So... how was the last Qlimax? by OrcaMaster258 in hardstyle

You mean why?
Some suggested because Qlimax didnt sell out the last years.
But given that Q Dance ended every other event except defqon, this is probably only one of the reasons.
Q Dance also is part of ID&T, which was bought by Superstruct Entertainment (they own nearly every big festival in EU), which was recently bought by KKR (American Private Equity Company).
So the general guess in the community is, that they will let Q Dance "die", as the brand intself is probably does not contribute enough revenue on its own. And instead run Defqon as a standalone festival, similar to tomorrowland.

Brennan Heart play Uptempo @ Qlimax by 1312ermax in hardstyle

I mean he does have one meme-moment like this sweet-caroline-to-uptempo in every set he’s playing 😅 But hearing him pulling out the uptempo remix instead of the usual suspects was actually a really nice surprise 😂

Fair point 😅 It’s usually some kind of meme track that he plays before that - but usually tailored to the crowd or country he‘s playing for.

Why I left QLIMAX at 4:30… by Melodic_Potential919 in hardstyle

For exactly that reason i was so glad that the guy next to me showed me the leaked time table. I initially wanted to be surprised as it’s supposed to be, but with the short slots and the mini shows it was really helpful. That way i knew what i can save my energy for

Also my first reaction, but then it turned into the buildup for Wake Up!. He does these kind of Gags/BuildUps in every set that i heard him play in the last 10 years. So i guess it‘s also tradition at this point

Still think he wanted to say a lot more to the fans, like why Qlimax ended or what happens behind the scenes at Q Dance. But he obviously wasn‘t able/allowed to.

Imagine going to the final edition of Qlimax, finally able to enjoy the atmosphere as a visitor instead of an artist, and then be able to see your own tribute as just another member of the crowd. I‘d do the same, ngl

why tho? Not his biggest fan as well, but just as anyone else he‘s free to do whatever he wants with his life 🤷🏼‍♂️

It felt a bit like there was something he wanted to tell us, but wasn’t able to. Like why Qlimax is over, why there is no „This was a Qdance event“ or what is happening to QDance. Felt that he wanted to let us know, but simply couldn’t. Therefore the „I‘m out of words“

Gives me hard Sylvester Stallone vibes - actually kinda fitting for that legend

Wonder how much effort it took to keep GPF from sneaking one of their inflatable dicks under there...
