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. This is Behind Defqon.1 | Up Close with D-Sturb.
⚔️ See you all at Defqon.1 2027 on June 24, 25, 26 & 27. The ticket sale starts on October 31st at 13:00 CEST.
🎥 Watch Defqon.1 The Kick-off on October 1st at 20:00 CEST

What an overwhelming journey, with everyone ultimately envisioning a different ending. Despite that, I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve accomplished and so grateful for the amazing community surrounding our music 🧡🧡
The best anthem without a doubt
Я там был
Первый раз в жизни
Спустя 11 лет после знакомства на YT
Но все обернулось так, как показали в конце.
Начиная с 20 минуты видео у меня слезы текли
Я верю, что еще вернусь, и даже раньше, чем через очередные 11 лет
Навсегда в сердце Defqon.1 ❤
i feel very sorry for sturb- must have felt like a hard betrayal. still you owned your place. you got it mate
Tearss watching this
There couldnt be more of a contrast in 1 video. Still unreal that this really happened

Im here in love with this music since 2009 and you know what, since "World of madness" we did not have that Defqon 1 vibe, until we got "Sacred Oath", thank you man, warriors are thankful!
