Defqon.1 is the hardstyle pilgrimage: four days of kicks, flames and a spectacular endshow on what fans call the Holy Grounds in Biddinghuizen. After the 2026 edition was cut short after its opening Thursday because of the first ever code red heat warning, Q-dance is back in 2027. The theme, revealed at the Kick-off on 1 October 2026, is The Deepening, and Scottish duo Rebelion are making the anthem.
