The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to take place in Basel, Switzerland, from May 13 to 17. Preparations are underway, with the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG) working diligently to ensure a successful event.

Ticket sales are expected to begin before Christmas, although exact pricing remains undisclosed.

The event, which attracts around 160 million viewers worldwide, poses a significant organizational challenge due to the need to collaborate with 30 to 40 countries.

Basel's government has approved a budget of 37.5 million Swiss Francs to support the event, covering infrastructure, security, and other logistical needs.

The SRG is also seeking local partners to assist with production elements like stage construction and lighting.

The event aims to showcase Switzerland's unique cultural aspects beyond its well-known chocolate and banking industries.
