Neighbouring cities in France & Germany have announced events, ahead of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, in Basel.

Mulhouse, which is located in the Alsace region of France, is planning free public screenings of the two semi finals and the final. The screenings will be held in the Autodrome of the Mulhouse Automobile Museum, which can hold up to 5,000 people.

Emmanuelle Suarez, Deputy Mayor of Mulhouse, had the following to say:

“It will be very crowded in Basel, and people could also come to Mulhouse. We want to use Eurovision to show that Alsace does not only consist of Strasbourg, Colmar and half-timbered houses, but that we are a miniature Europe on a large scale. The occasion is also convenient for us because Mulhouse is celebrating its 800th anniversary this year. For 300 of those years, we belonged to the Switzerland.”

In Weil am Rhein, in Germany, a five-day music festival will be organised. The festival will take place on the northern edge of the Rheinpark close to the Rheincenter, in a tent with space for up to 1,000 people.
