Defqon.1 Netherlands

Defqon.1 takes place in Biddinghuizen, Netherlands, on the grounds next to the Walibi Holland amusement park, its home since 2011. Founded in 2003 by organiser Q-dance, it has grown into the world's largest hardstyle festival, spreading across around fifteen stages devoted to hardstyle, rawstyle, hardcore, uptempo and frenchcore. Open only to those 18 and over, the event runs over several days, from Friday's Gathering through to Sunday's closing ceremony.
