Vengaboys to represent the UK at Eurovision

Dutch Eurodance group Vengaboys have offered themselves to represent the UK next year for Eurovision.  The Rotterdam band peaked to fame in the 90s with singles Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! and We’re Going to Ibiza that top the charts in the UK and Europe.

In a recent interview, the band said they watch this year’s Eurovision.  According to lead singer Robin Pors, it was unfair that the UK received no points.  James Newman represented the UK in Rotterdam with the song Embers finishing last.

“I was so embarrassed because the UK was really good.  The song was nice and the singer was nice but they were like, ‘Whatever, zero points.’ How was that even possible?

The Vengaboys are currently promoting their single 1999 (I Wanna Go Back), a cover of Charlie XCX and Troye Sivan single.

However, it is not known yet what will be the BBC selection process for their 2022 Eurovision representative.  The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 will take place in Italy in May 2022.
