According to several news outlets, Joost Klein will not perform in the Jury show of the ESC for the Netherlands.
It’s still open whether he will perform in the Grand Final or not.

A Dutch article additionally states that

Joost Klein is not allowed to participate in the jury show of the Eurovision Song Contest. The investigation into the incident that came out earlier on Friday has not yet been completed, AVROTROS reports. Klein does not miss out on any points: the professional jury assesses his performance in the second semi-final.

Dutch media found Joost somewhere (looks like in his hotel) and tried to interview him, he only said "have a good day":

Meanwhile, the crowd at the Jury Show still vibed with the Europapa recording that was played:

The EBU has also postponed the opening of the "Rest of the World vote" for the final until an ongoing investigation regarding the Dutch participant has been concluded.
