Amsterdamse Popprijs Halve Finales

The Vibe

Six acts, one stage, one shot at the final. Amsterdamse Popprijs Halve Finales takes over Paradiso on 13 October 2026, and it's giving pure Under the Radar energy. If you want to say you saw them before they blew up, this is your night.

The line-up

Salamander, Mødi, OCTOPUS, Green Policy, MLHA, Adaisy. Six names, zero skips. Expect a mix of Indie & Alternative and Jazz & Soul, all Live Ready. These are the acts your future self will pretend to have discovered first.

Pull up

Doors at 20:00. Don't be that person rolling in at 22:00 and missing the opener. Semi-finals mean every act is going hard for a spot in the final, so the energy is high from the start. Late Night Energy, but the good kind.

Real talk

This isn't a nostalgia trip. It's a Hidden Gem night for people who actually care about new Dutch music. No Vibe Stagnation here. Just six bands trying to outplay each other, and you get to watch.

Insider tips

Get there by 20:00. The first act sets the tone, and you don't want to miss it.
Check out all six names beforehand. You'll enjoy it more when you know what's coming.
It's a semi-final, so the crowd is full of friends and family of the bands. Respect the support, but also bring your own energy.
