The ultimate Defqon.1 packing list: “All you need to bring!” 

From June 22 – 25, 2023, Biddinghuizen will become the Mecca for Hard Dance lovers worldwide once again. Defqon.1 is the biggest Harder Styles event in the world and a must-visit for literally everyone. With a gigantic campground, festival-goers get the ultimate Defqon experience when camping, but also those who like it a bit more luxurious are catered with the Q-dance Travel & Stay packages that offer hotels & cottages in combination with an entrance ticket.

With only one month left ’till we will unite at the holy grounds of Defqon.1, we of course, want to be perfectly prepared for all situations and weather conditions (Defqon is in the Netherlands after all), we created the ultimate Defqon.1 checklist of what to bring.
