It is already known that Nemo will be performing at the show for the 18th Swiss Music Awards in Zurich's Hallenstadion. On Wednesday, the organizers also announced that the ESC star has been nominated in the four categories Best Solo Act, Best Streaming Artist, Best Hit for "The Code" and Most Rising Artist Social Media.
The categories for streaming and social media have only existed since last year. What is new this year is that the categories Best Female Act and Best Male Act have been merged into Best Solo Act National. Alongside Nemo, Manillio and Raffa Guido can hope to win an award.
Stubete Gäng, who are competing in the Best Streaming Artist and Best Group categories, already won the former last year. Patent Ochsner also took home a concrete block in 2024, back then as Best Live Act; they are nominated again in this category this year and also as Best Group.
Swiss folk-pop musician Linda Elys is up for a Swiss Music Award for the first time in 2025. The organizers refer to her song "House of Fire", which was a "huge radio hit". She is also nominated in the categories Best Hit - alongside Nemo's "Teh Code" - and Best Talent.
The Swiss Music Awards generally honor both established artists and newcomers. The awards are presented to musicians for their work in the previous year.
