Supernova 2025 will take place in two phases – a Semi Final will be held on the 1st of February, where the top 10 will be selected to proceed to the Grand Final, which will be held a week later, on the 8th of February. The winner, and Latvia’s entry for Basel will be selected by a mix of jury votes and televoting.
Dons represented Latvia earlier this year in Malmö, and brought his country back into the Grand Final after 6 non-qualifications. His entry “Hollow” finished in 16th place in the Grand Final.
