Overnight, the Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR revealed details about the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest.
The all-important stage design plus branding and ticketing details were unveiled.
The stage
Florian Wieder has designed the stage for 2025, the ninth time he has done so.
He previously designed 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2024.
He took inspiration from the Swiss mountains and their language diversity with a design tailored for the audience.
"Our goal was to create a revolutionary stage concept – a holistic experience that we've never seen before at Eurovision," he said.
"Thanks to the immersive stage layout, the audience will get to be part of Eurovision like never before."
Brand and visual design
Art direct Artur Deyneuve is behind the visual design with inspiration from Swiss direct democracy.
The guiding theme is listening with Deyneuve saying: "If we listen to one another, we find love."
The EBU said that: "The pulsating Eurovision hearts have therefore become a core element of the design, representing the millions of people unified by the Eurovision Song Contest, to listen and celebrate together."
The accompanying audio that we'll hear throughout the contest features old and new elements.
Pulsating beats (again represented by the heart) are accompanied by yodelling and traditional Swiss instruments.
The slogan United By Music remains.
