Eurovision 2024: Netherlands’ Second Rehearsal

Last rehearsal for today! One of the big favorites of this year’s competition, Joost Klein with ‘Europapa,’ takes the stage for the Netherlands‘ second rehearsal.

Who is Joost Klein?

Joost Klein, a Dutch rapper, composer, and former YouTuber, was born on November 10, 1997. He is renowned for tracks like “Scandinavian Boy”, “Wachtmuziek”, and “Friesenjung”, as well as his albums M Van Marketing, Albino, and 1983. While most of his songs fall into the hip-hop genre, Joost often blends electronic music elements into his performances, including drum and bass, hardstyle, and gabber.

The Rehearsal

Our final rehearsal for today is from musician, writer and artist Joost Klein from the Netherlands, who will be wrapping up the second Semi-Final with his banging dance track Europapa. Come for the high-energy rave and the lyrical tour of Europe, stay for the bit at the end where it goes full happy hardcore.

Fans of Joost will be delighted that his signature dance moves and giant blue shoulder pads have be shipped to Malmö, along with a keyboard player dressed as a fluffy blue and yellow bird – presumably to represent both the EU flag but also conveniently repping Sweden. The LED wall is a manic visual tour of the lyrics, and the whole thing is three minutes of infectious dance energy, with Joost flanked on stage by two female dancers in white tracksuits.
