Eurovision On Tour is set to arrive on stages in Australia to celebrate 68 years of the Song Contest, presented by Eurodrama Entertainment.
The three-hour live experience is the first time the show has toured and will feature 18 fan-favourite contestants performing live with dancers and outrageous costumes, as well as a dedicated fan zone with a replica of the iconic glass trophy, props and outfits.
Two Australians have been confirmed to perform on the tour: Korean-Australian songstress from Brisbane Dami Im and the youngest 2024 Eurovision entrant at 17 years old, Sydney’s Silia Kapsis.
Following concerts in London, Paris and Madrid, Eurovision On Tour brings the Eurovision experience to the fans and will tour to three Australian cities: Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney on 13, 15 and 17 November 2024.
