First ever Eurovision tour announced with debut at London’s The O2

The 2026 Eurovision Live Tour features 10 competing artists and past icons in 10 European cities, celebrating 70 years with immersive arena concerts and large-scale production.

  • The European Broadcasting Union announced the first-ever official Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour, starting June 15 at The O2 in London and visiting nine other cities including Paris and Stockholm.
  • Organisers described the project as a move from broadcast icon to an immersive live experience, with Progress Productions led by James O'Brien producing the tour and calling it an "extraordinary honour".
  • Fans who want early access can register before February 1 for a pre-sale, while ten artists from the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest and Icons will perform rotating line-ups with surprise special guests.
  • Organisers say the shows will give arena fans Eurovision's scale and spirit, with production mirroring televised Eurovision and the final concert at Avicii Arena, Stockholm on July 2.
  • The tour is scheduled to begin one month after the Grand Final on May 16 amid backlash over Israel's participation, while last year's shows reached 175 million viewers.
