Finland in Eurovision 2025: Singer Erika Vikman took the stage for her first rehearsal with the song “Ich Komme”. Stay updated with all the reports from Basel, Switzerland…

Finland was the eighth and final country to hold a rehearsal for Eurovision 2025 today with a – performance. Finnish singer Erika Vikman is the eighth contestant to rehearse today on the Eurovision 2025 stage in Basel, Switzerland, with the song “Ich Komme”. Erika Vikman will perform as song number 16 in the second semi-final, which will take place on May 15 in Basel. This year’s competition features 37 countries.

The performance closely resembles what was seen in the Finnish national final, UMK, but on a larger and more intense scale. Erika Vikman begins on a gold circular stage, echoing the visual style of her music video. After the first verse and chorus, she grabs her microphone and quickly walks to the front stage with the frame.

Further details about Finland’s performance

There are no dancers or backing performers-Erika’s presence alone fills the arena with charisma. Her choreography is precise, and she maintains eye contact with the camera throughout most of the song. Towards the end of her song, she returns to the central stage and approaches her giant golden microphone, which lifts her up for the performance’s climax.

Erika wears an updated version of her national final outfit: a black latex and leather bodysuit with thigh-high black boots. This time, she has added a black studded belt and long black gloves. The lighting remains largely similar to the national final, with adjustments for the larger Eurovision stage. The screens display the words “ICH KOMME” and, finally, “ERIKA.”

Pyrotechnics in the performance include smoke that appears as she walks from the central stage to the front stage.
