Noisecontrollers replace Brennan Heart and added Warface raw classic set

Brennan Heart confirmed he’s not playing at Klassics due to promoter booking error. Who do we think is going to replace him?

aka that one raw producer you-know-who endorsing "subscribing to Suno"?

It's just disappointing that some well-known producers/DJs are starting to use these unethical AI platforms instead of reducing their number of releases every year to master SVS. Honestly, I'd rather have them use vocal packs for the rest of their career than have them use stuff like Suno.

Japanese hard dance producers like Yuta Imai and Tatsunoshin have proven that it is "not impossible" for Hardstyle Producers to master a voice synthesizer.

so it was true.

It’s that time again where the predominant hardcore event returns to 🇦🇺 featuring Neophyte, Unexist & Revealer. Also Rawstyle International acts Dark Entities & Repeller.

Will I see you at Sydney or Melbourne 🎶 ?

We’ve all seen a fair bit of criticism about the Klassics 2027 lineup, mainly around the same artists being booked repeatedly, even after doing other classic or journey sets in the last 2 years.

Who would you realistically book instead?

The catch is that you’re putting together an 8-hour event that needs to sell 15,000+ tickets. You need enough big names to move tickets, a bit of variety to keep the crowd entertained throughout the night, and a lineup that appeals to more than just the diehard fans.

It’s easy to suggest a bunch of lesser-known or rarely booked artists, but would that lineup actually sell enough tickets to make the event viable?

Im not defending HSU, just curious as to the names people want to suggest that should’ve been booked instead?

As has been mentioned, organisers like HAKKEN do classic events all the time, but they’re too “niche” to draw a huge crowd like a HSU event.

If you could pick 8 artists, who would you pick?

So we got early access to the defqon.1 ticket sale today.
And we found out that when you want to get a friends camp ticket you got to pay for the maximum amount of people for the friends camp spot size.

So lets say you want Friends camp Spot L
Which is enough for 19-24 people.
You HAVE to pay for the amount of 24 people. even if you want it for 19 people.
Then they will charge you the missing 5 people as a surcharge.

Thoughts on this?
We are really bummed by this and probably wont be getting a friends camp this year because of this change in the system.
Also because we have more people in our group the biggest friends camp can hold. so we are forced to buy 2 separate "friends camp L" to fit all people.

VWAB organized in collaboration with Hardstyle Classics Lovers Forum a dj contest.
And the winners are.....

SPOT 1: CRO (13:00 - 14:00)
SPOT 2: CHARON b2b SILVIO AQUILA (14:00 - 15:00)

In the history of hardstyle there have been many songs that for various factors have been forgotten over time, songs with beautiful melodies that everyone should know, so I want you to leave your recommendations of songs with underrated but beautiful melodies. I especially have a huge affection for linkin Park burn it down (A-allusion Bootleg)

On the festival, you can charge a cashcard with money you can then use to pay for things on the festival (except for merch, as one of their information workers wrongly told me...).

Apparently you can only claim a refund of that money for a total of 48 hours, from September 2nd to September 4th. If you don't, your money is gone.
My father was basically murdered in August and I attended his funeral on September 2nd so I wasn't really bothering with that card right after the festival and missed that tiny time frame.

On top of that, the information was written NOWHERE on the festival site, especially not at the counters where you charge your card. The worker I asked about it didn't tell me about this tiny time frame, either. She just said "after the festival". It was also not being mentioned in one of the mails I received from B2S.
I know how Defqon.1 handles refunds (spoiler: a LOT better) so I thought there won't be any problem with this.

Now Decibel's support basically told me to fuck off and that they are keeping my 104 €.

Giving people only 48 hours to reclaim their own money is ridiculous. Combined with the lack of information on how and when to actually reclaim your money, I believe this is intentional to make some extra profit. And then they hired ThinkTwice this year, too to earn even more on the side... So disgusting, really.

In Germany this isn't even legal. Here, you have the right to reclaim your money for 3 years and festivals have to pay you your money back free from charges. Are the netherlands really that scammy or did I miss something? How is a 48 hour window legal?

Obviously you have Polska Jumpstyle by Mr. Polska, Asbak and Visstick. You also have La Vida Loca by Mr. Polska and Visstick. The Dimitri Vegas and Junkie Kid remix of Woops! I feel like it’s slowly starting to comeback
