Questions from first time attendees
Servus! My wife and I will attend our first defqon.1 in 2026 (our first festival in general) and because we are German we have to be prepared! These are more specific questions that seemingly never get asked!
!! this will be a long one !!
Jokes aside, we have a pyramid tent on the highlands, priority parking and we are obviously going to attend all 4 days. So here are our questions - :)
-at what time should we arrive to have a chill start? The gathering On Thursday is at 6 pm.
-how far do we have to walk, even just in general. From the blue to the highlands or the red or what have you. What can we expect?
-is it fine that we are "unfit" and a little heavy set? We always see the fittest people (I get it, most people listen to it during their workouts)
-how much money should we expect to pay for foods and drinks on the festival itself
-what happens when the show is over? Do you have to run back to the tents? Will you get kicked out of the festival site by security? How long can you linger after 11 pm (I think it said that the festival closes) and how do you get to the shows at night? Is there a seperat entrance?
-what is the sound like? It differs from stage to stage i know but what is it like with earplugs? We both have the alpine tune ones. Does it sound bad? Does it sound like you are wearing headphones? Is it still enjoyable?
-lastly... We both have social anxiety 😅 we loosely started following defqon in 2011, I still remember hearing unite for the first time and seeing people having fun infront of that giant throne. We were scared from the beginning because we aren't extremely attractive or outgoing, will that be a problem? I like to think that we are nice people, just not that extroverted.
Thanks in advance. I love this community with all of its ups and downs. We've been dwelling in the silent live streams and chats. Now we finally decided to just do it and meet the people in those gorgeous videos irl!
For any further questions I guess message me :)
