      doesnt mean its better just because of that or that festivals with LED Walls are not good ;-) at the end its all about the music and not Design /Decor Elements

    • @stukjefruit
      @stukjefruit Месяц назад

      It is definitely about both, the music and the design, create 1 big show together, standing in front is seeing the dancers, standing in the back is seeing all the fireworks in its entirety. Its all about the feeling of being there with 60.000 + people ,feeling the music and seeing the greatness of the show. And in the end you can see it all on youtube because they do an incredible job with their after movies as well🎉

    Don't let your past define the choices we make in the present, for these are the moments, that define our future.
    Now, take a look around you, brothers and sisters in arms, look how far we've come, own the moment, embrace your individuality.
    Head high, head first, don't be afraid to dig deeper, don't be afraid of what you find, learn to love the darkness.
    So we can see ourselves in the light, so when you question the times, always remember, we will rise again.

  •  9 месяцев назад +16

    Awesome reactions from you guys as usual!
    And as a Defqon.1 veteran, I highly recommend that you take an opportunity and visit this festival. So I thought that I could give some general information about the festival.
    - The festival is usually the last weekend in June, in The Netherlands (Europe)
    - It is since last year a 4 day event, from Thursday to Sunday.
    - The festival have a couple of highlighting events over the weekend. "The Gathering" Thursday opening acts, "The Spotlight" Friday closing that focus on new stuff from one DJ (Pyro n Light), "The Power Hour" one hour of complete madness and crowd interaction, "The Endshow" Saturday closing show as you just now have watched, "The Closing Ritual" Sunday festival closing show (with more Pyro n Lights).
    - They have 12 different stages on the festival area + 3 smaller stages around the camping sites.
    - Over 250 DJ sets over the stages and days.
    - There are 6 camp sites, one of them last year was called "The Highlands" (the camp area for big friend groups that travel together), one other was "The Sanctuary" (the campsite with more premium options of camping)
    - The ticket prices starts around 280-290 EUR / person for a regular weekend ticket and all the way up to over 1000-1200 EUR / person for the most premium choices of camping.
    - If I'm not remembering wrong, they announced that they had abit over 250 000 unique ticket visitors. One of the reasons is that they sell both Weekend tickets and Daytickets. But the visitor numbers are around +120 000 visitors per day.

    2 cents of someone who was there for a couple of times:
    1st: I feel your idea with the screens, so everyone can see the on stage performances, but they would definitly kill the vibe. All these performances on stage(as the ones during Power Hour) are mainly for the video productions I guess.
    2nd: You really have to check out the Closing Ritual of 2023. The track „Lost Without You“ is one of the best productions of the last couple of years!
    Thank you for the video!

    I started going to raves in the late 80s with the acid house era going into the breakbeat era then my favourite the happy hardcore era and then jungle/DNB gabba, I've done it all. Back then it was all about the music and the show was sort of an after thought. But now these shows are incredible. I'm in my mid 50s now and disabled so haven't been to a rave for ages. Fuck, I miss it.
    But seeing the younger generation with the passion I had and still have just warms my heart. Going to nights like these will stay with you your whole life.

    Hey you two, another great reaction to our holy ground we call home. You'll encounter metal fans on the festival grounds too.
    To fill some of your thoughts and questions, some already answererd in recent comments.
    Regarding Harrys thoughts about the production and beeing in the crowd. Yea, we rewatch the whole thing multiple times on youtube. Beeing there with friends, family and the whole harder styles family is just aweseome. Even with a good spot one will miss enough stuff to justify watching the video. Maybe you two should react to one of the after movies or 30min sets. The endshow as well as the closing ceremony is about celebrating us and let loose all the emotions. As the stages open at 11am and close down at 11pm we partied 10 1/2 hours to banging bass and zig zags. So its more about the emotional side, sometimes lacking that deep bass ;) But hey, as the festival grow so large meanwhile the endshow or closing is happen, in the black and blue they have some DJs finishing the day with hard beats. Something for everyone :)
    So in terms of size and prices. A regular four day weekend ticket with camping in 2024 (bring your tent) costs ~300 USD. Day tickets (friday, saturday, sunday) go for ~140 USD. VIP tickets or any other special adds up to it. The thurday is exclusive to the campers and each other day the festival ground is visitited by ~80-90k people. The mainstage area can hold ~65k, more will result is crowd protection measures.
    As the ticket is on the lower price side ... the drinks are more expensive. Last year (2023) one token was about ~3,85 USD given that 1 EUR is 1 USD.
    A small beer 0,2l costs 1 token. A soda is about 1,5 token. water is 2 tokens although refillable at tap water stations. Not to mention merchandise and more. They earn enough money each year :D
    As mentioned, the festival take place for four days. Thursday is the gathering, exclusive to the campers, happening 8pm to 1am to welcome us Weekend Warriors home. For this 3 stages are open. Black (Hardcore), Blue (Hardstyle), Magenta (Rawstyle). The other stages are closed.
    Friday the first day after the gathering the madness begins. All of the 14 stages are open from 11am to 11pm friday to sunday. Some close down at 10pm, but still long enough. Hence the party continues on the campground all weekend long. Saturday and Sunday are filled with special events like the Power Hour, Sunday Funday - dress up with whatever wild creation you come up with, Warrior Workout, Terror Sitdown and many more we had in the past.
    4 month left until Defqon.1 - 20 years 🥰🥳

