Loreen’s going on tour, darling! The 39-year-old Eurovision Song Contest 2023 winner has announced dates in Europe and the UK for her Tattoo tour; the tour will kick off in Dublin at the start of November this year, and conclude in Lithuania.

Speaking about the upcoming tour, Loreen said: “I’m so thrilled to finally go on a European tour and to invite you all into my universe. The Tattoo tour will be the first European tour I’ve done in a while and I’m beyond excited to be back on stage and meet everyone that has supported me through this journey. The connections I’ve made these years mean the world to me and to finally be able to meet you all again is a dream come true.”

We all remember where we were when we saw Loreen’s 2023 Eurovision Song Contest performance – this particular RadioTimes.com writer was at a house party in Hackney munching on some crisps, secretly cheering on Finland’s Käärijä as they had them in the office sweepstake… But when Loreen, her light box, and her nail extensions made of bone performed the incredible Tattoo, it was clear she would be a very worthy winner.

Loreen became known in Sweden after placing fourth in the first season of Idol in 2004. In 2012, Loreen won Eurovision with her song Euphoria; the incredible track won 372 points from 40 out of the 42 voting countries. Euphoria hit the number three spot in the UK Official Singles Chart – the highest chart position for a non-UK Eurovision entry since Ireland icon Johnny Logan’s Hold Me Now track in 1987 – and it remained in the top 20 for weeks after the song contest.

The Swedish singer competed in Melodifestivalen (a festival which determines the country’s representative for the Eurovision Song Contest) for a fourth time with her song Tattoo. She won, and progressed to the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.
