Swiss-Italian TV personality Michelle Hunziker joins Sandra Studer and Hazel Brugger as presenter trio for Eurovision Song Contest in Basel this May
"The news, speculated by Italian media earlier on Monday, was confirmed on Monday afternoon at a press conference in Basel"
In a significant announcement for Swiss entertainment, Swiss-Italian television personality Michelle Hunziker has been officially named as one of three presenters for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. The announcement, which was made during a press conference in Basel, confirms Switzerland's commitment to bringing together a dynamic hosting team for this prestigious international event.
The Eurovision 2025 presenting team brings together three accomplished Swiss personalities. Michelle Hunziker, born in Canton Ticino and well-known in both Switzerland and Italy, brings her extensive experience from hosting the Sanremo Music Festival. She will be joined by Sandra Studer, a Eurovision veteran who represented Switzerland in 1991 and has extensive experience hosting musical programs, and Hazel Brugger, a Swiss-American comedian and television presenter known for her sharp wit and contemporary appeal. This all-female trio represents the multicultural and multilingual nature of Switzerland.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to take place from May 13-17 at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel. Switzerland earned the right to host this prestigious event following Swiss artist Nemo's victory in the previous year's competition. The five-day event will showcase Switzerland's organizational capabilities and cultural diversity on an international stage, with the grand final scheduled for May 17.
This hosting announcement marks a significant moment for Swiss television and entertainment. Michelle Hunziker's selection, alongside Sandra Studer and Hazel Brugger, reflects Switzerland's commitment to showcasing its diverse talent pool. Hunziker's experience in Italian television, including hosting the prestigious Sanremo Music Festival, brings international flair to the event. The decision to host Eurovision 2025 in Basel not only celebrates Switzerland's recent victory but also positions the city as a major cultural hub in Europe.
