REGISTRATION CLOSED!

The ESC is coming home to Switzerland in 2025. The very first "Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson" took place in Lugano in 1956. Back then, Lys Assia won and secured the first victory in ESC history for Switzerland. Switzerland's second victory followed in 1988 with Céline Dion, after which the music competition was held in Lausanne in 1989. Thanks to Nemo's victory in Malmö in 2024, the ESC is now coming to Switzerland for the third time - to Basel.

For the world's biggest music event, we are looking for you as a volunteer!

Our aim is to ensure that everyone has equal access to volunteering, regardless of their personal characteristics or attributes.

If you have any particular requirements with respect to your volunteering, please mention this in your application so that we can ensure adaptions are made when barriers identified.

Anyone who is 18 years old at the time of registration and available for at least ten days between 7 April and 20 May can apply.

A comprehensive programme is planned in the city from 10 to 17 May for fans from all over Europe as well as for people from Basel. At all of these locations volunteers like you are needed to live the spirit of the ESC.

Whether you are a host, have organisational talent or simply want to lend a hand - your skills will make the difference.

Main Venue: The main venue of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is the St. Jakobshalle, where the delegations will compete in the semi-finals and final.

Arena Plus: In St. Jakob-Park, the ‘Arena plus’ will offer a public viewing with special acts and wide supporting programme on 17 May.

Eurovision Village: The Eurovision Village at Messe Basel (Hall 1) offers a daily programme of live concerts, public viewings, food and drinks and activities related to the Eurovision Song Contest.

EuroClub & Café: The EuroClub in Messe Basel (Eventhalle) is where the ESC fan clubs party until late into the night. They will also put together the EuroClub programme.

Eurovision Square: The open-air stage on Barfüsserplatz is a stage of diversity: mostly local and regional acts play here every day - including regional acts from neighbouring Germany and France. 

Eurovision Boulevard: The Eurovision Boulevard from Basel SBB railway station to Badischer Bahnhof - including areas of the ‘Riviera‘ along the banks of the river Rhine in Kleinbasel - is the connecting element between ESC venues.

Eurovision Street: The Steinenvorstadt will become Eurovision Street during the ESC: the street music and eye-catching decorations will make the nightlife area fit in with the ESC.

In order to participate as a volunteer at the ESC 2025, each volunteer will be required to consent to a background check at the appropriate time. Such background check will be carried out by the relevant authorities. In doing so, the authorities will process data that the volunteers provide as part of their application for the ESC 2025, as well as other data that the volunteers otherwise communicate, publish or that are made available at the request of the relevant authorities.
