DI-RECT, Roxy Dekker, WIES and Suzan & Freek with Claude also received awards
Last night, during the nineteenth edition of the 3FM Awards, the Dutch music prizes, determined by the 3FM listener, were presented at Poppodium PAARD in The Hague. In recent weeks, the Dutch public could vote for their favorites. Froukje and Joost emerged as the big winners. The Hague band DI-RECT, brand new 3FM Talent Roxy Dekker, WIES and Suzan & Freek with Claude also received a coveted 3FM Award.
For Eurovision Song Contest participant Joost, the evening took a surprising turn: his fans pulled out all the stops to win the award for Best Fan. They succeeded: under the leadership of Mae, the fan club organized the most striking action for Joost, as a result of which they received the first 3FM Award for Best Fan on stage. For the second year in a row, Joost also won the 3FM Award for Best Artist. Froukje received the award for Best Album for her album ‘Neozakelijk Verdriet’. She also won Best Song for her song ‘Kwijt’.
