Eurovision 2025 will be hosted by American-Swiss poet and comedian Hazel Brugger, Swiss-Italian TV show host and former model Michelle Hunziker and Swiss singer and TV show host Sandra Studer on May 17 in Basel, Switzerland.
The final will see 26 acts perform in a bid to win the Eurovision Song Contest, as Switzerland representative Nemo did last year with his winning track 'The Code', ultimately resulting in this year's contest being held in their homeland.
While Graham Norton will commentate the final of Eurovision for UK viewers, the actually ceremony, held in an arena called the Jakobshalle, will be hosted by Hazel, Michelle and Sandra, a hosting line-up which is said to have been selected as a symbol of values that define Switzerland; openness, diversity, multilingualism and a sense of togetherness.
