But here's where it gets controversial... amidst the celebration, the contest faces turmoil. With ongoing debates about participation and a row over Israel's involvement, some countries have decided to sit this one out.

The tour kicks off in London's O2 arena on June 15th and will visit nine other European cities. Artists will perform their Eurovision hits and cover songs from the contest's 70-year legacy. It's a chance for fans to experience the spectacle and spirit of Eurovision, even if they couldn't secure tickets to the main event.
