S10, who will represent the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest, will release her song on March 3, Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has announced. S10 was internally selected as the Dutch entry back in December. The song will premiere on radio show “Aan De Slag,” which is on the air from 9:00-12:00 CET.
Premiere at “the most beautiful cinema in the world”
S10 will release her song March 3 on radio show “Aan De Slag,” which airs on NPO 2. The event will be completely devoted to Eurovision 2022. The programme will be broadcast from Tuschinski in Amsterdam, which was named the most beautiful cinema in the world by Time Out magazine. The song and music video will simultaneously premiere on Dutch radio and the official Eurovision YouTube and social media channels. A select number of guests will meanwhile watch the premiere of the video clip from the cinema itself.

The Netherlands at Eurovision
The Netherlands is one of the founding countries of the ESC, having performed the very first song ever on the Eurovision stage back in 1956. While the result of “De Vogels van Holland” is unknown, the Netherlands have clocked 5 wins, with their most recent in 2019. However the Netherlands are also known to have had the longest ever non qualification streak in the semi-final era – they missed out on the final a whopping 8 times between 2005-2012. As the host of 2021, they automatically qualified to the final in Rotterdam. Their song “Birth of a new Age” reached 23rd place, with 11 points, all from the juries.
