“Weekend Warriors, welcome home”

As always, the Defqon.1 weekend will have countless highlights. On Thursday, anthem creators Sound Rush will welcome all Weekend Warriors to the BLUE stage, while Mad Dog is set to open the BLACK stage for all hardcore maniacs. One day later, Ran-D will open the mighty RED mainstage on Friday during The Opening Ceremony. Making a highly anticipated return, Showtek graces the RED stage delivering a melodious set. This year’s Spotlight shows will be in the good hands of Spitnoise (at the BLACK) and Sefa (at the RED), who will take good care of the endshow.

On Saturday, raw hardstyle artist Rooler is set to debut solo on the RED stage, while Dual Damage will have their first appearance at the Holy Grounds with a performance on the BLUE stage. On top of that, POWER HOUR awaits you with fireworks, pyrotechnics, dancers, and the famous 'left-right' moment. Hardcore legend Angerfist is set to close the RED stage on Saturday, making history as the first-ever hardcore act to take on this role.

Five hours of pure joy await at The Closing Ceremony

When it comes to Defqon.1, there are a couple of certainties: the highly energetic PowerHour is set to return, without a doubt. Additionally, the RED stage will transform into The Closing Ceremony on Sunday to mark the end of the festival. However, for their 20th celebration of Defqon.1, Q-dance decided to spice things up a bit.

The upcoming edition of Defqon.1 presents a grand finale with The Closing Ceremony, featuring a five-hour show instead of the typical three hours. An impressive fireworks spectacle will mark the peak of the show. Although the line-up for The Closing Ceremony is (and will remain) a mystery, we can already assure you that a lot Defqon.1 Legends will make appearances to conclude this edition unforgettably.
