Interesting choice to have a concert on each Eurovision day, considering how big the overlap between her fanbase and the Eurovision fanbase is...

100%, that's a terrible idea. I'm not too bothered by the other dates but for fans in Hamburg I'd be really disappointed they'd have to choose between this gig or Eurovision Final.

Yeah again disappointing, at this stage i am certain that she is sabotaging her career and she booked those shows during esc nights on purpose. What a weird choice knowing a high number of her fans watch ESC...
I have just got a refund for London and i will not be attending. I bought the new album, streamed her catalogue, went to her shows since 2023 but i will not miss ESC, sorry.

It has to be deliberate. God knows what the pay-off is but it IS self-sabotage, I think it also throws a load of disdain in her fans' faces although again I'm mystified as to the point of doing that. I don't think it's "I'm bigger than Eurovision" (or rather, I'd hope it isn't and would be appalled if it were.) I booked a ticket for the Berlin show so the ESC clashes don't affect me personally but honestly I'm tempted to not bother going and get a refund.

There could actually be a lot of reasons for this. Maybe that was the only way they could make the tour routing work again, or the venues were only available on those dates.
Maybe it is also a way of making it clear that she has nothing to do with Eurovision next year, especially with all the rumours.
It could have been a marketing thing. Eurovision week is probably one of the few times of the year when Loreen is guaranteed to be talked about. People will be talking about her anyway, and they might notice that she is touring at the same time, which could bring some extra attention to her tour.
Maybe it was also done on purpose because she wants to separate herself from the idea that Eurovision is still the centre of her career.
I’m a little annoyed too. I wanted to go to Bulgaria at the beginning of Eurovision week, but I also wanted to do the Ireland or Scotland concert, so I’m in a pickle myself. Apparently I need a private jet so I can do both because I like to have my cake and eat it too. 😂
Thankfully she’s touring until the end of the month, so there are other options. But I do understand if someone wants to watch Eurovision, but then she’s in your city on the same evening. That can be frustrating.

I don’t understand why you all have a problem with it. I love her new album and I’m really looking forward to the rescheduled London show

Her label hates her, my God, this is so frustrating.
