Every hardstyle fanatic across the globe was sad when the Defqon.1 was officially canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis but the festival organizers offered fans a full online alternative to party from the safety of their homes. “Defqon.1 at Home” experience which took place last weekend was indeed a massive success with millions of fans from more than one hundred and forty different countries tuned in to this three-day hardstyle livestream.

With over 80 artists, the 72-hour broadcast broke their own record of 5.5 million viewers last year, by garnering over 8 million viewers. Last weekend, Defqon.1 kicked off this online experience on Friday with The Gathering, fans danced from left to right through the living room during POWER HOUR: Six Years of Insanity, and on Sunday evening, the festival ended with The Closing Ceremony.

Jonas Schmidt, Q-dance Creative Director said:

“We obviously knew that this year would be different than normal and so we had no idea what to expect. We, therefore, did everything in our power and it’s fantastic to see how many people enjoyed this. This special edition has even exceeded all our expectations”

The three-day online festival witnessed stunning performances from the likes of Coone, Zatox, Wildstylez, Audiotricz, Headhunterz, & many major hardstyle acts. Committed to delivering a top-notch online experience, the Q-dance team set up pretty amazing stages accompanied by impressive light and pyro shows. The performances were mainly viewed from the air by using more than six drones simultaneously.