    I get what you´re saying about the bass in some of the songs. But it´s not really a hardstyle or Defqon bass problem whether there is much or no low frequencies in there.
    The kick sound is basically a hardstyle artists signature. So it's more artist dependent, than genre specific, if there is much bass in the song or not.

    So the "Bass" issue you mentioned is because there are different artists who make music and these artists all make different types of kicks.
    There are kicks from the more Euphoric side where tracks focus on a more uplifting melodic side. The kicks there are really not that bass heavy.
    But then there's also more of the Raw side of this music where there is a focus of more bass heavy kicks rather than the melody.

The crowd is nothing you ever have experienced before so full of energy, so kind and helpful, truly one big family. I truly envy those who live in Netherlands and are able to visit this festival on a yearly basis without having to spend alot of money on it.

    Was at the very front for the end show. Wasn't really intentional, but a good area opened up in the crowd about 30 minutes before the end show.
    I knew for quite a while that fireworks were going off, but I couldn't see them at first since the stage was blocking my view. You can tell that some of the light hitting you isn't from lasers or LEDs, and you can feel the weird 'pop' as they leave their launch tubes.
    Then at some point, I turned around and looked behind me, and I was totally surrounded. A wall of fireworks, like a massive courtyard surrounded by volcanoes. It was incredible.
    (If anyone in the comments is the dude I clung to after 1527 and just sobbed, sorry. But be honest, when patted each other on the back afterwards, you were crying as well.)

    You should definetly try to watch the Defqon.1 2023 power hour. Might even have some drinks involved, that’s optional. It’s in the day time, but the vibe, stage performance with dancers, costumes and stunts, and variety is amazing. You guys would LOVE it 🙂 and thank you for reacting to these amazing hardstyle shows, i love your reactions ❤

    Great video! I was there, way back and off to the side since we got there late (had to see Dimitri K's set for a bit, can recommend watching the replay) and the song 1527 by Sefa is still my best memory of that weekend. It is said, to comment on the amount of pyro, that they shot 1527 fireworks during that song alone, to match the song name. Insane.

    I understand your criticism about the absence of screens, but there is actually a very good reasons for that. Defqon 1 is all about the raw experience. Everything should feel as if this entire festival grew out of the ground like vegetation. Having screens up would kinda ruin that. Also, every attendee knows that Q-Dance will eventually release videos from the event, and that’s where you will see everything.
    Also, paradoxically the absence of “low” bass on the distorted kicks requires the proper sound. They play way down in the low frequencies, so you need a sub with a frequency response to handle that. When you’re there, those kicks actually hit the hardest :-)

    i can give u a few answers on ur questions . first off all yes its tons of money on fire works 4 days long . in the day time they use confetti 2 simulate the fire works and in the evenings when it gets dark they use firework . about where u stand for the shows it doesnt really matter oke u are right u cant see the dansers or the shows on the actual podium if u are standing further back but screens no that will ruin the defqon vibe. about the bass ive been there so many times and before i go in i let my food in my stumic digest its so hard even in the back of every stage its goes in youre stumac and out the back . the most they earn and where they got there money back is from food and drinks . i always go on a saturday and this year 2024 it costs 125 euro for the ticket for saturday only a weekend costs 290 euro . there are in total over 4 days 250.000 people . so i hope i gave u some answers and on 2 the next one the closing ritual for 2023 :P

    Ticketprices vary due to what you want your experience to be. Either you go a specific day, the complete weekend with camping, camping with a presetup tent, a more luxurious tent with beds and sleepingbags already there for you, towards actual beds in a tent, or even a "hotel" at the campsite.
    So you can spend anything from around 90 euro to a couple thousands of euro per person
    Oh by the way, the weekend is 4 days!
    Another edit : I'm a metalhead too, but also a gabber, i love a good amount of Hardstyle, but even more Hardcore.
    If you like more stuff to react to, i got quite a few really awesome video's that have their own amount of awesomeness in a musicstyle you are unfamiliar to.

