The Eurovision Song Contest 2015 was the 60th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It consisted of two semi-finals on 19 and 21 May and a final on 23 May 2015, held at Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, and presented by Mirjam Weichselbraun, Alice Tumler, Arabella Kiesbauer, and Conchita Wurst. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), which staged the event after winning the 2014 contest for Austria with the song "Rise Like a Phoenix" by Conchita Wurst.

Broadcasters from forty countries participated in the contest, with Australia making a guest appearance. Cyprus and Serbia returned after a one-year absence, while the Czech Republic returned after its last participation in 2009. Meanwhile, Ukraine did not participate due to financial and political crises related to the Russo-Ukrainian War.
