Singer Robin Dirksen studied at the Herman Brood Academy. She met producer Robin Veldman in the bathroom of his own studio. Together with Jaap Wiewel, the three of them formed AVA NOVA. The trio released their first EP, called ‘As You Please’ in early 2019 and gave a successful show at Parkpop last summer. On February 6 they were able to add a debut album to their CV, ‘Poppy but Unpolished’, which was well received by fans and (online) press.

This show is made possible in part by Paard.

Safe concert visit in PAARD
It has been announced through the Haaglanden Safety Region that the PAARD program can continue in the future with a maximum capacity of 130 people. This means that our program can continue as planned. Of course, our (strict) 1.5m measures that have already been implemented will remain in force. There are also a number of new rules: mouth masks are mandatory in the building (except on the seat), our bar stops serving at 9:30 PM and it’s not allowed to drink after 10 PM. We hope that everyone will continue to do their very best with us to comply with the measures within and outside PAARD. For more information click here.
