Earlier today in Basel, the EBU and Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR held a media briefing, where changes to the semi-final qualifiers sequence have been introduced.
The new format was meant to increase the excitement in the semi-final results section and give more attention to the artists (instead of the hosts).
The new format will apply for this year only (at the moment)
The New Format
- The first 9 qualifiers will be announced as follows:
- Each time, we will see 3 artists on a split screen.
- One of them will be announced as a qualifier
- The remaining 2 acts will have to wait until the next time they are on the split screen. That doesn’t mean they won’t qualify.
- No country will appear more than 3 times on the screen
- The 10th qualifier will be announced out of the remaining acts
The pilot will be executed in the rehearsals for the semi-finals
Eurovision 2025 will be held in Basel, Switzerland on the 13th, 15th, and 17th of May 2025.
