The Dutch artist Joost Klein is to perform at the Homecoming festival, which takes place in Uppsala on 30-31 August, the organiser announces.

Joost Klein was one of the favourites in this year's European Championship Song Contest in Malmö with his entry "Europapa", but he was disqualified just a few hours before the final after being reported to the police for unlawful threats against a TV photographer.

The latest news in the case came two weeks ago when the prosecutor announced that further questioning would take place on location in the Netherlands.

Other headliners at the festival are Zara Larsson, Veronica Maggio, and Victor Leksell.
