Duncan Laurence, who will represent the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the song “Arcade” will be the first artist ever from his nation to perform at the London Eurovision Party when the event hits the British capital on Sunday 14th April. Taking to the stage at the iconic West End venue of Café de Paris, Leicester Square, the Dutch act will feel the love from the intimate UK crowd ahead of representing his nation this May.
From The Voice to Eurovision
Duncan Laurence competed on The Voice of Holland in 2014, making up part of Ilse DeLange’s team. Incidentally, Ilse recommended Duncan and his song to the Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS having also previously represented the Central European nation herself, finishing in second place as part of The Common Linnets.
Arcade has already made waves in The Netherlands, peaking in the top 10 of the Top 100. Ilse has also announced that she will travel to Israel as part of the team supporting Duncan.
