What is the legendary Bracelet?

The Legendary Bracelet is provided to everyone in possession of a Defqon.1 Ticket. It serves as an entrance ticket and as a payment method during the event, and you are able to transfer money via the Defqon.1 app or on-site at the self-service station or at one of the top-up desks with staff. Premium ticket holders can use the bracelet to enter the Premium Decks.

Who will receive a Legendary Bracelet?

Everyone in possession of a Defqon.1 Ticket will receive the Legendary Bracelet, both day visitors and weekend visitors. Only the main booker will receive all bracelets. Be aware of the fact the main booker is responsible for distributing the bracelets to their fellow Warriors.

Can I already wear my Bracelet?

We recommend not to wear the bracelet before Defqon.1. We understand you might be excited to put it on, but wearing it too early can increase the risk of damaging the RFID chip. To avoid any issues, keep it safe and dry until the event begins.

Do I still need to bring a ticket if I have a bracelet?

Your activated bracelet is your entrance. It’s all you need to enter Defqon.1. However, make sure you still have access to your valid e-ticket, as it may be required in case of any issues with your bracelet.

What do I need to enter Defqon.1?

You will need the following:

  • An activated bracelet
  • A valid ID or passport.

Your bracelet must be scanned upon entry.

What happens to my bracelet after the event?

You can keep your bracelet as a souvenir of your Defqon.1 journey.
