Several Swiss ESC participants such as Luca Hänni, Anna Rossinelli and Remo Forrer will also perform their songs in the so-called "Eurovision Village" in the Messequartier.

Basel's city center will also be the venue from 10 to 17 May. A total of 50 concerts will take place at "Eurovision Square" on Barfüsserplatz, as overall project manager Beat Läuchli told the media. Admission is free. Bands, some of them from the Basel region, will be performing there every day. Among others, Brandhärd, Nicole Bernegger, Michael von der Heide and Schwellheim will be playing.

The program during the ESC week also includes other activities such as a disco for people with and without hearing impairments, a choir of Alzheimer's sufferers and a school band competition.
