Before Ukraine selects its Eurovision 2025 representative this weekend, Suspilne has revealed further information about its selection, which will take place this Saturday, February 8.
Stage & Vidbir 2025 hosts confirmed
‘Ukraine’s Voice’ of Eurovision in Ukraine Timur Miroshnychenko will once again be hosting this year’s selection alongside stand-up comedian Vasyl Baydak and Eurovision 2005 co-host Maria Efrosynina. Meanwhile, Anna Tuleva will be hosting the pre-show and backstage.
In addition to the reveal of the hosts, Suspilne also released first renders of the Vidbir 2025 stage, which the broadcaster worked with alongside Starlight Production.
Speaking about the stage, Starlight Scenery Director Pylyp Nirod comments:
The key idea is to create a space that combines symbolism, technology, and comfort for artists. The scenography is based on several important accents. The first is special light planes that add multi-layering and create the effect of dawn rays. The second is large LED columns that not only broadcast the images of the finalists, but also enhance the personalization of each number. Multi-scenicity will make it possible to create unique productions for each performance, and will also visually increase the filming space. And, of course, an important element was the integration of green rooms, which are located on both sides of the judging area. This gives the show a sense of scale and meets the best European standards
Suspilne will commence Vidbir 2025 festivities at 18:00EET with a pre-show, and the selection starting at 18:30EET . You are able to watch the show on the Eurovision Ukraine YouTube chnanel, as well as the Eurovision Ukraine Facebook page. You are able to find out more about
