Can you watch Defqon.1 live?

The 2027 stream has not been announced. Expect it around the festival weekend, June 24 to 27, 2027, most likely with RED on YouTube again.

Defqon.1 usually streams for free. In 2025 the RED stage had a video stream on the Q-dance YouTube channel and the other stages were audio only. The 2026 edition was cancelled during the festival because of a code red heat warning, so there was no live stream that year. Q-dance later posted the closing show, filmed on the empty grounds.

2026Not streamed (cancelled)
The 2026 edition was cancelled during the festival because of extreme heat, so it was not streamed live. The closing show was filmed without an audience and posted afterwards.[1,2]
