If you’re heading to Basel this May for Eurovision week, there’s one place you’ll keep hearing about – and for good reason.

From May 10–17, the EuroClub will be the center of the party scene, opening its doors every night from 10 PM (or 11 PM on some days) and welcoming fans, locals, and even former Eurovision stars. Located right across from the Eurovision Village, it’s a late-night dream for Eurovision enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

And if you’re looking for something a little more chill before diving into the dance floor, the EuroCafé opens daily from 4 PM, serving coffee, drinks, and light bites—no ticket needed.

On Sunday, May 11, Timebelle (Switzerland 2017) brings “Apollo” back to the stage at midnight, followed by Remo Forrer (Switzerland 2023) and Ireland’s infamous twin duo Jedward, who competed in both 2011 and 2012. That’s a stacked Sunday.

Monday, May 12 sees Gjon’s Tears (Switzerland 2021) performing his haunting ballads, joined by Silvester Belt (Lithuania 2024) and Jerry Heil (Ukraine 2024), whose track “Teresa & Maria” became a standout moment in Malmö last year.

And it doesn’t stop there. Each night features Eurovision alumni from across the years:

• Gunvor, Sebalter, and Gustaph (Tuesday)
• Michael Schulte, Efendi, and Nebulossa (Wednesday)
• Cesár Sampson, Senhit, and KEiiNO (Thursday)
• Emmelie de Forest (winner, Denmark 2013) headlines Friday night.

The whole week wraps with a massive Grand Final afterparty on Saturday, May 17, with a full-on DJ set that’ll keep you dancing ‘til dawn.

Meanwhile, the EuroCafé offers interactive events like a Language Café (May 12), Line Dance Workshop (May 14), and a full-on Eurovision Quiz Night (May 16). And yes—there’s a karaoke box open every day so you can finally belt out “Euphoria” in public.

If you’ve got a EuroClub ticket, it includes free travel on public transport in the Basel region – including across borders into parts of Germany and France. If you’re traveling in from elsewhere in Switzerland, you can use a CHF 20 travel discount (instructions and coupon code come with your ticket). And there will be night trains running after the show to Zurich, Bern, and Lucerne on Friday and Saturday nights—perfect for fans not staying in Basel.

The EuroClub is 18+ only and features strobe effects. Bags aren’t allowed inside, but there’s a cloakroom (CHF 2.00). The venue is fully accessible, with designated areas for wheelchair users and multiple accessible restrooms.

With a stacked line-up, easy travel access, and good vibes from dusk ‘til dawn, EuroClub and EuroCafé are shaping up to be the social heartbeat of Eurovision 2025 in Basel.
