Eurovision 2025

The BBC and BBC Studios have confirmed selection plans for the act and song that will represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. 

Leading UK music industry figure David May is leading the search with Andrew Cartmell, Executive Producer BBC Studios North. 

David previously worked closely with the BBC team in 2022 as Manager of Sam Ryder when the United Kingdom achieved runner-up position at Eurovision in Turin. 

The search for next year's act and song has been underway for several months with UK record Labels, Publishers, Songwriters, BBC Music and BBC Introducing all playing their part to find the UK act and song for Eurovision 2025. 

David May is a Music Manager and Company founder with over 17 years in the UK music industry. He was nominated for Music Week's Manager of the Year in 2023. David started his career as a singer-songwriter and has since achieved over 200 million streams as a writer/producer. As Sam Ryder's Manager success included a Number 1 UK album, two Number 2 singles, and BRIT and Emmy Award nominations. 

David May said: “I'm excited to be working with BBC Studios and the BBC on this journey. We're seeking talent and a song that embodies the essence of UK music. We want to collaborate with an authentic act who has a genuine, heartfelt story to tell, and an unmatched vocal tonality and range. Ultimately we're looking for a powerful three-minute performance that resonates with and moves audiences across Europe and beyond.” 

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC said: “David knows exactly what it is like to be at the business end of the leaderboard at Eurovision, so this experience combined with his in-depth knowledge of the UK music scene ensures that he is perfectly placed to collaborate with us in the search for our artist and song for 2025.” 

The act and song representing the United Kingdom will be publicly announced before the European Broadcasting Union’s deadline in March 2025.
