Nikkie de Jager will give the points on behalf of the Netherlands at the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on May 11. The presenter will do this during a major event in Leeuwarden, AVROTROS announced on Tuesday.
Leeuwarden is the birthplace of Joost Klein, who represents the Netherlands this year. The broadcast will be broadcast live at the Oldehoofsterkerkhof and there will be various performances. Rappers Brunzyn and Bokoedro, good friends of Joost, are among others.
The party is a joint initiative of the municipality of Leeuwarden, the province of Friesland, pop venue Neushoorn, Omrop Fryslân and presenter Sipke Jan Bousema.
It is the first time that De Jager has awarded the points on behalf of the Netherlands. In 2021 she was one of the presenters when the Eurovision Song Contest took place in Rotterdam.
Joost still has to secure a place in the final on May 9 with his song Europapa. The chance that this will not work seems small. According to bookmakers, the singer is one of the favorites for victory in Malmö, Sweden.
