Glad you guys enjoyed The Closing Ritual! How about checking it out in real life next year? 💥 And if you like pyro, we also got a thing called The Endshow at Defqon.1.
Okay about the audio, in the industry we have something called Delay stacking , sound works in waves and waves can cancel each other out those totems you see have been placed in such a way that the speakers in them are cancelling out the sound from the other speakers, which means you will not get an echo! This is it in very much a small nutshell! And the way the speakers are angled also takes away the echoing! It's weird to hear that Coachella doesn't use this for their main. It also means you don't need to push as much dB to get the sound louder in the back... Which saves energy, hearing loss and damages the speakers less quickly
I've worked at defqon this year for the first time and what was it a blast to be there i never felt more at home then at defqon great people just laughs everywhere you look everybody is happy the experience there is awsome
There are actually 4 firework shows. One ending each day. The Tribute is on the opening day, (Thursday) which is a dedication to a classic song. The Spotlight is the friday endshow, which is a dedication to a performing artist the "earned to be in the spotlight" The Endshow is the saturday endshow, the endshow of the original festival day from back when it was just 1 day. The Closing Ceremony is the sunday endshow, closing down the 4 day festival weekend.
Defqon 1 is on every year, with a new stage design every year as well. They even did one during Covid with a different format: live streaming DJ sets, filmed with drones and sometimes in unique locations like the runway of a normally busy airport. Giving their all for the Tribe.
I remember when some of these shows went online, in one they did a kind of family party, in another they did a whole great movie, and it really warmed my heart how much they cared about their audience during that time. I remember this big firework filmed via drones, but no one in front of the stage, playing a remix of "the show must go on" ... extremely emotional considering the context, we didn't really know when this pandemic shit was going to an end.
They’ve put speakers on each of the sides as well now for the people on the banks. The sound travels absolutely to perfection you can barely hear any other stages from each other. The sound is absolute perfection on the RED!
The sound there is unbelievable, also the Bass sends you on a different dimension. The soundsystem is managed by L-Acoustics who do an incredible Job! And yeah, they always follow kind of the same Theme. Always Warriors and so on And those "Special" Shows aren't live performances tho. They are Pre scripted and no dj's are on stage. Just some Motivators like Villain. The Lights and fireworks tho are not completely pre scripted. They mostly get Controlled while the Shows are going on. Thats really Impressive
This is a lifestyle most of us have followed since the early 90's. PLUR - Peace, Love, Unity, Respect - Those are the rules. No hippie shit. Just straight respect and accountability. The music makes us a family. You guys would have a blast.
that last moment of defqon.1 was wild... I mean, crowd control during the day was INSANE at powerhour... but in the night... I still remember when I was in the back of the RED with my friends, locked in arms as a huddle... and then I noticed the start of the slowed down song... and told everyone that I guess I know what's coming... and once they started the actual song I just could get us lined up before the mayham started (and you won't believe how tough it is to line up 10+ people from a huddle to a single line when half of us were a bit drunk and exhausted) but we all survived it by the way according to some sources it was like 80k people at that end during crowd control... not sure if these were official numbers but you still somehow had some room to move... so yes, it shows how large the area in front of the mainstage is (did some digital calculation on google earth recently and I only calculated the regular area without premium decks and cabanas, just the viewer area at the red stage alone including the hills was aprox. 27200m²)
Awesome reaction! But Defqon 1 is so much more than just the shows at the end, you should really react to the defqon 1 2024 aftermovie (or any other year)
5:10 as you said, coachella is just a bunch of stages with famous artists. thats why its popular, there are famous people. hardstyle is VERY small compared to those famous artists and hardstyle doesnt have world-wide famous artists, at least not on the same level as some american singers. You dont go to defqon to see a particular artist. you go to experience everything. coachella is more like an instagram influencer fest
Night time is cool but the daytime is 10x more impressive. There you can see the real MADNESS! Please react to Defcon 1 Power Hour 2023 if you wanna get hyped up ;-)
Audio at these festivals are made so that the auddio from one speaker is faint and then after the speakjers its full strength so you rarely hear any weirdness. And all speakers are one system and in sync with the rest so you dont hear weirdness because when youre speaker stops and the other speakers also stop so yeah no echo`s often unless they didnt make the setup correct.
