Hit the North presents: Redson

Redson
Redson is a pop artist from Groningen with a sound that is as honest as it is energetic. In his Dutch-language songs, he mixes pop with influences from rap and electronic music. His lyrics are raw and straight from the heart, about love, nightlife, and inner struggles. What starts as a story in his head ends as an anthem on stage. After ESNS, he continues to impress—Redson is a voice that resonates and lingers.

Lisa Ploeger
Raw country pop and heartfelt stories, that's what Lisa Ploeger's music is all about. The Dutch-based musician has already graced the stages of Liberation Festival, Eurosonic Noorderslag, and Dutch pop temple Paradiso with her rootsy music. In addition, she embarked on a tour in 2022 as one of the most booked acts during the Popronde Netherlands and performed as the opening act for Tim Knol and the Northern Dutch Orchestra. 

Hit the North is the talent development program for artists in the North of the Netherlands. Participants in Hit the North take part in intensive bootcamps, workshops, and coaching sessions focused on artistic growth and business skills. The goal is for young talents to progress to regional and national stages after completing the program. One of the performances takes place at ESNS and one of the Liberation Festivals in Northern Netherlands.
