L’Eurovision 2025 sera «un défi financier» pour la SSR, Palexpo est déjà sur les rangs pour l’accueillir - Le Temps

Le complexe genevois annonce avoir déposé sa candidature pour l’édition 2025. La SSR parle d’une démarche «très coûteuse» et compte sur une «ville forte» – autrement dit, qui ouvrira son porte-monnaie. Malmö a mis 2,4 millions de francs

Geneva is the first confirmed city to declare an interest in bidding for Eurovision 2025.

I would guess Geneva but Zurich is a great shout too.

Basel is the next city to declare an interest in bidding.

There isnt a venue specified, but id imagine it will be the St Jakobshalle that will be their choice, I believe it has a capacity of 12,400

Last Week I heard on SRF1 that Basle is a potential Host City.

Geneva have already nominated the Palexpo to host in 2025.

Basel have also expressed interest but have yet to nominate a venue.

 

[Edweis]

Given the size of the venues I would bet Geneva, Zurich or Basel.

Totally rooting for Geneva of course.

I think it will be in Geneva, it seems to me the biggest venue out of the ones nominated so far.

Either way, I definitely plan to finally attend my first Eurovision live next year.

 

[HarryUK]

I said I’d go back in 2025 but I can barely afford London so I’m fucked now that it’s in Switzerland

 

[gigi_copp3]

I'll try to go to Switzerland. Otherwise, I'll wait for a more affordable country. Croatia would have been perfect

 

[GermanBango]

I already reserved a hotel room in Zurich for the week of the 12th of May. Just in case muhahaha. It’s indeed so expensive.

 

[njdevils94]

St Gallen have put their name into the hosting ring listing Olma Hall as a potential venue for ESC 2025.

Eurovision Song Contest 2025 - Genf, Basel, St. Gallen: Alle wollen den ESC – doch wer kann?

Schon drei Städte buhlen um den Austragungsort. Die besten Argumente werden alsbald geprüft.

Do any of these venues so far meet the ceiling requirements ebu has? Didn't 2019 have a big issue with the height of the hall?

 

[ag89]

Hm, this Palexpo thing seems very big. Plus, there are different halls there.

So Palexpo is good to go.
