Preparations for Eurovision 2025 are already underway in Switzerland, and of course, the first phase is finding the right city to host the Contest. Read more
Switzerland’s national broadcaster SSR SRG kicks off proceedings for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest today in Bern.
A working group has already been formed and is due to hold its first meeting on the details of the competition.
So far three cities in Switzerland have expressed their intention to host Eurovision 2025. As we informed you yesterday with our article (here), the first city that has expressed interest is Geneva. Basel and Saint Gallen followed later who also wish to host the European competition.
Conradin Cramer, president of the canton of Basel-Stadt, said that “Basel is ready” and that “it would be wonderful and an honor if Basel could host the next edition of this world-famous song contest for Switzerland.” Their strategy will be based on three main arguments – infrastructure, accessibility and hosting. Cramer made no direct reference to any specific arena or hall that could host the contest.
Herzliche Gratulation an Nemo zum grossartigen Sieg beim #ESC2024 in Malmö! Nun wird die Schweiz den #ESC2025 austragen. Als Austragungsort eignet sich #Basel hervorragend. Und wir sind parat: mit unserer Infrastruktur, Erreichbarkeit und Gastfreundschaft. #ESC2025Basel

Christine Bolt, head of the Olma agricultural exhibition in eastern Switzerland, supports holding the Eurovision Song Contest in Saint Gallen. “Now we are in demand,” he told Swiss broadcaster SRF, adding that the new Olma Hall would be perfect for such events. The new Olma Hall was inaugurated at the beginning of March and offers space for up to 12,000 people.
The decision on the city that will host Eurovision 2025 is expected in September.

The next country to conduct its second rehearsal is Switzerland represented by Nemo and the song “The Code”.
Born in 1999 and coming from Biel, a small Swiss town, music has always played an essential role in Nemo’s life, considering they have been playing the violin, piano and drums ever since they were a child. Their career sparked in 2016, after they went viral, and until this day, Nemo’s music has gained traction with occupying several high positions on the Swiss charts.
Nemo’s songs revolve around gender identity, mental health and finding one’s place in this world, themes which are also showcased on their Eurovision entry “The Code”.
Time for Switzerland’s Nemo to rehearse now – they are a musician, singer and songwriter with a big following in Switzerland. The Code is a mix of rap, drum ‘n’ bass and opera, and we’ve seen over pre-party season that Nemo has the vocal range to deliver all three.
Nemo is wearing the same outfit as in the first rehearsal made of pink and white fur (with matching fur boots!), and their main prop is a white circular platform two or three metres in diameter. It tips and pivots in all directions – Nemo climbs it, slides down it, dances on it, jumps off it – the whole thing is a showcase of balance, precision timing and codebreaking ambition.

The next country to take the stage for its first rehearsal is this year’s bookers’ favorite, Switzerland, that is represented by Nemo and their song “The Code”!

The video for this track gave us hope that Nemo might bring something super-creative to the Eurovision stage, and they have NOT disappointed – Nemo is wearing an outfit made of pink and white fur (with matching fur boots!), and their main prop is a white circular platform two or three metres in diameter. It tips and pivots in all directions – Nemo climbs it, slides down it, dances on it, jumps off it – the whole thing is a showcase of balance, precision timing and codebreaking ambition.
Not something we’ve EVER seen at Eurovision before – welcome to the show, Nemo fans.

Just like last year, some time before the first rehearsals of the countries, the show called “A Little Bit More” aired on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.
So, for all this time before the rehearsals, Eurovision TV will upload different performances of the artists, like different versions of their songs, or covers of songs from other artists.

Switzerland could become the venue for Eurovision Song Contest 2025, according to Yves Schifferle, head of delegation of the SRF, to the Contest. We remind you that Nemo represents the country in this year’s Competition and is currently the top favourite to win.
Yves Schifferle expressed enthusiasm for the course of “The Code” in the betting odds, but remains reserved:
“The whole team is really happy about this support, it gives us a boost. It’s still five weeks until the competition and a lot can change before then. We are now concentrating on the performance, rehearsing and still have a lot to do before Malmö”
In addition, he revealed that initial discussions have already begun for a possible event hosting next year, saying:
“We will contact cities that could potentially host the ESC. Cities with large halls and good infrastructure are eligible, for example Zurich, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne or Basel.”
In the end, he referred to the high costs involved in such a large event:
“A strong partner city is needed that undertakes a significant portion of the costs and services. You also receive a financial contribution from the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) and ticket and sponsorship is generated.Producing the biggest music show in the world has a big impact on budget and resources.However, other broadcasters in Europe faced similar challenges and found ways to finance this major event.”
The statements of the Swiss head of delegation show that Switzerland wants and is ready to achieve their third victory after their last one back in 1988 with Céline Dion and the song “Ne partez pas sans moi”.
Nemo is going to participate in the fourth spot of the Second Semi-Final of 9th of May.
