The Eurovision Song Contest, the biggest event in the European music world, will hold its first-ever tour to celebrate its 70th anniversary. This decision was made against the backdrop of boycotts occurring due to Israel's participation in 2026. The contest's organizers plan to celebrate Eurovision's rich history and musical heritage with this tour.
Redaksiya reports that the Eurovision Song Contest has faced boycotts from a number of countries in connection with Israel's war in Gaza. Five countries have withdrawn from the contest in protest of Israel's participation. This marks the lowest number of participants since the expansion of the number of participants in 2004.
The tour, to be held in celebration of Eurovision's 70th anniversary, will take place in ten European cities with the participation of "iconic performers." Organizers have stated that this tour will bring Eurovision's most memorable moments and musicians to the stage. The contest's organizers aim to emphasize Eurovision's significance in the field of music and culture and to bring together music lovers worldwide with this tour.
