The news comes after Switzerland’s Nemo was crowned the winner of the 2024 contest with their song “The Code”, meaning their country would become hosts for next year’s competition.
A statement from the European Broadcasting Union said that the contest would be held in the German speaking part of Switzerland for the first time, after previously being hosted in Lugano in 1956 and Lausanne in 1989.
