It’s not as strange as you might think it is: a Danish name for an Italian band. Bassist Victoria De Angelis is half Danish.
Måneskin has been active since 2016. The Italian rock band has made two albums so far, both of which reached number 1 in the Italian charts. It was therefore no surprise when the group was asked to participate in the famous festival of San Remo. And it was no big surprise that the song “Zitti e buoni” was immediately one of the favorites. Much praised was the fact that they were accompanied by the live orchestra as a rock band.
Måneskin won in San Remo. That made them the first candidates for the Eurovision Song Contest. They were immediately enthusiastic, which is why we will see them again in the final in Rotterdam.

Eurovision 2025 in Geneva or Basel
Swiss broadcaster SRG has announced the final two candidates to host the 69th Eurovision Song Contest: Basel and Geneva. SRG has narrowed down the initial bids to these two cities. One of them will host the contest in Switzerland in May 2025, with the final decision to be made in late August. Cities had until the end of June to submit their bids based on a detailed list of requirements. Important criteria included arena facilities, public transport, sustainability, hotel availability, security, waste management, investment, event experience, and city support. A Eurovision Song Contest working group reviewed the bids from Basel, Geneva, Zurich, and Berne/Biel. This review involved both quantitative and qualitative criteria, as well as the cities’ commitment and creative ideas. The goal is to make Eurovision 2025 an unforgettable event. The accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) supervised the assessment of the bids. Following the recommendations of the working group, the ESC 2025 Steering Committee, led by SRG Director General Gilles Marchand, chose Basel and Geneva as the final candidates.
