Get the party started

Whether that's a pre-party or a post-party (and honestly, why now both?), is up to you. But there's only one option when it comes to the soundtrack - Eurovision hits! Eurovision Non-Stop Hits, to be precise.

Playing out all through Eurovision 2025, this 24/7 stream on our YouTube channel will be pumping out all the hits, all the time. From those hits you saw climbing the Eurovision scoreboard, to the smash hits that took over the charts across the globe and, of course, a generous sprinkling of the "it was a hit in this household" classics. The fan faves are out in force here!

Your hosts and guests

As is Eurovision Song Contest tradition, our reigning champion Nemo will return to the Eurovision stage to remind us exactly why they took home that trophy in 2024, when they won with The Code . The Eurovision-winning song will serve as the Grand Final's Opening Act, while their new song Unexplainable will be one of the show's interval numbers.

The Grand Final in Basel will also welcome some past Swiss participants to sing for Europe once more. Paola (1969 and 1980), Peter, Sue & Marc (1971, 1976, 1979 and 1981), Luca Hänni (2019) and Gjon’s Tears (2020 and 2021) have been invited to take part in a special performance that celebrates Switzerland’s Eurovision heritage.

A few other famous names will be taking to the stage in Switzerland, including two recent fan favourites – Croatia's Baby Lasagna of Rim Tim Tagi Dim fame and Finland's Käärijä, who competed in 2023 with Cha Cha Cha. Both acts took second place at the Contest, but the two certainly won the hearts of viewers and now they've been invited back to hit the Eurovision stage in the country where it all began.

They'll perform their Eurovision hits, as well as new collaboration #eurodab.

According to Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR, the choice of the host trio for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 symbolises the values that define Switzerland: openness, diversity, multilingualism and a sense of togetherness. During the show, the trio will not only aim to celebrate Europe’s diversity, but also to bring the true values and spirit of Switzerland to the stage – a country known for its openness, integration and community.
