Watch Behind Defqon.1 | Up Close with D-Sturb now on YouTube

We followed D-Sturb in the lead-up to Defqon.1 2026. With the anthem to his name and defining moments on the Holy Grounds ahead of him, everything was leading towards this one weekend. A weekend that started with a legendary set on Thursday, only to end far sooner than anyone expected.

Together with the people closest to him, we dive deeper into the story behind D-Sturb and the journey that shaped him into one of the leading names in hardstyle.

​The silence ends as a new Defqon.1 chapter begins. On October 1st, we return to where it all starts: Defqon.1 The Kick-off 2027. Together with Audiofreq, E-Life and Stephanie Magic, we'll open the gates to a new year of Defqon.1 and reveal what awaits us on the road back to the Holy Grounds.
