The London Eurovision Party (LEP) is back! The event is set to take place on Sunday 16th April at HERE at Outernet, a cutting-edge underground venue in Central London. Contestants from across Europe will showcase their songs for Eurovision Song Contest happening in Liverpool less than a month away from LEP, in front of international media and some of the contest’s biggest fans.

The venue with a capacity of 2,000 people has hosted some of the biggest names of both the British and International music industry. Actually, Sam Ryder, UK entry for ESC 2022 and runner-up of the last edition of the contest, held his debut album premiere show in this venue back in November 2022.

Early entry tickets cost £72.93, VIP tickets cost £198.39, and accessible tickets cost £49.17. General admission tickets have sold out, but a limited number of production tickets will be available on the DICE website from 3rd of April.

The London Eurovision Party has become an important event in the run-up to Eurovision, providing contestants with an opportunity to perform their songs in front of a live audience and generate buzz ahead of the contest.