Reaction on your question about the sound, If you're standing all the way in de back, earplugs in and your hands also on your ears, it still sounds if you're standing front row... the sound is unbelievable, the bass is so loud...
you should look up Verknipt, which is also the largest techno festival in the world in the country where I live, in the Johan Cruijf arena, but Defqon is also very cool number one 👌🏽
Guys go check aftermovie videos from previous years. Different stage design every year, different endshow every year. But daily raving is bless as well
Every year has a different theme, the merch and stages are based around it. This year's theme I think was power of the tribe. Last year was path of the warrior. It's always called defqon 1. Also they do the left right pretty much every year usually during the power hour.
on every tower you see are speakers so on the stage there is alot and then spread out on the towers there is some and also on the vip deck and premium decks to the sides and rear are also speakers for the red stage
the pyro fireworks is every year on all days....also at other hardcore/style festivals..huge stages (multi stages at 1 festival) all have pyro fireworks....Decibel, Intens, Wish, and many more...ow, watch out with the beer...it's a strong Belgium one, can hit you in the head (day after)..
Its started at NAC Breda where the lads started to go left and right on Snollebollekes then othes clubs started it and copy it even the Dutch womenfootballteam wh became champion and a year later Defqon 1 started it at the festivals ;p
Please react to Sickmode & Rooler present The Gang at Rebirth 2022. That set is freaking nuts. The crowd, the energy, the atmosphere and the music. Everything is perfect.
Sound is hard and epic,, bass be kicking haha. This sound system is crzy powerful! Its like dolby surround on steroids. Stage is different every year coherent to the theme of the festival. 14 stages all diferent styles. Show is also different every year.
Always love watching people discover and react to hardstyle events like Defqon.1 for the first time! If you're up to it, the Defqon.1 2023 Power Hour and Ghost Stories @ Defqon.1 2022 are also great watches. Cheers! 🧡
every year its a diffrent podium for the red .for me the 2017 and the 2022 red stages are the best looking and most show . this festival is from 2003 and still going strong every year . i already have tickets for 2025 its a 4 day festival it starts on thursday evening at 7 pm till sunday 11 pm 4 days off madness 12 hours a day 11 am till 11 pm . it hosts up 2 250.000 people all weekend long around 80.000 a day .some 1 mentioned the daY TIME IS BETTER the power hour 2023 whas madness go check that out / greetings from the Netherlands
the stages are completely different each year ... this is the main stage of like 10 other staged but the this is the main stage the red stage as they call it you got indoor stages and outdoor stages the endshows and the closing rituals are the best when it comes to pyro and light shows... during day time power hour is the best
every festival in europe outdoes anything they try to do in US, Defcon, TomorrowLand, Masters of Hardcore, qBase, Qlimax. Cochella and Ultra got nothing on these festivals.
Het evenement is stukken groter dan enig gabber feest in de jaren 90 in Rotterdam, maar de 'hardstyle' (nieuwe gabber feitelijk) is voor mij (energiehal, Ravestorm, Parkzicht etc), niet aan te horen. Schitterend evenement though.
Don't take this the wrong way, i like that you're drinking Duvel, not right one tho, but drinking that kind of Duvel with a dutch (amazing) video, it hurts my soul... 🤔🧐😏😅
you totally messed up a good Duvel beer. guessing you poured the whole bottle at once in the glass but your not supposed to pour in the sinkings at the bottom. It should be nice gold of color en super clear when it's poured en not so blurry like yours. But that being seath, nice review.
plastic cups would have made more sense.. first time i have seen people drinking beer from a fancy beer glas while watching a rave 🤣 wtf 🤐 these endshows are a bit lame its all about using alot of fireworks and a bit of lasers in 20 min the concerts with those effects often work better, and make more sense.. powerhour for example is alot more fun then the endshows, and it have no lasers and firework.. but it have a theme through the show it feels like the people that does this show is kind of just using what they had left from the festival i have seen a jarre concert with 5 tons of fireworks, this is kind of waste compared you should react to dr peacock in concert, he knows how to put on a defqon show
Glad you guys enjoyed The Closing Ritual! How about checking it out in real life next year? 💥
And if you like pyro, we also got a thing called The Endshow at Defqon.1.
It would be amazing to make it out to the show next year! We also checked out the end show a couple weeks back!!! It was 🔥🔥🔥 as well! ✌️🍻
W Qdance!
Great to see QDance to react to the reactions and inviting creators. Defqon.1 is always a blast to partake in. Hopefully I will be back next year.
@@BeersBars The freedom way of asking for free tickets. I hope you get the premium deal. Good reaction
@@das_minuskind6187 these reactions are also free marketing for qdance

