The Dutch city of Aalsmeer will host two semi-finals on Friday 13 and Friday 20 September, with the final on Friday 27 September.  Each semi-final will consist of four songs, with two from each automatically making it through to the final.  A further ‘wild card’ entry will be selected from the unlucky four non-qualifiers.  A 50/50 mix of televoting and jury will determine the finalists and winner.

Broadcaster AVROTROS has also announced that a CD of the eight songs will go on sale from Friday 22 August.  Tickets are also on sale for the three televised shows.

The eight songs are:

Semi-final 1

Bobby & Ella – ‘Hard to explain’

Chelsea – ‘Waarom’

Sem – ‘Jij staat op nummer 1’

Suze – ‘Holiday’

Semi-final 2

Anne & Anique – ‘Dromen’

Beau – ‘De wind’

Julia – ‘Around’

Sebastiaan – ‘2gether we are one’

The Netherlands has participated in every Junior Eurovision, and has won once – in 2009.  Ralf Mackenbach won in Kyiv with the song ‘Click clack’.
