On May 16, 2026, the Schwarzwaldhalle in Karlsruhe will be transformed into a true Eurovision Song Contest party zone.
Up to 3,500 fans can watch the Eurovision Song Contest final up close on the giant LED screen.

A special highlight:
Starting at 8:15 p.m., there will be live segments from the official Eurovision Countdown Show with Barbara Schöneberger in Vienna—so you can cheer on the show live from Karlsruhe!
