The Netherlands: A new form of the moon landing in Eurovision 2024?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gover Meit thinks that the viewers of the Eurovision Song Contest next month will see something that has never been seen before during the event when it is the turn of the Netherlands to appear on stage. “It will be a new form of the moon landing. It has never been done before,” said the theater maker, who is coming to Malmö as creative director.

“People are not going to believe that this is physically possible,” he continued, without going into details about Joost Klein‘s act. Meit, who is known to the general public as Stefano Keizers, is a good friend of Joost and can also be seen in Europapa’s video clip. He probably won’t be on stage himself. Meit says he is needed ‘behind the scenes’.

Joost Klein has also previously said that something awaits the Eurovision Song Contest that ‘has never happened before’.

In any case, the bookmakers have high expectations of the Dutch Eurovision Song Contest entry. On Saturday Klein rose from four to three and now only has Croatia and Switzerland in front of him at the betting offices.

Eurovision 2024: Technical Rehearsals are underway at the Malmö Arena!

/1 Comment/in , /by

The technical rehearsals for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 have begun since April 18 at the Malmö Arena in Sweden.

It has been revealed by a few snippets from crew members on social media that there will be cubic platforms with lights, that spin and change positions according to each performance.


The stage seems to be built on video tecnhology, that encloses the floors, walls and ceiling, mixed with lighting and automation.

Another video reveals the amount  of camera angles during the dutch performace and the speed that they are changing.


The camera operators seem to use CuePilot, a Danish software that usually is used in proffesional and expensive productions. The software is an automation system that allows the television maker to foresee the upcoming shots and rearrange the camera moves and angles.

Swedish broadcaster and organiser of this year’s Eurovision SVT is going to work daily at the Arena to make sure that everything will be ready for the stand-in rehearsals, that are expected later this week.

We remind you that the first rehearsals with the artists are scheduled on Saturday, April 27.
