Vroeger Was Alles Beter Indoor (‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands) 2026

Vroeger Was Alles Beter returns to the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch on Saturday 24 October 2026, running from 12:30 to midnight as what the organisers call the largest hardstyle classics gathering anywhere. The premise is the name, which translates as everything used to be better: a full day given over to the hardstyle records of the 2000s and early 2010s, played by the producers who made them.

The bill is built around concepts rather than straight sets. Adrenalize goes against Code Black, Audiotricz bring Jones on Euphoric Rewind, Brennan Heart pairs with Ran-D, Coone plays alongside DJ Isaac on Feels So Good, E-Force and Luna run The Masterclass, Frontliner joins The Prophet for The Get Back 2 Back, Noisecontrollers bring E=NC2, Wildstylez plays Back 2 Basics and Zatox brings My Life. Atmozfears, B-Front and Josh and Wesz complete the line up.

Entry is 18 and over and tickets are sold through the festival’s own shop, with the organisers reporting several thousand sold well before the date. The Brabanthallen is the city’s exhibition complex, 15 minutes’ walk from ‘s-Hertogenbosch station, which has direct trains from Utrecht in half an hour and Eindhoven in 20 minutes. For hardstyle classics, it is the Dutch music festival that defined the format.
