Mr Logan (71), dubbed Mr Eurovision, will perform alongside other Eurovision former winners and contestants, running between June 15 and July 2.<\/p>\n
In a post on social media, Mr Logan wrote: \u201cFinally, the secret is out, I\u2019m looking forward to performing with all these other artists involved all over Europe and to sharing the Eurovision magic with all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eurovision announced the Eurovision Live Tour earlier this year, which includes 10 shows across Europe, including London, Hamburg, Milan, Zurich, Antwerp, Cologne, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Paris, and Stockholm.<\/p>\n
Mr Logan will perform across seven shows, as he won\u2019t appear in Milan, Zurich or Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
The Australian-born Irish singer won the contest for Ireland three times \u2013 in 1980 with What\u2019s Another Year, and in 1987 with Hold Me Now. He also composed the winning song Why Me in 1992, performed by Linda Martin.<\/p>\n
Other acts announced for the tour are Ukraine\u2019s Verka Serduchka, Finland\u2019s Lordi, UK\u2019s Katrina Leskanich, Greece’s Helena Paparizou, Australia\u2019s Guy Sebastian, and Norway\u2019s Alessandra.<\/p>\n
It comes as RT\u00c9 decided to pull out of the song contest and not broadcast the competition, following the EBU general assembly in Geneva in December, which confirmed Israel would be allowed to compete in the singing competition.<\/p>\n
Broadcasters from the Netherlands, Iceland, Spain, and Slovenia also made decisions not to take part in the contest for the same reason.<\/p>\n
Mr Logan previously said he was \u201cproud\u201d of RT\u00c9\u2019s decision to withdraw from the contest over Israel\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n
Speaking to RT\u00c9\u2019s This Week in December, he said the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) should not have allowed Israel to take part in the song contest this year.<\/p>\n
“I really feel that in this case, RT\u00c9 definitely made the right decision,\u201d he said at the time. “I don’t think that Israel should be allowed to hide under the umbrella of the Eurovision… make it look as though everything’s okay, business as usual, because it’s not.\u201d<\/p>\n
“I think most people in Ireland would agree with that.<\/p>\n
“I think that the EBU should have made a decision regarding Israel, a decision removing them from the show and taking that decision away from individual countries.<\/p>\n
“But, being as it is, I really think that what Ireland, what RT\u00c9, have done is exactly the right thing to do. I support them 100pc,\u201d he added at the time.<\/p>\n
The musician also said broadcasters from other countries should follow suit and boycott this year\u2019s song contest.<\/p>\n
Mr Logan\u2019s management has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n
