The singer Louane will represent France at Eurovision 2025 according to information from the Parisian this Thursday. France Télévisions for the moment refuses to officially confirm this candidacy.
Eurovision 2025 is indeed on track. The ticketing for the big show which will take place in Basel, Switzerland, on May 17, has been opened on Wednesday on the official websitewith more than 40,000 tickets sold in 10 minutes. And this Thursday, The Parisian indicates that Louane, the singer revealed by the program The Voice And by the film La Famille Aries in 2014, would have been chosen by the French delegation and France Télévisions to represent the hexagon during this 69th edition of the European song competition.
By still betting on an artist confirmed and popular for Eurovision, after Slimane last year, France again displays its ambitions to win a victory that has escaped it for 47 years and the coronation of Marie Myriam. With Louaneits 2 billion streams, its César and a fifth solo album released at the end of 2024, France Télévisions believes more than ever in its chances. The 28 -year -old singer, now a safe bet of the French music scene, will definitely change her dimension.
Louane, a candidate with a little extra for France
Because Louane hides multiple talents which will undoubtedly be the little extra that lacks France at Eurovision. A talented multi-instrumentalist, she recently distinguished herself in a solo show, “the club of feelings”, where she officiated as a singer, DJ, pianist and guitarist. His future song for Eurovision, after a last very inspired electro-pop opus, will be particularly expected by fans.
But we will have to wait. Because if the choice of the French candidacy for Eurovision seems to be behind the scenes (in any case according to the Parisian), the Directorate of France Télévisions is refused for the moment to any comments. Unlike previous years when French artists had been formalized in January at the latest, the delegation prefers not to communicate until mid-February or even in early March.
Competitors expected for Eurovision
Before announcing the representative of France to Eurovision, it would be a question of waiting for the holding of the selections of two heavyweights of the competition: the Sanremo festival in Italy and the Melodifestivale in Sweden, whose winners will be serious competitors in Basel in May. However, the first will take place from February 11 to 15, 2025 and the second from February 1 to Saturday March 8, 2025 …
By playing the Louane card, France hopes in any case to reissue or even exceed the great performances of Barbara Pravi (2nd in 2021) and Slimane (4th in 2024). A first element of response will be given in a few weeks, when the name of the candidate is finally confirmed and that her song will be revealed to the general public.
