The BBC, the British national broadcaster, have released artist and song news, ahead of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, in Basel.

Following rumours that the BBC would announce their representative following The Traitors final last Friday, they have released the following statement:

“The act and song representing the United Kingdom will be publicly announced before the European Broadcasting Union’s deadline in March 2025. Leading UK music industry figure David May is leading the search with Andrew Cartmell, Executive Producer BBC Studios North.

David previously worked closely with the BBC team in 2022 as Manager of Sam Ryder when the United Kingdom achieved runner-up position at Eurovision in Turin.

The search for next year’s act and song has been underway for several months with UK record Labels, Publishers, Songwriters, BBC Music and BBC Introducing all playing their part to find the UK act and song for Eurovision 2025.”
