It was a big surprise when, sometime in 2019, it was announced that Hooverphonic would be representing Belgium. A group with an enormous track record since 1996. The group had a new female singer, so that worked out well. Meanwhile, that singer, Luka Cruysberghs, has had to make way for Geke Arnaert again. She has sung with Hooverphonic before and is now returning.
The song with which they will represent Belgium is called “The wrong place”.
