US EditionJuno Dawson: 'Doctor Who and Eurovision share same DNA – it's why they're beloved by LGBTQ+ people'
- The 69th Eurovision Song Contest final is set for Saturday night 2025 in Basel, Switzerland, featuring contestants from 37 countries at St. Jakobshalle arena.

- The mix of jury and public voting will determine the winner among strong contenders including Sweden's KAJ, Austria's JJ, France's Louane, the Netherlands' Claude, and Israel's Yuval Raphael, while protests remain likely.
