The Eurovision 2025 grand final has kicked off in Switzerland. This year’s contest is in Basel after 25-year-old Nemo won last year with their hit song “The Code.”
Twenty-six countries are competing at the St Jakobshalle arena. Norway’s Kyle Alessandro, the youngest contestant this year, opens the show.
Eurovision never fails to deliver drama — from dramatic key changes and flaming stage sets to catchy, quirky song titles. It’s a show full of camp and spectacle.
Out of 37 acts who came to Basel, 26 made it to the final. Twenty were chosen by viewers in the semi-finals. Switzerland, as the host, and the "Big Five" countries — France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK — automatically qualified.
From the first semi-final on Tuesday, five countries were eliminated: Slovenia, Belgium, Azerbaijan, Croatia, and Cyprus.
From the second semi-final on Thursday, six countries didn’t make it: Australia, Montenegro, Ireland, Georgia, Czechia, and Serbia.
