“Veronica Fusaro, Zoë Më, Nemo, Gjon’s Tears: despite the differences between these artists who have represented Switzerland, they all have one thing in common – they have graced the Eurovision stage with their own artistic style. That is exactly what we are looking for once again for 2027,” says Yves Schifferle, head of the Swiss delegation.
Eurovision is the world’s biggest showcase for pop music. Swiss public television sees the contest as a way to promote Swiss music abroad, the press release continues. The motto is “Be yourself – maximised for Eurovision”.
