The musician representing the Netherlands in the competition may still be allowed to take part in the Grand Final in Malmo, Sweden on Saturday, according to AVROTROS, the media outlet with Eurovision broadcast rights in the Netherlands.

According to several news outlets, Joost Klein will not perform in the Jury show of the ESC for the Netherlands.
It’s still open whether he will perform in the Grand Final or not.

A Dutch article additionally states that

Joost Klein is not allowed to participate in the jury show of the Eurovision Song Contest. The investigation into the incident that came out earlier on Friday has not yet been completed, AVROTROS reports. Klein does not miss out on any points: the professional jury assesses his performance in the second semi-final.

    Yeah, that’s where most of the discussion currently is. But I thought this was such major news that it deserves its own post.

      Sorry - to me it looked like it was the same topic - isn’t it?

        Yeah, it kind of is. But I thought it’s a major update and many people don’t click on posts (or even refresh them later) but just see the titles and headlines and I thought it makes sense to still reach them with this update. But I agree that this is a grey area; I could have also made it a comment.
