The Victory and Return to Basel
As a reminder, Nemo won Eurovision 2024 and brought the coveted trophy to Switzerland with “The Code”, marking the country’s third victory in the contest’s history – following Lys Assia, who won the inaugural Eurovision in 1956, and Céline Dion, who made history again in 1988.
As part of the celebrations around this year’s hosting in Basel, Nemo has been in the city for the past weeks, participating in various events organized for fans. Earlier this week, they held a special fan meeting and did not stop there – they also surprised the public with live performances in the city streets, delighting passersby.

Nemo’s Special Performance at Eurovision 2025
Nemo’s connection to Eurovision this year goes beyond their personal recommendations. They will appear as a guest artist during the grand final broadcast of Eurovision 2025 on May 17th, promising to bring their unique magic back to the main stage – this time without the pressure of competition.
Throughout the past year, Nemo has maintained close ties with the Eurovision community, and once again, they prove they do not intend to step away from the spotlight. Their personal picks for this year add a heartfelt and exciting dimension to the European celebration. Now, all that remains is to see if one of Nemo’s favorites will conquer the top spot – and perhaps surprise us once more.
Switzerland at Eurovision 2025
“Voyage” (translated as: “Journey”) is the title of the song that will be performed by singer Zoë Më, who will represent Switzerland in the grand final of Eurovision 2025 on May 17th in Basel, Switzerland. The song was written by the singer, Emily Middlemas, and Tom Oehler, who previously wrote and produced the German entry for Eurovision 2019. The song will be performed in French.
Currently, the singer is ranked 15th in the betting odds tables.
Who is Zoë Më?
Zoë Më, stage name for Zoë Alina Kressler is a Swiss singer born in Basel, who typically performs in French and German, blending what she describes as chanson with poetic pop. Although she grew up in Freiburg, Germany, she has always felt a strong connection to the French language and its musicality.
Zoë Më rose to public prominence in 2024, winning two awards from the Swiss national broadcaster – one from the German-speaking division and another from the French-speaking division. She has performed at several prestigious Swiss festivals, including the Lucerne Festival.
Eurovision 2025: This will be Switzerland’s 65th participation in Eurovision. Switzerland joined the contest in 1956, was one of the seven founding countries, and has won three times over the years. Switzerland’s most recent victory was at the last Eurovision, 2025, with Nemo and the song “The Code”. This win follows Switzerland’s previous victory in 1988 with the song “Ne partez pas sans moi”, performed by the international singer Céline Dion.
