DJ-Convention:We were last year the first Time at Defqon and this year we will check the Decibel Experience
What are the Differences between Defqon and Decibel Camping?
Defqon.1 camping is huge, very open landscape, no trees on campsite. Decibel camping is much smaller and has many trees, feels more like a real camping.
How far are the ways between Parking and Camping Area? (At Defqon it was really far)
Well... Decibel lets you walk an extra kilometer
How far are the ways between Camping and Festival Area?
This is a trick question? Decibel has two festival areas, one at the campsite which is used on Friday and Sunday. The main festival area is only used on Saturday and yes Decibel lets you walk a little further.
At Defqon last year, we arrived at 5pm in Biddinghuizen and we lost so much time in the waiting line for parking. Which Time is best for arriving at Decibel (incl Way from Parking to Camping and Build up our Tents etc) to be at 7pm on the Festival for Kick off Start?
Mmm... I always buy VIP/Premium tickets for Decibel, I don't want to wait in that line too long. Last year was pretty bad. Also the security guards where badly instructed and confiscated stuff that was actually allowed by Q-dance like deoderant aerosols and gas cartridges. Of course you could buy those at the camping store so I didn't smell too bad that weekend.
How fast were the Weekend Tickets Sold out in the past?
They don't sell out as fast as Defqon.1 but if you don't want to take changes buy a ticket as soon as you have the opportunity. I think last year it was about 1 month before the start it was sold out.
And which are the other important Differences, i Forget to ask?
Thanks for Response
Overal I would say Defqon.1 is more like a whole weekend music experience, Q-dance has done everything to make it like this. Now there are more people attending the whole weekend than there are people with day tickets. Decibel has 'only' got about 10k people for the weekend and a total of 65k visitors on the Saturday. So at the end of the Saturday most people go home while the people at the campingsite go to the after party. The party area at the campsite has one major area/tent and two smaller areas (really small) but the atmosphere is very good. In Dutch we would say very 'gezellig'. I like both festivals a lot, overal I would say Defqon.1 has better organisation and better value for money.
