The Netherlands, which refused to participate in Eurovision 2026 because of Israel's presence in the competition, may change its position and return to the stage in 2027. According to Dutch media, broadcaster AVROTROS is expected to announce the country's return soon, and a candidate for participation has reportedly already been chosen. Information about the possible return of the Netherlands was aired on the program "De Oranjezomer." Journalist Jordi Prestigden said he received information from sources familiar with the situation, according to which AVROTROS should announce the country's return to the competition in about two weeks. According to him, the decision has already been made behind the scenes. Along with the news of the Netherlands' return, information emerged about a possible representative for the country at Eurovision 2027. According to the same report, the choice has allegedly already fallen on singer Davina Michelle. The 30-year-old Michelle is one of the well-known performers in the Netherlands and is familiar to Eurovision fans. In 2021, when the competition was held in Rotterdam, she performed in the interval act of the first semi-final. As of now, the Dutch broadcaster has not officially confirmed this information, so it remains only a media report.
