Defqon.1 introduced the Encore concept this year: one artist, the entire BLUE Stage, Friday night, extended set, no opener needed. Rebelion got it. That’s Q-dance acknowledging what anyone who’s been watching the last few years already knew — these two have been putting out music that demands a bigger canvas. Here’s the 2025-2026 version of that argument.
1. Rebelion & Warface - Filthy Rave
April 2026, Rebelion teams up with Warface and goes full industrial-edged chaos. “Filthy Rave” is accurate. This is the harder, uglier side of what Rebelion does — the version that makes sense when you give someone a stage for four hours and tell them to figure it out.
2. Rebelion - Beyond the Horizon
November 2025 solo release that shows the other side of what they do. Still 190 BPM, less destruction, more atmosphere — the kind of track that builds to something rather than just arriving pre-built. The range that makes a four-hour set actually work.
Friday night in Almere. Set your tent up first.
