Defqon.1 Weekend Festival 2018 - Backbone International

About Defqon.1 Weekend Festival 2018

In June, it was time for Defqon.1 Weekend Festival 2018. Defqon.1 is an annual music festival held in Biddinghuizen, the Netherlands. Founded in 2003 by client Q-dance, the festival is focused on the harder edge of dance music, inviting DJs to bombard the crowd with beats from 14 stages. Taking place on the same terrain that hosts the famous Lowlands Festival later in summer, Defqon.1 also offers a fantastic camping experience for electronic music fans.
