Eurovision Song Contest in Groningen

Joost Klein Takes the Stage

Today marked the long-awaited unveiling of Joost Klein's Eurovision song. What's your impression? Will it earn DOUZE POINTS? With his song 'Europapa', Joost aims to conquer the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö. He presented his song on Thursday during a special afternoon show of De Avondshow with Arjen Lubach.

Back to Sweden

Following Loreen's victory, the 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Sweden. This marks the seventh time the event will be held in Sweden, which previously hosted it in 2016. Notably, it has been 50 years since ABBA won the contest in England with their iconic hit 'Waterloo' in 1974.
