Indeed, last year with friends we wanted to go for Tomorrowland but we couldn't buy a tickets, so we were "unlulucky", I gave an idea to try hardstyle event because we liked this genre a lil bit, defqon was already sold out, so we had choosen Intents festival, just to try because we only liked olschool hardstyle and hardcore was to hard for us, but we traveled almost 1500km by car, and duuude it tottaly worth it, it was the best expiriences in our lives, so we went again for decibel outdoor, then for qlimax then for Thunderdome. This year we arlady booked and airbnb houser for 3 months and we are gonna to participate in each single hardstyle event in NL. We also plan to go for Ozora festival in Hungarym it aint hardstyle, but psytrance and morelike spiritual oriented festival, rated also as one of the bests in the wolrd. Pece :)

im glad i was there 2 times, man i loved your reaction and was cying the whole time, gabba - hardstyle- hardcore what ever you wanna call it, is a big part of netherlands and german culture, we are very fortunate to have those festivals pretty much each summer in every month. this in particular is defqon 1 , it's in the netherlands and hosted once a year, it's incredeible. All people coming from this genre are the most wholesome people i ever met and partied with - love from germany, i'm in tears right now, loving your reaction! i do produce in this genre as well since recent :)

was honestly one of the most amazing things ive ever seen

[@henkebenke573]

Many people goes to this every year! And yeah they even did this show during corona but without any people in the crowd.

[@ricardop1991]

I’ve been to the 2022 defqon1 festival. Every year the stage has a different theme. This year stage represents the phoenix, who eventually will arise from it’s own ashes. The endshow is a real masterpiece.

This is definitely the best Reaction ever of Defqon.1 welcome to the tribe 🧡🧡

[@theultimatewalker1510]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got another one! Great introduction to Hardstyle. This is how we party in the Netherlands🎉🎉🎉

[@ExtremeTeddy]

Welcome to the world of Hardstyle and our holy grounds at Defqon.1 🥰 Defqon.1 2022 was special in regard as it was the first edition after COVID. The festival features 14 stages with genres of the harder styles in EDM, for example Euphoric Hardstyle, Hardcore, Uptempo, Frenchcore, Industrial, Raw. The phoenix at the mainstage is approximately 100-120m wide. Have no exact numbers available, but there are some numbers from previous editions available. For this year edition the weekend warrior ticket - 4 days incl. camping - is about 300€. Bring your own tent and join the tribe. Sure there more pricey options available. Enjoyed your reaction and had to water my eyes when they played "raise again". Yea, it is always a great experience to witness in person ❤ Q-Dance is known for their shows. So all the effects are in sync as best as possible. I remember 2018, when the endshow was out of sync due to weather effects. The next day at the closing ceremony (last day) everything was spot on! 😁

[@johngray1009]

2022 was my first edition. I had my ticket for 2020. You can only imagine just how intense the buildup and anticipation was for us. I balled my eyes out during this! So many different emotions. 2024 will be my 3rd. Its also the 20th anniversary edition. Hoping Q Dance does something epic!

Even went down to Dubrovnik to see the city center where Game of Thrones was filmed the day we departed. What an epic vacation!

Also you're so right this is so once of lifetime have to see level. I tried to get in there on 2023, but from Finland it was actually not so cheap to get there, with hotels and everything. I ain't sleeping in tent there at 44yo. I was in army already. Lmao. No one was that cost was going over my budget for the whole weekend, and my father passed away 6 months before i was suppose to leave. I had to do all the burial stuff and such so i didn't even notice i missed the last year's event.

Yes, yearly event, about in my backyard (its like 3 miles and I can hear the tunes). Endshows are on both saturday and sundays. Also check out the power hour, 1 hour of complete madness (stunt pilots, inflatables, confetti bombs, you name it). Just one of the many festivals we have here, altough Defqon is one of the biggest. They do come with amazing decors each year.

It’s an annual hard dance festival hosted in the Netherlands. It runs from a Thursday until Sunday night in June or July. It started off essentially as a hardstyle event, but over the years has progressed onto other genres of hard dance music. You said that it should be known everywhere.. It is, from all corners of the world people know Defqon.1 Thursday is the opening night of the festival, Saturday is the penultimate night which ends with The Closing ritual, it is slightly similar to the endshow, in that it signifies the festival will soon be over and the final day Sunday, is jam packed with artists from 11am until late culminating with the Endshow.

Great reaction! This is in the Netherlands as you can read in the other reactions, Defqon 1 is every year and is the biggest hardstyle festival in te world but in fact almost every weekend there are several festivals across the country, smaller, mid sized en the big ones like Defqon 1, Dominator, Decibel outdoor , Mysteryland, Awakenings Summer Festival, Dancevalley, and many other outdoor festival and also there are a lot indoor festivals. the endshows are always amazing. Q dance events are the more harder style festival, Always awesome. as suggested in other reactions check also the Defqon 1 endshow 2023 and the closing rituals

[@MVG1982]

Welcome to the Defqon party teh Netherlands. This event takes place every year and lasts 4 days. Most of the music played is hardstyle and related genres such as hardcore, jumpstyle and hard trance. Weekend ticket costs around 300 per person and then the camping is added. This festival is known throughout Europe and sells out within minutes. The first was the 'Maximum Force Readiness' edition in 2003, and since then editions such as 'Get Wasted' and 'No Guts No Glory' have been celebrated. The popularity of Defqon 1 grew so fast that spin-off versions have also been organized in Chile and Australia since 2011, which has also been a great success. This show was of course the first after the corona pandemic (4 years) and is getting bigger and bigger every year with different stages and 65,000 visitors every day. On Saturday they always do an aftershow like this and on Sunday close ritual. For me personally, this one and the one from 2018 and 2023 are the best.

[@TrippedAlien]
