[23/06/2017] Defqon.1 Festival - Victory Forever [NL]

Anyone else experienced hell on earth with the Landal buses on Sunday? Holy fuck Q needs to get their shit together when it comes to the logistics by the busses before next year. Was a true nightmare. Almost the same at friday and the previous years, but 500+ people almost freezing to death and no buses for over one hour +, no queing system, no security guards and just total chaos. Someone needs to be fired tbh, even the artists thought it was messed up, and Q didn't give a shit when i talked with them. Police had to show up eventually.

Yes sunday was really really bad.. In the end we walked to the other side of the road and took a taxi..

friday + saturday were fine for us though.

Also, Hardwell track wtf :') It's pretty Bad imho. Very generic.
I think it's cool that a very famous EDM DJ make so many hardstyle track but so far he really didn't impress me at all ! He's right when he says that Atmozfears is a better producer than him

It's a pretty decent try for a non-hardstyle artist ihmo

Don't forget that hardwell usually plays some hardstyle tracks now in his sets and also when he starts play as a dj

Are you talking about the transfers to your apartments or hotels which was included in the festival travel package?

Yes, especially Landal Waterparc (they had thousands of Q travel visitors). Shittiest logistics iv'e ever witnessed. And Q seem to be a pretty serious company.. damn

We spend like 2,5 hours in the bus 6km before the camping parking on friday. Car accident in a different direction, no police, nothing. Only some idiots ignore red lights and blocking everything.

That sucks to hear. Cause next year we actually wanted to book this kind of package. But waiting for over 2 hours isn't worth it. Guess we were lucky to stay at the Euro Park and go by taxi.

Yeeezas Christ! That was hell of a traffic.
Idiots ignores red lights were nothing compare to taxis an ubers driving wrong way and boody bicycle route. Fuckin morons!
We spend bout 6 hrs to get at the camping from Amsterdam.
And yes, We had a plan to come as early as possible to avoid unpleasantness from last year. BULLOCKS!

We were at Dronten station at 12:00 queing hour and a half until we finally sat in the bus. After hour an a half waiting! Considering; in that at this time only 2 buses arrived. Ridiculous. Worth to say is that the queue was getting bigger and bigger every time the train arrived. Well we were on our way 13:30 and we get to the gates at 15:00 coz this MASSIVE bastard traffic I ever seen in my live was all the way there. I thought if we walk we it will be quicker and I probably wasnt wrong. the check in and security control went surprisingly smoothly tho. we went in 16:00 and I thought to myself: 'good luck to find spot for 12 tents...' then I thought about those people still waiting in this massive queue in Dronten for their bus and felt really sorry.
But at the end of the day, we found nice spot at the camping, for our group (thats probably coz of this bastard traffic - many people was, simply, late) next year will thing about friends camping, Its going to be much more of us...
Well, my 6th edition and my best so far. OMG Saturday Endshow! and Legends Sunday right on the front singin and shouting every single tune was my best experience, oh I loved it so much. Cant wait to hear it/see it again
Overall was a great edition, atmosphere this year was much much nicer than i experienced years before.
Enyoyed every single moment to the max. I couldn't walk till tuesday coz of this hard dancing all-the-time :d all in pain like never before.
Magnificent edition, great weekend!

A cottage at Landal Waterparc is so worth the money! I have been there twice now and it's just so good.
We didn't have any problems with bus transfer two years ago, this year bus was fine beside sunday.

Sunday we waited for the bus like 1 hour but nothing came, sooo many people waiting for it. In the end we took a taxi and were home in 20mins.

Ah man it was terrible. We had return to hotel and our bus arrived last like 90 minutes late. It was pouring rain and I was only in a t shirt. Been ill all week. I also noticed chaos on other buses like you say. Overall disaster. Saturday was busy but bus was ontime. Friday was easy lol
