Grand Final

The 69th Eurovision Song Contest was held in Basel, Switzerland, at the St. Jakobshalle in May 2025. 37 countries competed, marked by the return of Montenegro. The shows were hosted by Hazel Brugger, Michelle Hunziker, and Sandra Studer. The event's motto was 'Welcome Home', celebrating Eurovision's return to its 1956 origins. Its brand identity, 'Unity Shapes Love', was inspired by Swiss dialogue and featured pulsating heart visuals. The stage design was influenced by Switzerland's mountains and diversity. Austria’s JJ won the contest with the song 'Wasted Love', earning 436 points and securing Austria's first victory since 2014. In second place was Israel's Yuval Raphael with 'New Day Will Rise' (357 points), while Estonia's Tommy Cash finished a close third with 'Espresso Macchiato' (356 points).