Oh I didn't even know that, that's cool and good to know!
Yessss! More Defqon videos! 😍
I love people discovering Defqon, everyone needs to see these rituals
I've worked at defqon this year for the first time and what was it a blast to be there i never felt more at home then at defqon great people just laughs everywhere you look everybody is happy the experience there is awsome

you guys need to see defqon endshow 2023! and yes its every year this sick❤️👌🏼 welcome to the world of hardstyle!
and yes this lasts for 4 days, I only had 10 hours of sleep in 4 days last Defqon, but it was worth every second😂😉
@@Harkie0547 i had my first defqon 1 this year. 45 year old and i gave all. But yellow stage was my fav
@@Harkie0547 you sleept?!
@@roniezyes you not?😂😂

The sound is absolute perfection on the RED!
Never thought I’d watch someone react to hardatyle haha but it’s was a mad react either way!
The sound there is unbelievable, also the Bass sends you on a different dimension.

by the way according to some sources it was like 80k people at that end during crowd control... not sure if these were official numbers but you still somehow had some room to move... so yes, it shows how large the area in front of the mainstage is (did some digital calculation on google earth recently and I only calculated the regular area without premium decks and cabanas, just the viewer area at the red stage alone including the hills was aprox. 27200m²)
Defqon and Tomorrowland gotta are definitely some the biggest festivals in Europe
Awesome reaction! But Defqon 1 is so much more than just the shows at the end, you should really react to the defqon 1 2024 aftermovie (or any other year)
Defqon is definitely a bucket list item for me. Their pyro, the venue/holy grounds. The lights and ofc... the music and family of qdance events
Perfect timing ... i just finished the Endshow Reaction and was wondering, if you also have a Closing Ritual Reaction xD
5:10 as you said, coachella is just a bunch of stages with famous artists. thats why its popular, there are famous people. hardstyle is VERY small compared to those famous artists and hardstyle doesnt have world-wide famous artists, at least not on the same level as some american singers.

