I went to sleep sometime after Wildstylez played, I knew his set would be typical.

Thats cause you didnt feel the VIBE or dance your ass off to the best american hardstyle area to date. It was exposed to 60% of people entering the venue as well as by the cool lounge and various vendors. america has been shown what else is out there!! Every DJ was awesome. Disappointed Technoboy didnt get his USA debut so that was total letdown. Frontliner had an imperfection in his mix wasnt too bad but we are very sensitive on that subject and you could tell in crowd that kinda died some. Some aritsts played way too much singalong breakdown where they lip sync each song. If we want to hear real musicians sing we go to a rock concert which is still very popular here. Crowd reaction was mixed, when they cut the channel for a crowd to sing a long it was a bit quiet. Noisecontrollers, isaac, headhunterz,brennan heart, zany,zatox,wildstylez & coon. had perfect clean mixing and great stage presence. The crowd reacted really well to them. Also they had s-factor on AFTER d-block & s-te-fan which IMO should of been reversed. Db & stf were okay. Only caught the end of Lady Faith and she is great.. Def leading the way for american hardstyle. Raw kicks & strong melodies got great reaction. Whenever the reverse bass hit people went nuts!! Q-dance is coming back againt next year. We like to RAVE

Last night totally made up for Saturday's mess

All of the DJs killed it, and you could tell that they were really enjoying themselves and were stoked that people recognized the tracks (even the newer ones). Best thing to see was the crowd going crazy on EVERY FUCKING SONG. I laughed every time i walked by the mainstage and saw the typical mass of shirtless bros standing around and not dancing. Literally no one was moving at that stage. The contrast was hilarious. Also, got to meet Zatox and spoke with him briefly after his set, what a nice guy!

Parking/Traffic/Security was ridiculously slow and frustrating for all 3 days. They were clearly unprepared for the massive crowds that showed up (which imo is completely unacceptable when you send out press releases that 300,000 people are expected to attend). But overall, what a great experience! I'll be back next year, and judging by the reaction at the stage, I'd say qdance will be too

I don't see it that well, but it does look like a Dutch crowd with so many people walking and so few people dancing

The back of the crowd was a path for people to move between areas. Cant really see the front but hands were flying in the air the whole time. Also like I said, mixed reaction on these singalong tracks. Crowd energy would die a bit during them. Ran-d played friday which didnt have quite the energy as saturday or sunday with all the heavyweights. There were 115,000 people at this event on Sunday and id put hs stage numbers at about 3-5,000. Hopefully it will continue to grow. I'll try to get some other vidoes of the best acts

[Stardoll]

I had fun. It was an honor to play on this stage as Darksiderz and hope to be back next year.
