Where will Eurovision 2025 take place? Possible cities
After Switzerland won the 2024 contest, Geneva authorities showed interest in hosting the Eurovision 2025 at Palexpo and submitted an application. On the same day, Basel’s government president, Conradin Cramer, also expressed interest in hosting the event. On May 12, Olma Hall in St. Gallen was proposed as a venue.
On May 13, Lugano, which hosted in 1956, decided not to bid, and Bern’s cantonal government president, Phillipp Müller, expressed reluctance due to concerns about rising antisemitism in the contest.
Meanwhile, Zürich’s council held a priority meeting to discuss a bid. On May 14, Lausanne, the 1989 host city, ruled out a bid due to insufficient infrastructure. On May 15, Biel/Bienne, Nemo’s hometown, declared interest in co-hosting the event. On May 17, Fribourg’s local government announced they were considering a bid. On 5 June, the Basel-Stadt government confirmed that it would bid, proposing St. Jakobshalle and St. Jakob-Park as possible venues. On 6 June, Biel/Bienne and Bern’s municipalities announced a potential joint bid. On 12 June, St. Gallen announced that it would not submit a bid due to not meeting the requirements to host the event.
The host broadcaster SRG SSR launched the bidding process in the week of 27 May 2024, by issuing a list of requirements for interested cities. Those cities will have until the end of June to prepare their bids, and the selected host city is expected to be announced by the end of August.
