Karaoke-Tram fährt während des ESC durch Basel
Original
This is the “Drämmli-Lounge” of the Basler Verkehrsbetriebe (BVB), a vehicle from 1972. The karaoke rides will start at Messeplatz from May 11-17. Karaoke fans can purchase their free tickets online from April 30.
Despite the karaoke, the tram will not become a bar. Boarding is prohibited for “heavily intoxicated persons, and eating and drinking on board is also not permitted”, according to Ricola’s press release.

How we work
We select the most relevant news for an international audience and use automatic translation tools such as DeepL to translate them into English. A journalist then briefly reviews the translation for clarity and accuracy before publication. Providing you with automatically translated news gives us the time to write more in-depth articles. The news stories we select have been written and carefully fact-checked by an external editorial team from news agencies such as Bloomberg or Keystone.
