Elektrum Festival is back for round four, and it’s turning up the dial once again. Born from the minds of two harder style heavyweights, Intents Festival and WiSH Outdoor, it’s become one of the Netherlands’ most unmissable harder style gatherings. This year’s edition, Enter the Light, takes center stage, a day-to-night surge of energy, bass, and memories waiting to be made.
Here’s why you can’t miss Elektrum Festival this year:
1. One-of-a-kind live B2Bs
Elektrum isn’t just throwing artists onstage together – these B2Bs are built from scratch. Each one is a custom 45-minute live set, stacked with pyro, fresh visuals made just for that performance, and SFX that tear through the noise. It’s all about combinations you won’t catch anywhere else: think Radical Redemption b2b Kruelty, a wild clash of generations that somehow clicks perfectly. And that’s just the start – expect more exclusive pairings like D-Sturb b2b Deezl or Warface b2b Unresolved lighting up the woods. Elektrum lives on unpredictability, and these sets are where it explodes.
2. Four stages, one hardstyle paradise
Elektrum goes all-in with four dedicated stages covering every corner of hardstyle. The main stage brings hardstyle and raw power, while the uptempo stage keeps things fast and furious. Fans of the extreme get their fix at the extra raw stage, and this year, the hardstyle classics area is bigger than ever. Whether you’re chasing fresh kicks or nostalgic anthems, there’s a stage with your name written on it. Elektrum brings the best of both worlds, rising talent sharing the stage with the biggest names in the game.
3. From golden hour to laser hour
Elektrum isn’t about recycling the same look; it’s about evolving its world year after year. The first two editions built a futuristic city deep in the woods. Last year, that vision shifted into the Gateway of Light. Now, the story continues with Enter the Light – inspired by October’s perfect split of six hours of daylight and six hours of moonlight.
By day, the stages glow under the autumn sun, bold and vibrant as the beats roll out across the fields. Then, as the sky fades, Elektrum flips the switch. Lasers cut through the trees, stages blaze with radiant colour. Bright and euphoric by day, fierce and electric by night, Elektrum is unlike any other hardstyle festival. It’s a theme you don’t just see – you feel it.
4. A visual trip like no other
Imagine going through the tree-lined pathways lit up with lasers that make even a simple walk feel like part of the show. ELEKTRUM transforms the woods into a kaleidoscope of colour and light! Sure, the beats are non-stop, but the festival packs plenty of extras too: art installations and chill zones where you can catch your breath before diving back into the magic.
5. A story born in the woods
The festival takes place in Boxtel, deep in the woods, where the organisers have built a hidden city among the trees. It gives ELEKTRUM its own raw identity – wild, secretive, and different from anything else out there. Autumn leaves might carpet the dancefloor, but at ELEKTRUM, the energy burns brighter than ever. Part of the festival is still outdoors, which makes it one of the last chances to rave under open skies before winter sets in, the ultimate closing of the festival season!
6. Fans make the festival
At ELEKTRUM, the crowd isn’t just part of the vibe, they are the vibe. Hardstyle purists, uptempo fanatics, raw heads: everyone comes together for one last massive dance to bid adieu to festival season. It’s an atmosphere of pure energy and connection that you’ll be buzzing from long after the final drop.
