Malta Eurovision Song Contest returns in 2025 as the nation’s selection for Basel. And now, broadcaster TVM has revealed the 24 semi-finalists who will be competing for the chance to wave the Maltese flag.
The line-up includes a number of familiar faces, including Eurovision alumni.
Kurt Calleja represented Malta at Eurovision 2012 in Baku, and is now back to try again 13 years later.
Jessika and Fabrizio Faniello have also both appeared on the Eurovision stage — the former for San Marino in 2018, and the latter for Malta in 2001 and 2006. This time, they’ve decided to join forces and form the trio JVF, alongside fellow singer Victorio Gauci.
The semi-finalist reveal also came with short snippets of each of the songs.

The semi-finals of Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2025 are set to take place on Tuesday 4th and Thursday 6th February.
A combination of jury and public voting will choose eight songs from each show to advance to the final, which will follow on Saturday 8th February.
Whoever is chosen to represent Malta at Eurovision 2025 will hope to take the country back to the grand final following Sarah Bonnici’s unfortunate last place finish in semi-final two at the 2024 contest.
