The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is just around the corner. The iconic St. Jakobshalle venue in the Swiss city of Basel has begun welcoming the artists who will compete this year for their individual rehearsals. All of them have arrived in the host city to finalize the details of their stage performances ahead of the live shows, which will take place on May 13, 15, and 17.
After kicking off rehearsals on Saturday, May 3, the Eurovision 2025 stage continues to welcome participants. On Sunday, May 4, St. Jakobshalle opened its doors to Norway, Belgium, Azerbaijan, San Marino, Albania, the Netherlands, Croatia, and Cyprus—participants in the first semifinal.
Each delegation was given 30 minutes to run through several rehearsals on stage, marking their first interaction with the performance setup. Unlike in previous years, the European Broadcasting Union has chosen to release only three images per country as a visual preview of these initial rehearsals.
