After weeks of preparation, the time has come tonight: Joost Klein (26) will perform in Malmö with ‘Europapa’ in front of the whole of Europe – and beyond. We will tell you exactly what time you should be ready so that you don’t miss anything from his already much-discussed performance.
Joost will perform on Thursday during the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The broadcast starts at 9 p.m., but it will be a while before the ‘friesenjung’ enters the stage of the Malmö Arena. Joost’s turn is only sixteenth, as the very last act. Going out with a bang, the EBU must have thought. So what time do we really have to be ready?
The times of the Eurovision Song Contest are always subject to change, because it is such a large live production that often runs late. In any case, the show starts at 9 p.m. and is expected to last until approximately 11:20 p.m. Do you want to see Joost purely and solely? Then you certainly don’t have to turn on the TV before 10 p.m. Joost was during the dress rehearsal can be seen an hour and a half after the start. So he is expected to be on the Swedish stage around 10:30 PM.
For the real Eurovision fans, the party starts at 8:28 PM on NPO 1 with a preview. Rik van de Westelaken looks ahead to the Eurovision Song Contest, Cornald Maas and Jacqueline Govaerts share the latest news from Malmö and Hila Noorzai makes reports behind the scenes.
Will you listen to Cornald Maas and Jacqueline Govaert’s commentary on NPO 1, or will you switch to the BBC for Graham Norton’s comic criticism?