Please react to Defcon 1 Power Hour 2023 if you wanna get hyped up ;-)
I always love to see someone appreciate these closing rituals..
They uploaded the Defqon 1 2024 aftermovie 4 days ago if you are interested to react on that too!
Living in the Netherlands i go every year to Defqon 1 and it just gets better and better🔥🔥🔥
You hear and feel everything it’s completely perfect no matter where your stood
1. There is no sound reverb at the stage. 2. you can wear special earplugs which filter the bass. 3. every year there is a different stage.
Audio at these festivals are made so that the auddio from one speaker is faint and then after the speakjers its full strength so you rarely hear any weirdness. And all speakers are one system and in sync with the rest so you dont hear weirdness because when youre speaker stops and the other speakers also stop so yeah no echo`s often unless they didnt make the setup correct.
Reaction on your question about the sound,
If you're standing all the way in de back, earplugs in and your hands also on your ears, it still sounds if you're standing front row... the sound is unbelievable, the bass is so loud...
no attitude, all good vibes, everyone in the same house living life
oooh and yes it is always called Defqon1 there are others like dominator which is good too and a few others
They speakers are programmed so you hear al at the same time. And the sound is insane
The festival is called defqon 1 and the totems change every year with a different dj doing a different theme song also
The stages change each year :)
i‘d recommend checking out the 2023 and 2022 endshows 🙏🏻
you should look up Verknipt, which is also the largest techno festival in the world in the country where I live, in the Johan Cruijf arena, but Defqon is also very cool number one 👌🏽
yes every year they do this . greetings from the Netherlands
Guys go check aftermovie videos from previous years. Different stage design every year, different endshow every year. But daily raving is bless as well
great reaction to this vid! keep it up guys👍🏻👊🏻 btw the defqon 2022 endshow is the best there is🙈
I live about 16 km (10miles) from this. If the wind is in my direction I can hear this from my house!
Every year has a different theme, the merch and stages are based around it. This year's theme I think was power of the tribe. Last year was path of the warrior.
It's always called defqon 1. Also they do the left right pretty much every year usually during the power hour.
What I like most of this is that the color scheme matches that of my Linux setup.
So.... see you guys next year at Defqon1 2025?🎉
If You like this, You should also watch the endshow of intents 2022, and also welcome to the world of hardstyle😊
Every year they have a different MainStage
on every tower you see are speakers so on the stage there is alot and then spread out on the towers there is some and also on the vip deck and premium decks to the sides and rear are also speakers for the red stage
Seen the 2024 defqon aftermovie? So great how the edited all together.
You gotta react to ghost stories from defqon 2022 the set was absolute perfection from audio and visuals amd everything in between
the pyro fireworks is every year on all days....also at other hardcore/style festivals..huge stages (multi stages at 1 festival) all have pyro fireworks....Decibel, Intens, Wish, and many more...ow, watch out with the beer...it's a strong Belgium one, can hit you in the head (day after)..
That stage is 150meters wide and 45meters high
Should definitely check out the aftermovie for it!🔥🔥

Its started at NAC Breda where the lads started to go left and right on Snollebollekes then othes clubs started it and copy it even the Dutch womenfootballteam wh became champion and a year later Defqon 1 started it at the festivals ;p
Please react to Sickmode & Rooler present The Gang at Rebirth 2022. That set is freaking nuts. The crowd, the energy, the atmosphere and the music. Everything is perfect.
The sound is loud, very where you stand! The big pillars in the crowd are full of speakers, you can stand at the back and still feel it in your chest.
to answer the stage question they have a totaly different Mainstage every year
we need a reaction of Defqon 1 2024 Legends
Also very. nice the Defqon POWER Hours, very very weird things happening :) :)
stage is different every year and it has +- 10 different stages during those days
Defqon.1 🔛🔝🔥

MAXIM !!!
the stages are completely different each year ... this is the main stage of like 10 other staged but the this is the main stage the red stage as they call it you got indoor stages and outdoor stages the endshows and the closing rituals are the best when it comes to pyro and light shows... during day time power hour is the best
People discovering the best festival in the world
Do Sefa Defqon 2022 ! The best live act !
J'irai un jour .............
I was there on a friday tho but it was great
Anything crazier ? dimitri vegas and like mike live at tommorwland 2024.
2024 was mid. 2022 Saturday ending is the best imo.
Defqon.1 is the name of the party. And no the stage always looks different. Don't even look close to the same
Time for you to watch the after movie a recap of the 4 days that qdance just released
every festival in europe outdoes anything they try to do in US, Defcon, TomorrowLand, Masters of Hardcore, qBase, Qlimax. Cochella and Ultra got nothing on these festivals.
Is it legal to be this early?
Coachella is nothing 😂

Strong beer 8.7 percent.

Is there anything crazier than this? Yes there is, Tomorrowland festival in Belgium.
I wouldn't call it crazier, but its definitely bigger! Different music though

Kippenvel gewoon
plastic cups would have made more sense..
first time i have seen people drinking beer from a fancy beer glas while watching a rave 🤣 wtf 🤐
these endshows are a bit lame
its all about using alot of fireworks and a bit of lasers in 20 min
the concerts with those effects often work better, and make more sense..
powerhour for example is alot more fun then the endshows, and it have no lasers and firework..
but it have a theme through the show
it feels like the people that does this show is kind of just using what they had left from the festival
i have seen a jarre concert with 5 tons of fireworks, this is kind of waste compared
you should react to dr peacock in concert, he knows how to put on a defqon show
Tomorrowland
