Brace yourself and get ready for IMPAQT

Nothing like a new party on the agenda. The butterflies, the excitement, because you have no idea what to expect. Q-dance is a master in creating special concepts and experiences. And after the great success of Q-BASE (that latest edition, wow) we are very curious about what will happen next Saturday. Not convinced yet? You better be, because these excuses don’t apply this weekend. “Brace yourself and get ready for IMPAQT.”

“It’s so far”

A festival in Germany, that sounds like a long way for us Dutchies. But Germany is a big country and it’s not that bad. Weeze is 10 minutes across the border and is about 2 hours drive from Amsterdam, The Hague, and Rotterdam. From Arnhem, Eindhoven and ‘s-Hertogenbosch it’s only an hour away. Don’t you have a car or BOB? Book a taxi or arrange a bus trip via Event Travel.

The location alone is certainly worth the ride. The special atmosphere of the old military base at Airport Weeze is one in a million. When do you get the chance to raven in a bunker? There are also no sound restrictions, so the music is even louder than usual. “You shouldn't hear that bass, you should feel it!”

“It is no longer a night festival”

IMPAQT starts at 12.00 hrs (for Titan ticket holders) or 14.00 hrs and lasts until 02.00 hrs. More than 12 hours of partying. The festival may not go on all night, but at about 20.20 hours the sun goes down in Weeze. That means that you can still rave for about 5 hours in the dark. From day into night, just like Q-BASE. And during the day you don’t have to be bored either, because even then the location is magical. Those who have been to Parookaville can confirm that.

“It's not Q-BASE”

After 15 successful editions of Q-BASE, it is time for a new chapter in the Q-dance saga. IMPAQT is a completely new concept and not a Q-BASE 2.0. Parties come and go, and no matter how much we liked Q-BASE, innovation is never bad.

That’s how Q-dance brings the Titan Showcase to life. If you score a Titan ticket, the festival starts at 12.00 hrs for you. Under the direction of Q-dance, you will discover the festival grounds. It’s the ultimate way to get an exclusive sneak-peek in all that IMPAQT has to offer. The Titan Showcase culminates in the premiere of Sefa’s new live act. An opening you won't forget and after that, you can party for more than 12 hours at this day-in-to-night festival full of awesome new experiences.

But of course, there are still a few beloved Q-BASE elements left. IMPAQT is also the Grand Finale of the festival season and the longest-lasting hardstyle festival.

“There’s not enough variety in the music”

IMPAQT - The Festival of Titans represents the leading names in the scene. The festival is made up of 3 territories. Each territory has 2 stages and is dedicated to a music style: hardstyle, raw hardstyle and hardcore/up-tempo. One stage with the biggest names, the other stage more specialized, with the special acts.

The Colossus: harder styles with the biggest acts of today.
The Dome: specials and special acts.
The Octogon: the biggest raw hardstyle acts in the hangar.
The Nest: raw specialists and new names.
The Invader: the biggest names from the hardcore scene on an open-air stage.
The Armoury: more specialized, from uptempo to terror and frenchcore.

IMPAQT 2019 will take place on September 7th, 2019, from 14.00 - 02.00 hrs and for Titan ticket holders from 12.00 - 02.00 hrs. Score your ticket here (note: only Regular tickets are left, Travel & Stay packages and Titan tickets are sold out).
