After the victory of JJ with his song « Wasted Love » at this year’s final on May 17, the world’s largest music competition will take place in Austria. This was followed by a total of 166 million people on television in 2025.

She reached the 22nd out of 26 places. According to these remarkable services, the search for the next representative of Luxembourg will soon begin again on the large Eurovision stage.
