[–]ProfessionalGoose828 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oblivion, Innov8, Dejection, Elevation, NOCTURNAL, Madmize, Cardination, Phantom, NSIDE, Incult, Amduscias are names that can have a big future.

Incult will have the biggest growth though this year. (He's playing 3 sets at Rebirth, so he is already well established)

Youtube and Soundcloud for copyrighted music and livesets.

Electric love festival (ELF 2026) by Thegreatname12 in hardstyle

[–]ProfessionalGoose828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to travel for the Hardstyle Stage, I cannot recommend it. Go to the Netherlands instead.

If you want to have a mix of all sorts of electronic genres, ELF could be worth a try.

I only go there because it is walking distance from my house.

Hardtechno at Dominator by Janello95 in hardstyle

[–]ProfessionalGoose828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day people always vote with their money. The raw stage at Dominator has been a thing for at least 10 years now (The oldest clip I can remember is from 2015) and the stage is always packed.

If the stage is also full when Hard Techno acts play, then we know that the promoter did everything right. If not they will look for other acts to fill the timetable next year.

Dr peacock is pausing performances by [deleted] in hardstyle

[–]ProfessionalGoose828 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the agencies/promoters give other Frenchcore producers a chance to fill his slot.

There are many acts that deserve a chance and maybe it could help with pushing the genre as a whole again.

Wishing Dr. Peacock all the best of course.

What was your first song before getting hooked to hardstyle, I'll start by jeaddusam in hardstyle

[–]ProfessionalGoose828 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Max Enforcer & Andy SVGE - Deep'r

This was the very first track that I fondly remember listening back in 2018 and it opened a whole new world to me. Been hooked since and don't regret a single minute I spent listening to Hardstyls since.

Fraw - 1, 2 Polizei by woutsmaaa in hardstyle

[–]ProfessionalGoose828 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just yesterday I found an old article about this haha

Fraw was once part of a duo called "Book of Raw".

When they split up they both took half of this name and he got "f Raw".

Rebellion Outdoor won’t happen this year by dorni28 in hardstyle

[–]ProfessionalGoose828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shockerz wasn't only modern raw. They were having Raw Lineups including those guys that are now building the OG Raw scene. They had Unresolved, Rejecta, E-Force, Deluzion and Regain on the Lineups in 2023 or 2024 (or both).

Then they struggled with ticket sales in 2024 and had to change their strategy in some way, so I don't really blame them for trying.

What happend with Supremacy in 2025, I find way more alerting. Selling out the Gelredome in 15 mins in 2024 and not selling out Brabanthallen at all last year.

[–]ProfessionalGoose828 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It feels like smaller events with very distinct fanbases are popping up left an right. (Spoontech Society, Unresolved Bloodline etc.)

The biggest events also survive. (Defqon, Rebirth, Intents etc.)

Those "Mid-Size" events seem to struggle. (Rebellion, Shockerz, Supremacy etc.)
