This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest, and fans are excited to say the least.

In fact, more than 95,000 tickets for 9 shows were sold for this year's edition, with fans travelling from 75 different countries to experience it live. 42% of those tickets were bought internationally, with high demands from USA, Australia, Brazil, Japan, and South Africa, highlighting Eurovision's growing global fanbase.

This once again shows that music knows no borders, with fans from around the world preparing to travel to Vienna for the platinum edition of the world's largest live music event.

And that's not all, cheering on their favourites in the Wiener Stadthalle will be fans from countries as diverse as the Solomon Islands, Paraguay and Sri Lanka, proving that Eurovision's appeal truly spans the globe.

Martin Green CBE, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest elucidated: "What makes the Eurovision Song Contest so special is the way it brings people together, United by Music, and these figures really bring that to life. To see fans travelling from more than 70 countries - from across Europe and as far away as New Zealand, the Americas and beyond – is incredible.

And it’s great to see so many ticket buyers from Asia as we get ready for the exciting launch of Eurovision Song Contest Asia in November. There’s a real sense of joy in knowing that people from all over the world will come together in Vienna to celebrate music, culture and connection."

This phenomenon highlights the core purpose of the Eurovision Song Contest, namely to bring nations together and foster connection through the shared love for music.

This year, both semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place on 12 and 14 May, followed by the Grand Final on 16 May. Eva Marija will represent Luxembourg with her song Mother Nature, which audiences can catch during the second semi-final on 14 May.
