From the alphorn to the avant-garde – the ESC 2025 is bridging the gap between traditional and modern. True to the motto «United by Music», the opening and interval acts of the ESC 2025 will bring together musical genres and perspectives – with unexpected surprises and a mixture of Swiss identity and international pop culture.
A powerful homage to the Swiss ESC history was announced today in Basel as the first of many more national and international interval acts. Paola, Peter, Sue & Marc, Luca Hänni and Gjon’s Tears will come together on stage for the first time to sing a medley celebrating Switzerland’s musical ESC legacy. Tribute will also be paid to the historical moment that made all of this possible: Nemo’s impressive win in Malmö in 2024, which brought the ESC back to Switzerland.
More acts and surprises will be announced successively on the SRG and Eurovision social media channels. The detailed show concept can be found here.
More details on the ESC 2025 opening and interval acts will be unveiled in due course.
