The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has announced the cancellation of its planned summer tour, which was scheduled to include a performance at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen on June 25. This tour was set to feature renowned past Eurovision winners such as Johnny Logan from Ireland, Katrina from the UK, and Lordi from Finland, alongside selected participants from this year's Eurovision competition. The cancellation is disappointing news for Eurovision fans eagerly anticipating the event.

In a press release, EBU did not provide specific reasons for the tour's cancellation, only citing 'unforeseen challenges' that could not be resolved despite the best efforts of the team, producers, and promoters involved. This ambiguity leaves fans questioning what these challenges could entail, whether related to logistical issues, financial constraints, or other operational difficulties.

EBU assured ticket holders that they would receive refunds promptly and hinted at the possibility of the tour being rescheduled for a later date, which might provide some hope for fans who were looking forward to attending the shows. The cancellation highlights the ongoing unpredictability surrounding large-scale events in the current climate, raising concerns over future events within the Eurovision brand.
