Greece Confirms Eurovision 2025 Participation: Will We See a Return to Glory?
In a move that surprised absolutely no one but still brought a wave of excitement, ERT, the Greek public broadcaster, has officially confirmed its participation in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest. After months of speculation, Greece is now among the growing list of countries gearing up for the grand event, set to take place in Basel, Switzerland in May 2025.
But what makes this news worth talking about? Well, for starters, Eurovision isn’t just another music contest in Greece; it’s practically a national sport. And after some recent turbulent years, the pressure is on for ERT to deliver something extraordinary this time around.
A New Beginning or Same Old Story?
With this announcement, Greece becomes the 29th country to confirm its participation. However, what still remains shrouded in mystery is the selection process. Will it be another national final, or perhaps a behind-closed-doors decision ?
ERT, now under new management, has promised a «transparent» and «objective» selection procedure, which is supposed to keep the excitement alive and the drama at bay. But come on, this is Eurovision. Drama is practically part of the deal.
Eyes on the Top Ten
Greece has a long history with Eurovision—45 appearances to be exact—but recent performances have left fans yearning for a return to the top. Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord’s impressive 8th place finish in 2022 still lingers as a high point in an otherwise challenging decade. But with the competition getting fiercer each year, can Greece truly reclaim its position in the upper echelons of Eurovision royalty?
ERT certainly hopes so. Sources close to the broadcaster hint that the aim is not just to avoid embarrassment, but to storm back into the top ten. After all, the last thing Greece wants is another non-qualification lurking in the shadows.
Eurovision 2025: All Eyes on Basel
With the contest fast approaching, the question on everyone’s mind is: Who will fly the Greek flag in Basel? It’s safe to assume that once ERT finishes its internal reshuffling, we’ll have more concrete details. Will they opt for a rising star, a seasoned professional, or perhaps a dark horse that no one sees coming?
One thing’s for sure—whatever happens, Greece’s return to Eurovision glory will be a saga worth watching. So, set your alarms for May 2025 because whether Greece lands in the top ten or not, it’s bound to be a wild ride.
And let’s be honest, we wouldn’t have Eurovision any other way, would we?
