easyJet welcomes the announcement of Vienna as the host city for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. The Austrian capital will come alive with a week-long programme of events and festivities to celebrate the 70th edition of the event, including 3 live shows culminating in the highly anticipated Grand Final on 16 May.

Fans heading to Vienna next May can take advantage of easyJet’s direct flights from Milan, connecting them straight to the Austrian capital’s vibrant Eurovision atmosphere. The airline will also be working closely with Eurovision organisers over the coming months to create exciting opportunities for fans across Europe, including a dedicated aircraft with a Eurovision-livery, special promotions, themed flights, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content to keep the celebration alive from take-off to touchdown.

“With Eurovision celebrating its 70th edition, Europe comes together for a spectacular celebration of music, diversity and creativity,” said Gabriella Neudecker, Marketing Director at easyJet. “Our extensive network across Europe makes it easy for fans to connect, whether they’re heading to the heart of the contest in Vienna or joining friends anywhere across our continent.”
