- The European Broadcasting Union postponed the first official Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour 2026, which was due to visit 10 European cities starting at London's O2 Arena on 15 June and ending in Stockholm on 2 July.
- Citing unresolved issues, the EBU said it had encountered unforeseen challenges that its team, producers, and promoters were unable to resolve, with no further detail provided.
- Screenshots shared on X by Eurovision journalist GJ Kooijman suggested many tickets remained unsold, while tickets went on sale at the start of the month, with general admission starting at 72.
- The EBU apologized on its website, promised full refunds to ticket-holding fans, and said it will relaunch the tour when it can ensure a world-class experience.
- Eurovision semi-finals and the grand final are scheduled for May, unaffected so far by the tour postponement, despite five countries boycotting this year's 70th anniversary and protests from 2024 Switzerland winner Nemo.
