Rob Acda Awards, Patronaat & Oedipus present:
Mash Night, a showcase of talent from Haarlem-town. 

The Rob Acda Awards are the professional music competition for promising musicians from Haarlem and the surrounding area. The competition is the gateway to a spot in De Popronde van Nederland and, for many, the stepping stone to the next stage of their musical career. 

In the 2025 edition, Oedipus gave the Wildcard award to Tiepfout, who will now get the chance to play at Oedipus.
We also invited Rhodon Cerice, 2024 contender. 

The Mash Night marks the start of the Rob Acda Awards 2026, starting in November.

Tiepfout
Tiepfout takes pop punk back to its roots: fast chords, hooks that stick in your head, and unfiltered fun. With Dutch-language lyrics full of humor and self-deprecation, the band mixes nostalgic energy with themes of today. Live, it's simple: anything goes, except standing still.

Rhodon Cerise 
Rhodon Cerise is a singer-songwriter from Haarlem whose hypnotic alternative folk conjures an enchanting atmosphere. Her music combines dreamy guitars with powerful drums and is steeped in a soft palette of vulnerability and strength. Her voice draws listeners into a realm where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur.
