Friday | The Opening Ceremony, RED Race & The Spotlight
The gates of the mighty RED will officially open with The Opening Ceremony. Booking the Lunch Buffet will grant you access to the Exclusive RED Experience Deck at 12:00, so when the gates open you will have the best spot to witness the RED this year.
During The Opening Ceremony, a major act within the harder styles will kick off the first festival day in style. This Defqon.1 spectacle unfolds through a symphonic show and live experience, marking the first moment to witness this year's stage design.
After last year's success, the RED Race winner returns on Friday. In the upcoming months, 4 upcoming acts will engage in a battle of talent with the goal of performing at the RED. Witness the birth of a new hardstyle icon, unleashed through a music-driven show experience, presented as the RED Race.
At the end of the day, it's time to experience the magnitude of The Spotlight. This endshow experience combines the unique sounds of an artist with an abundance of lights, lasers, and the best pyrotechnics our scene has to offer. The Spotlight lasts over 30 minutes and rivals the scale of both The Endshow on Saturday and The Closing Ritual on Sunday.
Saturday | WARRIOR WORKOUT, POWER HOUR & The Endshow
Book your exclusive RED experience for the day that started it all. Strength, endurance, and muscle-flexing madness await you with the Warrior Workout. On Saturday at 12:00, we dive straight into maximum power with the world’s biggest hardstyle workout. A unique Defqon.1 show experience where all Warriors unite to aim for the top during power-packed exercises and high-energy music.
When the clock strikes 4, it's time to unleash the essence of madness during the 60 craziest minutes of your life with POWER HOUR! Since 2014, we've pulled out all the stops with massive stunts, tons of confetti, countless acts, artists, inflatables, and, of course, the world-famous LEFT-RIGHT moment, together with 65.000 Warriors.
We close this day with the biggest show spectacle within the harder styles: The Endshow. This global festival phenomenon pushes boundaries every year with record-breaking amounts of pyro, brand-new hardstyle tracks, innovative show techniques, and special acts. Having the best seat in the house is definitely recommended, and we've got you covered at the RED Experience deck.
Sunday | The Closing Ceremony & Closing Ritual
The official closing of Defqon.1, and undoubtedly the most emotional moment of the weekend. This is the moment when Warriors gather one last time during The Closing Ceremony. Every year, boundaries are broken with a legendary ensemble of artists that will perform during these final 5 hours of the weekend. And of course, we'll close the weekend in style with The Closing Ritual, the awe-inspiring endshow experience on Sunday.
Be aware that The Closing Ceremony starts at 18:00 CEST.
