London Eurovision Festival (LEF) takes place on Friday 17 April at The Scala, King’s Cross and Saturday 18 April at Colours Hoxton, Shoreditch. LEF 2026 will be a dazzling two-day festival marking 70 years of Eurovision. Featuring live performances, world-class DJs, drag spectaculars, fan experiences and charity fundraising at its heart.

Founded as a not-for-profit festival in 2023, LEF combines unforgettable entertainment with meaningful impact to raise funds and awareness for UK and international charities while creating a warm, inclusive space where everyone is welcome. This year’s beneficiary will be Doctors Without Borders. This international, independent medical humanitarian organisation provides emergency aid to people affected by armed conflicts, epidemics, natural disasters, and exclusion from healthcare. 

London Eurovision Festival builds on the momentum of its 2024 and 2025 editions

Fans and artists alike described the weekend as joyful, welcoming and truly community-led — a festival that feels like a family reunion with glitter.

The 2024 festival  in Copenhagen was shortlisted by business jury and public vote as 1 of 3 best events of the year at Danish Rainbow LGBTQIA+ Awards.

London Eurovision Festival 2026 will showcase Class of 2026 artists in the UK for the very first time, giving fans a rare chance to see this year’s Eurovision talent live on Friday and Saturday night before Vienna.

Artists have the choice of both concerts, meaning more opportunities for fans to meet, greet and celebrate with their favourites: a hallmark of LEF’s previous festivals.

Unique to LEF are two red-carpet artist parades, allowing artists to have real-time interaction with fans!

From meet-and-greets to early entry options, red carpets to dance floors, LEF 2026 is shaped around what Eurovision fans love most: access, atmosphere and artistry.

Expect surprises, special moments and a weekend that will be talked about long after the confetti settles.
