Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour Announced

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has announced the very first official Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour will travel across Europe this summer to mark 70 years of the world’s largest live music event.

Created especially for the anniversary year, this unforgettable concert experience brings together iconic Eurovision Song Contest performers and 2026’s artists for a celebration of the Contest’s legacy, its global fan community, and seven decades of unforgettable music.

Following the record sellout of tickets for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, the Live Tour gives those who can’t attend the shows in Vienna the chance to share the magic of Eurovision and to enjoy world-class performances delivered with the scale, spectacle, and spirit audiences have come to expect from the Eurovision Song Contest.

In June and July, tens of thousands of fans are invited to come together in 10 major European cities to celebrate the music, the community and the shared traditions that define the event.

Appearing on the Live Tour will be iconic acts who created legendary performances in the past seven decades of the Eurovision Song Contest and 10 competing artists from the 2026 competition in Vienna. And that’s not all – surprise special guests will also perform live on stage in every city.

The lineup of 2026 artists joining the European tour starting in June will be confirmed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on the day after the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final on 16 May.

The Icons performing in each city will be announced in the coming weeks, and Eurofans will hear who they are first.

The star-studded lineup may vary by city and country. Full artist lineups for each location will be available at www.eurovision.com/tour.

Artists will perform their own Eurovision Song Contest entries plus cover versions of their favourite songs from the contest’s 70-year history.

Eurofans who join before 1 February 2026 will receive exclusive early access to tickets through a dedicated pre-sale. Sign up at https://www.eurovision.com/account/register/

Further details on how to purchase tickets for each tour date will be published on Eurovision.com shortly.

The Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour will be promoted by Semmel Concerts, and the production company will be Progress Productions.

Martin Green CBE, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, said:

“As we celebrate 70 years of the Eurovision Song Contest, we wanted to do something truly unique and special - and the Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour is exactly that. This historic first tour captures the evolution of the Contest – from broadcast icon to an immersive live experience – with a format that celebrates our fantastic past whilst looking to the future.

“For the very first time we are bringing the magic of the Eurovision Song Contest live experience directly to fans and their friends and families all over Europe. This is our chance to celebrate the music, the artists, and the community that have made the Eurovision Song Contest what it is for seven remarkable decades.”

“Creating this concert series is an extraordinary honour. The Eurovision Song Contest has produced some of the most unforgettable performances in music history, and we can’t wait to bring that energy to arenas across Europe in 2026. This tour will be a celebration of everything that makes the Eurovision Song Contest iconic.”

The Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour will begin one month after the Grand Final of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest which will take place in Vienna on 16 May with Semi-Finals on 12 &14 May.
