Eurovision Marks 70th Anniversary with first-ever Live Tour

Ever since Eurovision 2026 tickets sold out in record time earlier this week, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has been teasing some big and exciting news would be coming soon.

That announcement came early this morning in Europe: the Eurovision Song Contest is embarking on a live concert tour for the first time ever!

Celebrating the Contest’s 70th anniversary in ten cities across Europe, the tour will bring together some of Eurovision’s favourite performers of all time, plus some of the stars from the 2026 contest. This innovative live concert experience offers fans a chance to experience Eurovision beyond the annual broadcast.

The complete lineup will be confirmed after the 2026 Grand Final, but we can expect some of the biggest Eurovision stars performing in each city to be announced in the coming weeks.

As a tribute to seven spectacular decades of music, fans will see artists perform not only their own Eurovision hits but also cover versions of Eurovision classics that have helped shape the Contest over the last 70 years.
