The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has announced the first-ever official Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour, celebrating 70 years of the world’s biggest live music event with arena shows across Europe in summer 2026.
Designed especially for the anniversary year, the Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour will bring together iconic performers from seven decades of Eurovision history alongside 10 artists from the 2026 Contest in Vienna, giving fans the chance to experience Eurovision’s signature spectacle beyond the main TV shows.
With the 70th Eurovision Song Contest expected to draw huge demand in Vienna, the new tour offers a major live alternative for Eurofans who can’t attend the Contest in person — while still delivering the scale, energy and community spirit the event is famous for.
What to expect from the Eurovision Live Tour 2026
The Live Tour will visit 10 major European cities in June and July, with each show featuring a star-studded mix of past Eurovision favourites and current Contest talent. Fans can also expect special surprise guests to appear on stage in every city.
Artists on the tour will perform their own Eurovision entries as well as cover versions of classic songs from Eurovision’s 70-year history. The full line-up may vary depending on the city and country.
The 10 competing artists from Eurovision 2026 joining the tour will be confirmed by the EBU the day after the Grand Final on 16 May 2026, while the Eurovision “Icons” appearing in each city will be announced in the coming weeks.
Martin Green CBE, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, said the tour is a unique way to celebrate the Contest’s evolution and global fan community. “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,” he said. “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.”
James O’Brien, CEO of Progress Productions, added: “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.”
More information, including full city-by-city lineups will be revealed soon.
