The Netherlands: Joost Klein is off to Eurovision 2024!

Dutch public broadcaster AVROTROS has revealed that Joost Klein will represent the Netherlands at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö.

The Dutch internal selection procedure

After the submission window closed in early October, the Dutch selection committee was tasked with reviewing over 600 proposals. These 600 entries were whittled down to nine, and finally to five. In order to assess their vocal prowess and prevent a recurrence of the circumstances that led to the nation’s first non-qualification this year after eight years of successful participation in the competition, the five artists were asked to perform their songs live in front of the selection committee. His vocal and performance abilities were therefore taken into consideration when choosing the Dutch representative.

A few words about Joost Klein

He is known for his songs “Scandinavian Boy”, “Wachtmuziek” and “Friesenjung“, and his albums M Van Marketing, Albino and 1983.
