After revealing the United Kingdom, Belgium and France, Eurovision.tv exclusively reports that the winner of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest will also come to Finland, Sweden and Norway!

The winner of the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest will kick off the 2008 Winner's Tour in last year's Host City Helsinki, on the 28th of May. The same day, the entourage will travel to Sweden's capital Stockholm. On the 29th, after more promotional activities in the Swedish capital, the winner will move on to Oslo in neighbour country Norway. Indeed, that's three countries in just two days!

The tour will bring the winner of the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest through a total of eight European countries between 28th of May and 3rd of June.

  • 28th of May: Helsinki (Finland) and Stockholm (Sweden)
  • 29th of May: Stockholm (Sweden) and Oslo (Norway)
  • 30th of May: To be announced!
  • 31st of May: London (United Kingdom)
  • 1st of June: Ostend (Belgium)
  • 2nd of June: Paris (France)
  • 3rd of June: To be announced!

The Winner's Tour schedule is preliminary, and last minute changes ánd additions can be made. A special Winner's Tour website will be launched by the end of the week by eurovision.tv

Last year, the European Broadcasting Union offered the first ever Winner's Tour to Marija Šerifovic' from Serbia, visiting Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Greece.

If, like last year, the winning song isn't even going to be released in most of the countries they're touring, there's no actual use in promoting it at all, is there?

@ Jesse Kuiper

The same is true for Germany. She wasn't in a TV show and I don't know if she has at least an radio interview. I heard absolutely nothing about her visit in Germany in the news and I searched for them at that time. I only know that the winner's tour was also in Germany from esctoday and the official ESC site.

I think it would be better if the EBU sponsor a tour for the ESC winner, where the winner can choose the countries he like to visit. In that way the winners can promote their songs in countries where they think their song could be a success. Lets face it, most winners won't have success in the charts of most countries.

Last year Marija came to the Netherlands but she didn't score a single hit here. Only the Serbian immigrants came en masse to her performance in Amsterdam.

I think a winner's tour is useless if the only people who visit it are immigrants and some fans.

I have a feeling the winner will also be off to Ukraine and Turkey as well!

I hope they go to some eastern countries, its very strange that they don't actually, given that there is more serious interest in eastern europe :O
