks of the host country, sent clips from their own country, or were featured alongside previous entries from their country.

The postcards showcase landmarks and attractions of the host country, giving viewers a chance to get to know it a little better. They also serve to maximize the time for stage preparation before each performance. It’s worth noting that postcards were introduced to the competition in 1970 and have evolved significantly since then!

As a reminder, Luxembourg will compete in the second half of the second semi-final of Eurovision 2025 on Thursday, May 15.

Junior Eurovision 2024: Luxembourg to broadcast the contest live for the first time!

In a delightful development, Luxembourg’s national broadcaster, RTL, will make history by airing the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest live on November 16. This marks the first time RTL will broadcast the event, even though the country has not yet participated in the competition.

RTL Zwee has officially scheduled the Junior Eurovision 2024 in its broadcasting for November 16, complete with commentary in Luxembourgish by Raoul Roos and Eric Lehmann. This broadcast signals a significant return for Luxembourg to Eurovision events, especially following its re-entry into the adult contest after a three-decade absence. Could this be a precursor to Luxembourg’s potential debut in the Junior Eurovision in the near future? Only time will tell…

More countries will broadcast the contest

In addition to Luxembourg, other non-participating countries will also air the contest. Lithuania and Montenegro are set to join Luxembourg in broadcasting the event, along with Croatia, a founding member of the contest and its first ever winner in 2003. These countries may be looking to reintroduce their audiences to the children’s contest, gauging interest for a possible return the next years.

It’s worth noting that countries like Cyprus and San Marino have also returned to the competition after several years away, indicating a growing interest in the Junior Eurovision format across Europe.

Luxembourg: Details for the Songwriting Camp!

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.”
