Turning 70 is definitely worth celebrating! That’s exactly what Eurovision has in mind. This iconic song contest is marking its 70th anniversary this year, with the next edition scheduled for May 2026 in Vienna, Austria. This year, 35 countries are vying for the title.
To properly mark this celebration of seven decades, UER, the European Broadcasting Union that organizes Eurovision every year, has announced the very first official tour dedicated to the event. Dubbed "Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour", this concert series will visit 10 cities, including Paris! Make sure to mark your calendars: in the French capital, the Eurovision Song Contest will stop at the Accor Arena on Monday, June 29, 2026. To experience this unprecedented musical event live, don’t forget that tickets go on sale on February 6 at 10 a.m.
So, what can audiences expect from this inaugural Eurovision Song Contest tour? It’s announced that legendary artists from the past seven decades of the competition will be making guest appearances to perform their classic hits live on stage.
Some fans are already hoping to see the Eurovision winners perform live at the Accor Arena. Among the favorites are Austrian victory legend JJ, Swiss artist Nemo, Swedish pop star Loreen, or the Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra. Closer to home, fans dream of seeing Italian band Måneskin or Austria’s 2014 winner Conchita Wurst hit the stage. And there’s also speculation about potential French contenders—artists like Louane, Bilal Hassani, Amir, Amandine Bourgeois, Anggun, or Sébastien Tellier. However, none of these names have been confirmed for the upcoming lineup yet.
As we write these lines, organizers have officially announced the lineup. Alessandra, who represented Norway in 2023 with the song "Queen of Kings", will be performing. Also on the bill are Guy Sebastian, Australia’s 2015 hopeful with his hit "Tonight Again", and Helena Paparizou, who took Greece to Eurovision victory back in 2005.
Also scheduled to perform at the Accor Arena are Australian-Irish singer-songwriter Johnny Logan, best known for being the first artist to win the Eurovision Song Contest twice. Joining the lineup are Katrina, Verka Serduchka, who represented Ukraine in 2007, and Lordi, the Finnish heavy metal band that took home the trophy in 2006. Stay tuned to find out which other artists will be rocking the stage at Paris’s Accor Arena on June 29 for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
The UER also reveals that 10 artists from the 2026 edition will be part of the event. The lineup of participants will be announced soon. But there's no doubt that this Eurovision Song Contest at the Accor Arena in Paris will deliver an unforgettable atmosphere, rivaling the most memorable editions of the music competition.