      Tomorrowland does it better... but at the same time they don't. They have the budget and tech to blow Defqon out of the water. But it's probably the raver heritage behind Qdance and the smaller contractors that makes the difference. Defqon is undisputed at this point.

  • @derKarl_stp
    @derKarl_stp 9 месяцев назад

    Instant goosebumps during multiple moments of this video... and can't wait to be back this summer... booked last october (again)
    and yes, it is simply mindblowing when you stand somewhere basically right in the middle and see the whole stage... and then you get the info after the event that this stage had a total height of 54m (to put the fireworks in relation)
    and talking about "pyro" on that festival, this was one of like 3 outdoor stages that had pyros going off... and one of the stages that had it for like 4 or 5 acts per day during the acts... and THIS is a lot... sure, the red had the area where it was the easiest to reload the pyros but they for normal did it once a day... and then they just had to watch to not set off stuff by accident
    however, when you get the last acts at the night and every act had fireworks on the red... you know how much money went up in the sky... (and the amount of production there as well with all the services and support, media broadcast with live stream, their own TV-studio on the holy grounds... you get a lot more than you expect when you pay for that, you can pay more like me with weekend premium pass and a locked off camping site... or you can go even higher with the festival hotel they set up there with your own spa area)

    • @derKarl_stp
      @derKarl_stp 9 месяцев назад

      and yes, the recordings NEVER can give you the feeling and hard hitting bass you get there... I mean I used earplugs for music events that get you clean sound but protect your ears and you could feel the bass in your chest... so yes, the recordings clipped a lot of that sound... with some soundprograms you can enhance it for a good experience at home or use a high end digital surround system... but nothing beats the real deal there... and yes, the video editing is next level... because in the crowd you can't see everything... but on the recordings you then can see what you might have missed for real

    • @derKarl_stp
      @derKarl_stp 9 месяцев назад

      the whole festival is 4 days (5 nights when you camp there) and it starts on thursday where the main stage is not open yet... so you got like 6 to 7 stages open at that time... and it starts at early afternoon in front of the entry gates with like 4 acts each, at 6PM the event itself started last year and thursday ended at 2AM at the magenta and at 3AM at the wasted lands campsite (where a dayticket user can't go)
      on friday it started 11AM on all stages besides the red and the orange, the orange opened at 2PM and the red at 3PM (and the final sounds were at 11PM at the red and then you went on to the Magenta and the night stages with the official end at 3 AM)
      saturday was like 11AM besides the red, that opened one hour later and the endshow (which you reacted to in this video) ended at 11PM (and again you then went on to the night stages where you had official parties till 3AM)
      and on sunday (day 4) it is "sunday funday" with crazy costumes and weird stuff all over... and guess what... yes... this is the one special day where basically when most other stages close the red opens one last time... at 8 PM for the final 3 acts (the blue as well as the UV which was the black for 3 days) still had open but the red is the final stage to say so with the biggest crowd... and then you only have your private afterparty once it is 11PM (because then the event is officially over but after 4 days of party you need the sleep if you aren't leaving the same day)
      monday morning was big departure day... and it was so worth it
      and yes, the tickets have a wide range but still offer a lot for the money you pay
      by the way... the shouted "defqon 1" at the end

  • @beck6505
    @beck6505 9 месяцев назад +1

    A good reaction and it's just that the atmosphere and the complete show like the pryotechnics cannot be surpassed by all hardstyle festivals and that's why defqon 1 is the best-known hardstyle festival, even in white, but there are others that are allowed Also don't forget and now the prices you have to pay for a day with over €200 and also now the genre and subgenre I only refer to what you listened to in the end show and the entire festival genre is hardcore (techno) subgenre only In the end show there were hardstyle: euphoric hardstyle, rawstyle (Psystyle, rawphoric hardstyle, Xtra raw) and outside of hardstyle there was also frenchcore and in hdm there was also reverse bass

      You really don't want to use the basic tent you can buy from the festival. It basically has no ventilation, so you will be getting up at 7:20 am, regardless of when you went to bed since the tents will get to 50 degrees as soon as the sun hits them.
      Buy a single layered tent with plenty of mesh netting that still has a good rain rating, and a battery powered fan. Honestly though, as soon as the sun wakes you up. Get up.
      Saw way too many paramedics running through the camp sites because people were getting serious heat stroke in the morning.
