The Closing Ritual | Sunday Endshow | Defqon.1 Weekend Festival 2019 Reaction!

[@sevendam9070]

The guy on stage is Sefa. He was chosen to play the endshow on his birthday. The endshow is always pre-mixed because it has to fit perfectly with the firework and lightshow. Which is why he had all the time to celebrate and have the moment of his live. What a better gift can a dj wish.

[@connectedeurope]

Yeah I think doing an end show like this on your birthday is 100 times better than a DJ Mag top 3 spot

[@argai1978]

Dus hij was niet echt aan het DJ'en.

[@YouriHL]

@@argai1978 Naja, ten opzichte van zijn oom 'Dr Peacock', draait Sefa wel degelijk. Wat Peacock doet in shows is een blamage voor ons échte DJ's, maar Sefa doet niet aan prerecorded shit.

[@connectedeurope]

@@argai1978 Omdat het vooraf compleet in elkaar gezet wordt, waar hij het grootste deel van heeft gedaan. En omdat het allemaal een kleine foutmarge met vuurwerk en licht heeft, een End Show is gewoon boss level. Een groot aantal festival eind shows gezien (meer dan 50) en QDance blijft imponeren.

The track at around 10 minutes is JDX ft. Sarah Maria - Live The Moment. Everyone is silent because it's a classic and everone there knows it, so they enjoy it. Oh and the bass hits way harder when you are in front of the subs ;). Like we say in the Netherlands: the bass should not be heard, it should be felt.

Just imagine. This year Defqon.1 is extended to 4 days, that means an opening ceremony and 2 regular end-shows on friday and saterday with fireworks, and another closing ceremony like this on the sunday. + another power hour, and it's all promised to be even bigger and more spectacular, because the last 2 editions where canceled due to lockdowns!

[@zer0bullets485]

I'm not one of the tech people that build a defqon stage but it for sure is very nice to hear it get appriciated, its hard work and doing a light show live is very hard. fun fact, this closing ceremony show is fully programmed in advance, the lights, lasers, fireworks, pyro and everything are set up to make a song look good in every step it plays in

To be realistic everyone wants it to end before it becomes 'normal'. We humans can only find joy in finite things. These parties can only exist for the joy of the moment, the escape of the present and creation of memories for the future. They give a feeling inside which make you look forward to the next one, while withstanding the struggle of boring normal days.
