Eurovision on Tour has arrived in Australia and has opened with a 3-hour epic concert in Brisbane. This will be followed by stops in Melbourne on 15 November and Sydney on 17 November. The tour features 18 Eurovision legends, including three past winners, one Junior Eurovision winner, two Australians in the form of 2016 runner-up Dami Im and 17-year-old Silia Kapsis, the youngest entrant in 2024. The tour’s star and spokesperson is Senhit, known to her fans as the ‘Freaky Queen’ and for her 2021 entry for San Marino, ‘Adrenalina,’ which saw her perform live alongside rapper Flo Rida.

“It is a privilege to be doing this tour and bring Eurovision to the fans for the first time. To be here in Australia is an honour for us.”

Silia Kapsis has enjoyed mixing with all the other Eurovision artists, who have so far performed together in Madrid, London and Warsaw. “It’s been super fun meeting the other artists on the tour. I didn’t know any of them before, as we all performed in different years, but they are great people, and we are having a really fun time.”

Dami Im has loved the chance the tour has given her to connect with the superfans. “Meeting the Eurovision fans has been the most fun experience ever,” says Im. “I’m super excited to bring what we have in Europe back to my hometown in Brisbane, back to the Tivoli, which is my local venue.”

Ticket options include Early Entry and Meet and Greet VIP packages, and there will be a dedicated fan zone featuring iconic Eurovision memorabilia on display.

Other artists who will be performing include Destiny from Malta, the Junior Eurovision winner for 2015, plus past Eurovision winners Carola from Sweden, Emmelie de Forest from Denmark and Linda Martin from Ireland. Fan favourites from Moldova Sunstroke Project are on the tour, as well as THE ROOP from Lithuania. Cyprus’ Theo Evans, the first entrant announced for 2025 was confirmed but is not attending now, as well as Efendi from Azerbaijan, Esther Hart from The Netherlands, Jalisse from Italy, Nicki French from the UK, Ovi & Ilinca Bacila from Romania, Rosa Lopez (also no longer attending) and Soraya, both from Spain, and Suzy from Portugal.

“Audiences are going to have fun, because it’s a very powerful show,” says Senhit.
