London is set to host an unprecedented spectacle of glitter and song as the first-ever Eurovision Song Contest live tour kicks off in the capital this summer. The iconic event, celebrating its 70th anniversary, is taking its unique brand of musical celebration on the road for the very first time.
Tour Dates and European Stops
The historic tour will commence at London's O2 Arena on June 15, marking the UK as the starting point for this celebratory journey. Following the London show, the production will travel across Europe, visiting major cities including Hamburg, Milan, Zürich, Antwerp, Cologne, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Paris, and Stockholm throughout June and July.
This tour is a separate event from the main 2026 contest, which is scheduled to be held in Vienna, Austria in May. It is designed to extend the Eurovision festivities and bring the experience directly to fans across the continent.
What to Expect from the Shows
The live shows promise a dazzling retrospective of the contest's seven-decade legacy. Audiences can anticipate performances from a star-studded lineup of iconic past contestants alongside artists set to participate in the 2026 event in Vienna.
The 2026 participants, who are yet to be confirmed, will perform their own competition entry as well as cover versions of their favourite classic Eurovision songs. The organisers have noted that the performing lineup may vary from city to city, ensuring each show offers a unique experience for local fans.
How to Secure Your Tickets
Fans eager to be part of this inaugural tour can look forward to an exclusive early access presale starting on February 1. To gain entry to this presale, enthusiasts must register in advance on the official Eurovision website.
Further information regarding general ticket sales for each tour date, including the London opener, will be published on the Eurovision site in the coming days. Given the massive global fanbase, demand for tickets to the London show at the O2 Arena is expected to be exceptionally high.
