TL;DR

The Netherlands will not participate in Eurovision 2027, arguing the contest can no longer be considered neutral due to divisions over the Gaza war. AVROTROS says recent changes fail to restore the event’s independent character. Next year’s contest will be held in Burgas, Bulgaria, while the 2026 edition drew 131 million viewers but saw multiple countries boycott over Israel’s participation.
