The Eurovision Song Contest 2025, one of Europe’s most celebrated music events, is set to return this May, with Switzerland taking on hosting duties. This year’s show will unfold at St. Jakob-Park in Basel, promising a spectacular stage and unforgettable performances. From how to watch to who’s performing, Streams Charts has all the key details you need to follow the competition.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will bring together 37 countries in a three-stage competition: two semi-finals, featuring 15 and 16 performers respectively, followed by a grand final. Twenty acts will advance from the semi-finals, determined by public voting. They’ll be joined by the “Big Five” (France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom) who automatically qualify each year, along with Switzerland, which earns a guaranteed spot as this year’s host nation.
