Intervision 2025 (Russian: Интервидение 2025), also known as the Intervision Song Contest 2025, is an international song competition that is scheduled to take place at the Live Arena near the city of Moscow, Russia, on 20 September 2025.[6] The event is expected to feature representatives from countries primarily from BRICS, CIS, Latin American, and Middle Eastern states, each selecting a single entrant.[7][8] Although it takes the name from the former Intervision Song Contest, and it was announced as a revival of it, it is an unrelated event.

In a decree by Russian president Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko was declared chairman of the organising committee, while the Russian foreign ministry will be in charge of promoting the contest.[9][10][11]

Background

[edit]

The Intervision Song Contest was originally launched in the 1960s by the International Radio and Television Organisation (OIRT) as an alternative to the Eurovision Song Contest for the Eastern Bloc, but was eventually discontinued in 1980.[12] After 28 years, an unrelated song contest with the same name took place in 2008.

Following the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russia and Belarus were suspended from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.[13] On 3 February, 2025, Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the return of an Intervision Song Contest by decree, inviting "friendly" countries to the contest, with the goal of "developing international cultural and humanitarian cooperation".[14][15]

The new contest was also supposed to, according to Russian senator Lilia Gumerova, "promote real music" and reject "fake values that are alien to any normal person". Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov suggested Intervision 2025 will be "free of perversion" and "abuse of human nature, as we saw in the Paris Olympics".[16][17]

Ukrainian response

[edit]

On 26 May 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that it considers Intervision to be a tool of Russian propaganda used to whitewash the aggressive policies of the Russian regime. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded by instructing its foreign diplomatic missions to take measures of "political and diplomatic reaction" against countries that intend to take part in the contest. The aim of these measures is to drop countries with which Ukraine has at least neutral relations from the competition.[18]

Location

[edit]

On 29 October 2023 Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced plans for an Intervision Song Contest held in 2024 in Saint Petersburg. However, on 21 March 2024 the planned location was changed to Moscow and a budget of 600 million rubles was allocated for the event.[19][20] In June, the contest was postponed to 2025.[21]

The contest will be held in Live Arena, which is located in Novoivanovskoye, an Urban-type settlement in the Odintsovsky District of the Moscow region of Russia. Live Arena is a multi-purpose entertainment complex located with a seating capacity of up to 11,000 spectators. The venue was opened in 2022.[22]

Organisation

[edit]

Graphic design and slogan

[edit]

On 16 May 2025 the logo and slogan of the contest was revealed by the organisers. The logo is based on a rhombus inspired by Russian Suprematism[23]. The graphic design maintains visual continuity with the old contest of 1965-1980 but also incorporates modern elements to "emphasise the relevance" of the event. According to the organisers, the chosen slogan "Music in the Heart of Your County" is supposed to illustrate the unifying nature of the event as music holds the ability to "make a million hearts beat in unison".[1][2]

Provisional list of participants

[edit]

The Russian government is directly coordinating participation with foreign governments. In statements from organisers, no formal list of confirmed participants has been published yet. Otherwise, claims vary from 20 to 25 confirmed, but also "interested" participants.[24]

As of May 2025, the following countries have publicly confirmed their intention to participate in the contest. Three countries have formally confirmed artists being Russia, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.
