The Eurovision points from the Netherlands will be presented live from the Oldehoofsterkerkhof square in Leeuwarden and will be announced by Nikkie de Jager, known worldwide for her beauty YouTube channel Nikkie Tutorials. In 2021 she was one of the hosts of the Eurovision in Rotterdam.
Lyrics from this year’s Dutch entry, Europapa, will be projected onto the Oldehove church tower in different languages as Nikkie delivers the points.
Friesland Deputy Commissioner Sijbe Knol told DVHN this is the first time the Eurovision points announcement will be filmed outside the Randstad bubble.
