The successful YouTubers from De Bankzitters want to go to the Eurovision Song Contest. They announced that on Tuesday during a press conference. Additionally, they will do a large interactive show in the Afas in Amsterdam.

De Bankzitters consist of YouTubers Milo ter Reegen, Koen van Heest, Robbie van de Graaf, Raoul de Graaf and Matthyas het Lam. They say they've been following Eurovision for years and that they want to make a serious attempt to represent the Netherlands in Malmö in 2024. On 13 January 2024 they will give a large show in the Afas in Amsterdam and they also want to show a preview of their submitted song there.

De Bankzitters previously released various successful songs, including "Je blik richting mij" with which they claimed the #1 position in the Spotify Charts in 2022 with more than 22.8 million streams. They also had three songs last year in the Top 2000.

A selection commission comprising among others Cornald Maas chooses from all submissions which act goes to Eurovision. Nothing is known yet about other submissions.

Yeah, I think a national final would be very favourable to them, but honestly I doubt that there will be one. A lot of Dutch people still have trauma from the Nationaal Songfestival. I think it would be very funny though if they get picked.
