ENTER THE BIGGEST TALENT SHOW IN THE HARDER STYLES

Is your dream to grace the world's biggest stages one day, and are you bursting with musical talent? Embark on a journey that could change your life forever as Defqon.1 presents: the RED RACE.

What is the RED RACE?
The biggest talent show in the harder styles is all about guiding new talent and leveling up their skills. With personal coaching from top artists in our scene, we will guide you towards the mighty mainstage of Defqon.1 2025. The best four entries will be selected to compete in a race to the RED, where all your skills will be put to the test. From producing to performing and building your brand as an artist, this will be the total package.

Your entire journey will be showcased to the world on the Defqon.1 online channels. Most importantly, the winner of the RED RACE will claim a primetime spot on our mighty mainstage next year on Friday.

Do you need to be an experienced artist to enter the RED Race? The answer is no. We do require full commitment and some advanced skills, which we can help you develop if you are one of the selected participants.
