The EBU has confirmed the planning of a Eurovision Live Tour across nine European countries, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Contest. Ten live shows will be organised between 15 June and 2 July, with pre-registration available for Eurofans already.
The information had already been revealed back in August 2025 by Audrius Giržadas, the head of delegation for Lithuania (who had also revealed the upcoming release of the new logo at the time).
Artists and cities of the Live Tour
Where and when will the live shows be?
The shows will take place over three weeks, in ten different cities across nine countries in Western and Northern Europe, starting in London and concluding in Stockholm’s Avicii Arena, which hosted the Contest for its 60th anniversary edition back in 2016. Germany will host two shows.
- 🇬🇧 Mon 15 June – London, UK – O2 Arena
- 🇩🇪 Wed 17 June – Hamburg, Germany – Barclays Arena
- 🇮🇹 Fri 19 June – Milan, Italy – Arena Milano
- 🇨🇭 Sat 20 June – Zürich, Switzerland – Hallenstadion

- 🇳🇱 Sat 27 June – Amsterdam, Netherlands – Ziggo Dome
- 🇫🇷 Mon 29 June – Paris, France – Accor Arena
- 🇸🇪 Thu 2 July – Stockholm, Sweden – Avicii Arena
Who will be performing?
Ten artists from Eurovision 2026 will be part of the tour, along with previous Eurovision participants as well as special local guests which will differ from concert to concert.
Back in 2025, Audrius Giržadas explained that the top 10 artists would go, but this criteria is not yet confirmed by the EBU: it is more likely that the organisation wants flexibility to make sure that an artist may not have to face a situation where a good Eurovision result could end up changing a previously planned tour, for example.
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 whilst looking to the future.
Martin Green, 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.
Pre-registration available for Eurofans
Eurofans with a dedicated Eurofan account on the new “eurovision.com” website will be automatically pre-registered if their account was created before 1 February, 13:00 CET. This will allow them to have access to an exclusive pre-sale for the tickets.
A collaboration with Semmel Concerts and Progress Productions.
The ESC Live Tour will be promoted by the German company Semmel Concerts, with Progress Productions producing the shows.
Progress Productions is a British company that’s worked on several major entertainement and sports events, such as the ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, the Hundred in England & Wales, the FA Cup Final, but also Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool.
Creating this concert series is an extraordinary honour. 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.
James O’Brien, CEO of Progress Productions
