On 24 September 2025, Mayor Lydie Polfer, Deputy Mayor Maurice Bauer and Patrick Goldschmidt, Alderman responsible for city events and mobility, presented the logistical arrangements and practical information for the festivities. The press conference was attended by Laurent Loschetter, representing den Atelier, and Olivier Toth, from the Rockhal, who presented the programme of festivities and "Dem Grand-Duc seng feierlech Tournée".

For many months, the City of Luxembourg has been eagerly preparing to host the festivities to mark His Royal Highness Grand Duke Guillaume's accession to the throne. Municipal staff have been working steadfastly to ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible, and the artists have been rehearsing tirelessly to put on a spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime show. During the weekend of 3 to 5 October, the eyes of the world will be on Luxembourg, and on its capital. This is a historic event, which will be a moment of great pride and joy for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and for all its citizens.
