Hit the North presents: Redson & Bliss

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.

Bliss
Bliss is an indie rock band rooted in friendship and forged on stage. With catchy songs, raw edges, and a hefty dose of energy, they know how to captivate any audience. From Vera Groningen to the aftershow of Racoon at AFAS Live. Think the melody of Inhaler with the attitude of Nirvana. Their debut EP is coming out this year, but live they’re already impossible to miss. Bliss is ready to take the big leap.

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.
