London Eurovision Party Tonight

London’s biggest Eurovision warm-up lands tonight, with more than 20 acts due onstage before the contest reaches Vienna next month. (ldneurovision.com) The 17th London Eurovision Party is set for Sunday, April 19, at HERE at Outernet in central London. Organizers list doors at 6:30 p.m., performances from 7:30 p.m. to about 11:40 p.m., an after-party until 1:30 a.m., and venue close at 2 a.m. (ldneurovision.com) The official event page lists 21 competing 2026 acts, including Sweden’s Felicia, Austria’s Cosmó, Germany’s Sarah Engels, Malta’s Aidan, Switzerland’s Veronica Fusaro and Ukraine’s Leléka. It also lists San Marino’s Senhit as headliner and Moldova’s Aliona Moon as a guest. (ldneurovision.com) Eurovision pre-parties are live promo stops that let artists perform their entries for fans, press and online creators before rehearsals begin at the main contest. London’s event bills itself as the original pre-party and says this year’s show will feature artists heading to Vienna for Eurovision 2026. (ldneurovision.com) The timing is tight because Eurovision 2026 opens in Vienna in less than a month. Eurovision’s official site says Wiener Stadthalle will host the 70th contest, with semi-finals on May 12 and May 14 and the grand final on May 16. (eurovision.com) Eurovision’s official participant list shows 35 broadcasters competing in Vienna this year. That means the London lineup covers well over half the field, even before non-competing guests are counted. (eurovision.com) The hosts are Tia Kofi, Denmark’s Sissal and Austria 2018 singer Cesár Sampson, according to Eurovoix and the event’s own listings. Eurovoix also reported on March 16 that the trio had been booked for the April show in the British capital. (eurovoix.com) London has been on the Eurovision pre-party circuit for years. Eurovoix says the event began in 2008, making this year’s edition its 17th, and reported that 21 artists from Eurovision 2025 performed at last year’s party. (eurovoix.com) Ticket prices show how much the event has grown beyond a fan meetup. General admission is listed at £78.79, with premium packages rising to £614.66 on the official sales page. (ldneurovision.com) Eurovoix put the party on its April 19 agenda under “Tonight,” alongside other Eurovision-season events across Europe. By Monday morning, the clips, vocals and crowd reaction from London are likely to be folded into the next round of fan rankings before Vienna takes over. (eurovoix.com)
