Eurovision is going on tour across Europe this summer for its 70th anniversary, bringing together iconic performers from across the contest’s legacy.

To celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest’s 70th anniversary, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has announced the first official Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour, set to travel across Europe this summer. Created especially for the anniversary year, this 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 music.

Following the record sell-out of tickets for the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, the Live Tour will give those who can’t attend the shows in Vienna the chance to share in the festivities and enjoy performances delivered with the same scale, spectacle, and spirit of Eurovision.

In June and July, the Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour will travel to 10 major European cities, featuring performances from iconic acts who cemented their place in history throughout the past seven decades.

There will also be performances from 10 competing artists from the 2026 Grand Final in Vienna and surprise special guests in every city. Artists will perform their own Eurovision Song Contest entries plus cover versions of their favorite songs from the contest’s 70-year history.

Fans who sign up by February 1 will receive exclusive early access to tickets through a dedicated presale. Further details about purchasing tickets for each date will be announced soon on the Eurovision website.

“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 [while] looking to the future,” said Martin Green CBE, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest.

“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 honor,” added James O’Brien, CEO of Progress Productions. “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 May 16 with Semi-Finals on May 12 and 14. Songs and artists representing 35 broadcasters will compete at the Wiener Stadthalle, which also hosted the 60th contest in 2015.
