Belgium: VRT invites Joost Klein for Eurovision 2025!
The recent public call of Joost Klein to the Belgian public broadcaster seems to have found a response, since the Dutch-speaking public television of Belgium with a post on social media expresses its interest in the artist and the possible representation of the country by him in Eurovision 2025 .
A few days earlier at a concert in Belgium, Joost Klein, responding to a banner of his fans calling for him to return with the Netherlands to Eurovision 2025, replied:
Who told you that I want to represent this country! Belgium call me!
Studio Brussel (VRT) did not miss the opportunity and responded to Joost Klein. The Belgian broadcaster published a post on Instagram in which it wrote: “@joostklein check private messages please, thank you”, along with a video of Klein doing his reading. While she hinted that she is trying to get in touch with the Dutch singer.

It is obvious that Belgian public broadcaster is interested in seeing Joost Klein compete in Eurosong 2025 and why not represent the country in Switzerland. VRT will hold Eurosong 2025 to select the artist and song that will represent the country in the competition. There will be no open call for song submissions, but by invitation only to established artists.
Artists who receive an invitation will be asked to submit up to two original songs to VRT. The songs will be auditioned and a committee will decide which artists and which songs will compete in Eurosong 2025, to represent Belgium at Eurovision 2025.
Recall that the Dutch singer Joost Klein was disqualified a few hours before the final of Eurovision 2024 after a complaint filed against him by a Swedish photographer in the production of the contest. The complaint, which has gone to justice, was that Joost Klein used violence against her.
The Deputy Director General of the European Broadcasting Union, Jean Philip De Tender, referred to Joost Klein’s desire to compete in Eurovision 2025, saying that this is possible, as long as his participation would not violate the contest’s regulations:
If there is no violation of the rules, I see no reason why he cannot participate. at Eurovision 2025.
Unlike Belgium, which is already moving forward with the procedures to find its representative in the next contest, Joost Klein’s native Netherlands, has not yet made it clear whether it will take part in Eurovision 2025, pending actions from the EBU, to avoid situations that happened in Malmö.
