BURGAS 2027 · REHEARSALS & PREVIEWS
Eurovision 2027 Preview Shows explained
Eurovision 2027 will have 6 ticketed Preview Showsalongside the three televised Live Broadcasts. Official rules describe audience Dress Rehearsals including a jury dress rehearsal and a family preview show before each live programme.
Nine ticketed arena shows in total
The Burgas 2027 plan includes 9 ticketed shows: three televised Live Broadcasts and 6 Preview Shows. Eurovision's Burgas FAQ says two Preview Shows will take place ahead of each Live Broadcast.
The Preview Shows are real arena performances in front of an audience, but they are not the televised Semi-Final or Grand Final broadcasts themselves.
What the 2027 rules say about rehearsals
The public Contest rules say every Semi-Final and Grand Final Live Broadcast is preceded by Dress Rehearsals at the Eurovision venue. Those audience rehearsals include a jury dress rehearsal and a family preview show.
This is more precise than assuming old fan terminology automatically applies unchanged to Burgas. Song Contest Radar will use the official 2027 naming and timing once the detailed show schedule is published.

Why fans choose a Preview Show
A Preview Show offers the arena experience without being the televised Live Broadcast. It can therefore be useful for fans comparing ticket options across Eurovision week. The exact production format, audience instructions and running times for Burgas will be clearer once the detailed event schedule is released.
If your priority is the live television event itself, use the three dedicated show pages. If your priority is seeing Eurovision inside Arena Burgas and keeping more ticket options open, the six Preview Shows are worth tracking alongside the Live Broadcasts.
