[19/08/2017] Decibel Outdoor Festival + Weekend [NL]

[Neko]

They always push their stereos to the limit late the day so I was very happy to have soem good earplugs, my ears would be seriously harmed without.
Spent almost all the time at the extreme loudness, and my god some sets were out of this world. Really enjoyed Sub Sonik live & Deetox, Rebelion was just off the hook but nothing compares to the delete set. That moment when he dropped Zimmersion 2.0.. I felt like the whole front row had to shed a tear. So immense.
Was haviong a blast at B-Fronts set at the loudness aswell, I havent heard those old b-front tracks for a while, it was magic.
I just really don't like how the main is always so damn crowded for the endshow, defqon is nothing different there aswell. They close down other stages earlier dont they? So everyone just wants to visit the main at the end...
Brilliant edition once again. See you next year for sure.

Holyshit, the sound system during the preparty was just insane

Endshow

I just wanna leave this here:
Is it just me or do DJ's seem to prepare much more stuff/tools/unique sets for Defqon? After Defqon there are like 3 pages of unreleased stuff and for Decibel not even half a page. I know that's mainly because of the radio hosting of DQ, but still. Also the social media hype is much bigger when DQ is coming compared to Decibel. But still those festivals are vistited by roughly the same amount of people.

And what about the shows... the basic DJ sets...

I just wanted to leave this here.

With it being the flagship event, the DQ hype builds more hype like a snowbal so the DJs probably feel obliged to do more in preparation

[NICK9656]

Defqon is the Tomorrowland of the hardstyle scene. Decibel is not that hyped and gets that much attention, so yeah... that could be the reason.

This year at least, the majority of artists were given their own 'Artist Missions' some were to create bootlegs, remixes and more. This is why at least for this past edition there were a lot of new/remixed/DQ Edits

Also DQ is the start of the Summer Season, while DB is at the end of it.
DJs have plenty more time preparing for DQ unlike the rest of festival season events

This. I was about to say that, for me this is the main reason.

DQ is the first major summer festival, so DJs are hyped as fuck. And they have indeed more time to prepare for it while when the summer start they have gigs every week-end all around the world, so not much time in the studio.
