![]() ![]() Q-dance either intentionally over sold and just didn’t care when it came to the venue. And the majority of the staff were very nice. The look and feel of the venue and stages were incredible. To start the DJ’s were amazing! I definitely want to get that out there. been there, done that, don't want another Tshirt!ĭefqon 2023. What are people meant to do if they cant afford that at the end of a very expensive night? This happened on all 3 nights and so we ended up spending 150EURO on taxis on top of our travel, camping, tickets and expenses! So for me. This is absolutely disgusting and an total CON at the end of a good night. They told us the only way we could leave was to get a taxi at the rank and ALL taxi drivers charge a minimum of 50EURO to leave the car park. We tried to explain our pathway and where we were staying but they seemed to get more aggressive and physical. As we tried to take the walk, once again we were met by aggressive staff refusing our entry to this side path. ![]() We had walked the short distance to get there and it was completely safe and off road. We didn't let this stop us having a boss night as tickets for the full weekend were expensive and we had driven all the way from the UK to be there! However, at the end of the first night we made the short walk back to the exit, where there was a path to the left that led us back to the campsite we were staying on. My partner was 'warned' and 'allowed' back to the festival. On one experience we were looking for the Gold tent and my partner tapped a security guy on the shoulder to ask him directions and he turned around in an instant, put him in a chokehold and as my partner struggled, more security came out and carted him off behind a restricted access fence to 'talk to him.' I was horrified and more than anxious about what happened. I was absolutely shocked at how antagonistic and aggressive some of the security staff were. Unfortunately, the staff at the festival were not included in these people. I met some brilliant people there and was lucky not to see any trouble. The atmosphere was electric and people everywhere were happy dancing and enjoying the experience. On the Saturday and Sunday night, there was an amazing firework display, perfectly timed to a robotic moving stage and of course some pure Defqon hardstyle tunes. Fantastic special effects, animatronics and theatrics, especially on the main stage. This was an experience!!! Hardstyle morning noon and night and definitely not for the feint hearted. And again huge props to all the DJ’s as it was an incredible experience I won’t forget! I honestly love hardstyle and this venue. I don’t want to slam Q-dance…I honestly want to make this into the best venue possible either by preparing people or by giving notice to Q-dance on things they could change in the future. If you have advice and went please add to the reviews. At the end they said it was 120 euro…it’s not! We paid 60 euro after the driver confessed. Also the taxi back to the train…they don’t give you a price or run their meter. Make sure to bring chairs and something to make shade with as there aren’t many places to sit out of the sun. They don’t check or care about the 9 liter policy. There is no limit on water that you can bring in. If you are planning on going let me give you some advice. Overall I think Q-dance was unorganized and not prepared for Defqon 1 this year…or they just don’t care. Some of these people had issues due to lack of hydration due to lack of water stands. People tried to help well paramedics either took forever to show up or never arrived. During some of the sets we noticed people laying on the floor unconscious. This was after I asked the information tent and was told otherwise. We also stood in the entrance line for 2.5 hours only to find out there was a fast line for people camping at highlands. And insanely long lines for the showers which there weren’t enough of. There were huge lines for the toilets when they were working. There were definitely not enough water stands and long lines. ![]()
