The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has announced the very first official Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour.
The tour will travel across Europe in summer 2026 to mark 70 years of the world’s largest live music event.
Created especially for the anniversary year, the concert will bring Eurovision Song Contest performers and 2026’s artists for a celebration of the Contest’s legacy, its global fan community, and seven decades of music.
Following the record sell out of tickets for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, the Live Tour gives those who can’t attend the shows in Vienna the chance to enjoy Eurovision and its performances.
In June and July, the tour will visit 10 major European cities, with 10 competing artists from the 2026 competition in Vienna and previous performers in attendance. 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 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 lineup may vary by city and country, with artists performing their own Eurovision Song Contest entries plus cover versions of their favourite songs from the Contest’s 70-year history.
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.”
Touring cities include London, Milan, Copenhagen and Stockholm, to name a few.
