Netta predicts the host city of Eurovision Song Contest 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

With only a few hours left until the announcement of the host city for Eurovision 2025, there is a tradition that has been built up over the last few years, and we couldn’t miss out.

We’re talking about Eurovision 2018 winner, Netta. Fans of the contest are now relying on her, to know which city won’t host the Contest, having predicted it wrong every time.

It is now a tradition to wait for Netta’s decision on the respective host city. Netta’s previous (wrong) predictions were:

  • For 2019 she predicted Jerusalem, in the end the host city was Tel Aviv
  • For 2021 she predicted Amsterdam, in the end the host city was Rotterdam
  • For 2022 she predicted Rome, in the end the host city was Turin
  • For 2023 she predicted Manchester, in the end the host city was Liverpool
  • For 2024 she predicted Stockholm, in the end the host city was Malmö

This year, a day before the official announcement, Netta posted a video announcing her prediction:

@netta This time I’m getting it right #eurovision ♬ original sound – Netta Barzilai

The two candidate cities are Geneva and Basel. With Netta choosing Geneva, it’s only natural that the Contest will take place in Basel. There are only a few hours left until the announcement, and let’s see if Netta guesses wrong for the sixth time!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The winners of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, Nemo, will visit Ukraine for the first time to perform an exclusive program. It will take place as part of a European tour in early spring.

MUZVAR reports that it was announced during the Atlas United festival. The show is to take place at the Atlas concert hall on March 7, 2025.

“From the stage of the Atlas United festival, we announced that the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 Nemo will give a concert in Kyiv. The show will take place at the Atlas club in spring. In addition to their own tracks, Nemo are intrigued by a joint track with alyona alyona and Jerry Heil, which will be presented at the concert too,”

However, the artists haven’t commented on this yet, and their official tour schedule doesn’t include Ukraine. Moreover, it starts in Cologne, Germany, on March 16. On June 12, Nemo published a schedule of upcoming concerts in Europe and noted that they were working on visiting Greece and Ukraine.

Ticket sales are already available on Ukrainian booking services, and prices start from 1300 to 5000 hryvnias.

It is known that Nemo promised to come to Ukraine during the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. In particular, they built a very warm relationship with the Ukrainian representatives Jerry Heil and alyona alyona. They went to breakfast together and created covers. Nemo expressed admiration for the Ukrainian women even during the Eurovision 2024 preparations.

“I can’t believe it! I am a fan of yours. You have touched my heart,”

A possible collaboration between Nemo and Jerry Heil and alyona alyona exists only in the form of rumors. Back at the opening of the music show in Malmö, they commented on the trio’s future.

“Who knows, maybe we’ll do something. We don’t know, maybe we’ll create something.”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Municipal Council of Zürich passed two motions in favour of the sumbition of a bid for the hosting of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest!

On Wednesday 12th of June, the Municipal Council of Zürich passed two motions sumbitted by the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland (Sozialdemokratische Partei der Schweiz– SP) and the Green Liberal Party of Switzerland (Grünliberale Partei der Schweiz – GLP) in favour of hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. In their proposals both parties pointed out the positive financial effect as well as the positive impact on the image and the promotion of the city due to Eurovision.

Marco Denoth, a member of the council representing SP, stated:

“We want to show that the Council is behind the event.”

On the other hand the Swiss People’s Party opposed the two motions as it considers Eurovision as a chauvinistic event.

These two motions are about to be submitted to the City Council of Zürich, which will decide if the two motions are adopted. The city mayor Corine Mauch and the council are said to be in favour of hosting Eurovision 2025. If the two motions are adopted, Zürich will be able to officialy submit an official hosting bid.

Eurovision 2025: Bern and Biel/Bienne Considering Joint Bid to Host!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Bern and Biel/Bienne Municipal Councils are considering a joint bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. The de facto capital of Switzerland Bern as well as the birthplace of this year’s Eurovision winner Nemo, Biel/Bienne are examining the possibility of hosting the Eurovision song contest at the Bernexpo Groupe Exhibition Center.

In a statement by the Biel Council, they said:

“Hosting the major event in Nemo’s home region is therefore a logical step and would be a great opportunity from the point of view of the cities of Bern and Biel. The ESC offers the venue enormous exposure and would fit in well with the diverse, open and bilingual capital region of Bern and Biel.”

The potential venue for the contest is Bern Festhalle, while Tissot Arena in Biel/Bienne will host other competition -related events.

The same statement also mentioned the following:

“The three partners will now jointly examine the detailed requirements dossier from the SRG in detail. In particular, it must be clarified whether the very high requirements for the venue can be met as part of an application. This involves issues such as security, logistics and the high costs that the venue will incur. The new festival hall meets the requirements of a modern event infrastructure and will be ready in time for the ESC to take place. 

A final decision as to whether an application will be submitted has not yet been made. This will be made within the application period until the end of June. The municipal councils of Bern and Biel as well as those responsible for the Bernexpo Groupe are convinced that the ESC would be a great celebration and a unique opportunity. They therefore hope that a joint application will be possible. At the same time, it is important to all those involved to only submit an application dossier if there is a real chance of being awarded the contract.”
