Ho ho ho! Eurofans, Santa has arrived early this year with a big bag of Eurovision goodies! Today’s media press conference in Basel, Switzerland, delivered some juicy revelations about Eurovision 2025. From the theme to the stage design and ticketing details, here’s everything you need to know to fuel your excitement for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest!
The Theme: Unity Shapes Love
Eurovision’s 2025 theme, crafted by the Art Director Artur Deyneuve, is ‘Listening’. Rooted in the Swiss tradition of direct democracy, the concept reflects the power of understanding and unity. Deyneuve shared, “If we listen to one another, we find love.” And that’s the inspiration behind 2025’s mantra: Unity Shapes Love.
This heartfelt concept comes to life in the logo: a kaleidoscope of iconic Eurovision hearts beating together, synchronized to the rhythm of music. It’s a visual representation of millions of people uniting through the universal language of music. And yes, it perfectly complements Eurovision’s enduring slogan: United by Music.
The audio identity of this theme is pure magic. It’s a fusion of Switzerland’s past and present, blending modern techno vibes with traditional Swiss sounds like yodeling, the Hackbrett (a hammered dulcimer), and the resonant tones of the alphorn. It’s Switzerland in stereo—traditional, modern, and oh-so Eurovision!
The Stage: A Peak Experience
The stage for the 69th contest is inspired from Switzerland’s majestic mountain landscapes and its rich linguistic diversity. Designed by Eurovision’s stage maestro Florian Wieder (this will be his 8th masterpiece!), the stage promises to be both visually stunning and deeply symbolic. Expect breathtaking visuals that capture Switzerland’s natural beauty and cultural essence, while giving each performance its own peak moment.
