Defqon.1 at Home begins THIS WEEKEND!

Written by Cale Hackfath.

I think we can all agree that this year has been one of the craziest and most challenging years of our lives. I don't think you would be able to find many people that haven't been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that swept across the world. The music industry has been hit extremely hard, with mass touring and festival cancellations across the world in all genres.

June/July is usually a time of the year when a majority of us Aussies travel overseas to attend some of the biggest and best festivals the world has to offer. Instead, this year most of us are just scrolling through our camera rolls, looking at the memories of past years and hoping we can party again soon.

Luckily for us, some of the big festivals have moved to an online set up this year. For all our Hardstyle fans, this weekend we have Defqon.1 at Home! With names like Sub Zero Project, D-Block & S-te-Fan, Da Tweekaz and Headhunterz, we are in for one incredible weekend! It’s your typical Defqon setup, running Friday - Sunday, beginning with the gathering and then continuing on with the Red, Blue and Black stages all weekend, before ending with the closing ceremony.

On top of this already crazy weekend, Q-dance are running the “Q-dance Quiz” with some incredible prizes up for grabs for those who think they are elite with the History of Hardstyle. Our favourites here at BTD include: Producing a track with Phuture Noize, Coffee Tour with B-Front, Escape Room with Sound Rush, 3 Day trip to a Q-dance event abroad, Your own Defqon Aftermovie in 2021 and a Duo bungee jump with your favourite Hardstyle artist!

On top of these there are another 300 prizes up for grabs across the weekend, so it’s well worth having a go!
