Fifteen acts will compete in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2025 as it gets under way in Basel this evening. But with only ten spots available in Saturday’s Grand Final, not everyone will make it through.
The show opens with Iceland’s rowing-inspired anthem RÓA and closes with Cyprus’s Theo Evan performing Shh.
Fan favourites Sweden, represented by comedy trio KAJ with Bara Bada Bastu, and the Netherlands’ Claude with C’est La Vie, are also among tonight’s contenders.
