Georgia Aims for Eurovision Glory: Confirms Participation for 2025 After Breaking Seven-Year Curse

As the dust settles from Malmö’s electrifying Eurovision 2024, the Georgian National Broadcaster, GPB, has already set its sights on Basel, confirming that Georgia will compete in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in 2025. This announcement, eagerly awaited by fans and insiders alike, marks Georgia’s 17th consecutive participation in the event, solidifying its commitment to the contest that has captivated Europe for decades.
Georgia’s road to Eurovision has been a rollercoaster of emotions, marked by highs, lows, and a resilience that culminated in a remarkable comeback last May. After years of near misses and dashed hopes, 2024 saw Nutsa Buzaladze, a powerhouse performer, shatter Georgia’s seven-year non-qualification streak. Her ethnic pop anthem “Firefighter” ignited the Malmö stage, propelling Georgia into the Grand Final for the first time since 2017. Though the journey ended with a 21st place finish, the taste of victory was sweet, and it was enough to rekindle the nation’s Eurovision ambitions.
Now, with the countdown to Basel 2025 officially on, speculation is rife about how Georgia will select its next representative. GPB has yet to reveal its method for choosing the artist and song that will carry the nation’s hopes. Given the success of the internal selection process in 2024, many believe that GPB might stick to this strategy, aiming for another strong performance.
The announcement of Georgia’s participation has already sparked excitement across the Eurovision community. For many, the country’s presence adds a dash of unpredictability and flair to the competition. With Basel 2025 on the horizon, all eyes will be on Georgia as it seeks to build on the momentum of 2024 and perhaps, just perhaps, inch closer to that elusive Eurovision crown.
Stay tuned, as the journey to Eurovision 2025 promises to be filled with surprises, drama, and of course, incredible music.
