Omroep Max, the Dutch national broadcaster, are talking down participation, at the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest, in Burgas.

FOLLOWING on from their initial interest, Omroep Max are now playing down taking on the Dutch participation – if AVROTROS remains away from the Contest for another year. However, Jan Slagter, Head of Omroep Max, has told AD, Dutch national media, that he is now more hesitant about his channel taking on the competition. Jan Slagter, Head of Omroep Max, had the following to say:

“A request is not on the table, but if there were one, we would first have to discuss it internally at Max. Furthermore, the songs performed there nowadays, with all that noise and screaming, don’t really resonate with our target audience. It is more of a show than a genuine song festival.”
