Six nights, one legendary venue, an atmosphere unlike anything else: welcome to EuroClub 2026, the official after-party of the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. From May 11 to 16, the iconic PraterDOME — Austria’s largest nightclub — becomes the global headquarters for fans, delegations and artists. Here’s everything you need to know to make this the week of your life.
EuroClub 2026: the official fan gathering in Vienna
Organised by the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) in partnership with ORF and the City of Vienna, EuroClub is the official after-show event of the Eurovision Song Contest. For decades it has brought together fans, artists and national delegations every night in an electrifying atmosphere found nowhere else in the world.
For 2026, the PraterDOME — located steps away from the famous Viennese Ferris wheel — is a particularly symbolic choice. This pillar of Austrian nightlife welcomes thousands of partygoers weekly across 4 dance floors and 12 themed bars. From May 11 to 16, it transforms entirely into an Eurovision wonderland.
The official host for all evenings is Eric Papilaya, Austria’s representative at Eurovision 2007, who will guide the audience through six unforgettable themed nights. The semi-finals (May 12 & 14) and the Grand Final (May 16) will be broadcast live on the venue’s giant screens.

Weekly pass €120 or single nights: how to choose?
The big question before booking: should you invest in the €120 weekly pass, or buy tickets individually? The answer depends on your schedule and budget. Here’s an honest comparison.
| Night / Option | Ticket price | Doors open |
|---|---|---|
| 🎟️ Weekly Pass (May 11–16) | €120 | All nights |
| Opening Night — May 11 | €20 | 10:00 PM |
| ICE NIGHT – White Party — May 12 | €20 | 8:00 PM ⚡ |
| Pink Night — May 13 | €25 | 10:00 PM |
| Euro Carnival — May 14 | €25 | 8:00 PM ⚡ |
| Euro Justice Night — May 15 | €25 | 10:00 PM |
| Glitter Night (Grand Final) — May 16 | €35 | 8:00 PM ⚡ |
⚡ Semi-final nights (May 12 & 14) and Final night (May 16) open at 8 PM for the live broadcast of the show.
Our recommendation: If you’re in Vienna for the full Eurovision week (May 11–16), the €120 weekly pass is the best value — it works out to €20 per night on average and gives you total freedom every evening. If you can only attend 2 or 3 nights, prioritise the Glitter Night on May 16 (Grand Final night, the most festive) and the Opening Night on May 11 for the ultimate EuroClub experience.
