The best weekend of the year is upon us! No matter if you’re a first-time Weekend Warrior or if you attend Defqon.1 every year – we all feel overwhelmed when packing for the best weekend of the year. We got you though! We put together the ultimate Defqon.1 packing checklist so you’re perfectly prepared.
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.
