Over 200 performers will join forces for a spectacularly choreographed performance prior to the UEFA Europa League final at St. Jakob-Park, Basel, on Wednesday 18 May. The world-renowned live artist Schiller and singer Arlissa will perform on the pitch alongside dancers from a local school in Rheinfelden.

The opening ceremony is a tribute to the finalists and the passion which has taken them to the showpiece. Schiller and Arlissa will perform their new hit song 'Not in Love', while their show will also feature a number of local artists, including the Swiss national rhythmic gymnastics team and performers from nearby dance school Tanz Atelier Rheinfelden. A professional dance group from Germany will also be making a guest appearance.

The artistic concept behind the ceremony has been created by Polish agency Platige Image together with world-class choreographer Waldek Szymkowiak. Platige Image, revered worldwide for using technologically advanced solutions in events and TV production, was also in charge of the implementation of last year's UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup opening ceremonies in Warsaw and Tbilisi respectively.
