Hard Bass, one of the most iconic indoor events in hardstyle history, is finally making its comeback. The legendary team concept will be revived during a one-time-only edition featuring the familiar 4 teams, 16 acts, 4 live acts and 3 warm-up sets at the GelreDome.

With the return of Hard Bass, B2S brings back one of the most beloved concepts in its history. The event became famous for its team-based format, spectacular show production and musical journey through every corner of the genre, represented by its iconic colours. In 2019, the event came to an end, but for the 25th anniversary of B2S, the organisation is finally bringing back its legendary flagship event.
Exactly the Hard Bass line-up fans were hoping for
The GelreDome will transform into mission control for MOD:R ALPHA, a story in which the legacy of Hard Bass is revived through a “Journey Through Hardstyle”. In other words: sets where nostalgic classics from the past alternate with the newest tracks of today – and everything in between.
The line-up stays true to the classic Hard Bass formula: 4 teams, 16 acts, 4 live acts and 3 warm-up sets. The General Operatives will kick off the evening, featuring Deepack, Luna and Zany. After that, Team Blue, Team Green, Team Yellow and Team Red will guide the audience through the full spectrum of hardstyle, with a packed DJ booth showcasing some of the biggest names in the scene performing for tens of thousands of fans.
Team Blue consists of Coone, Noisecontrollers, Wildstylez and Brennan Heart LIVE. Team Green features Atmozfears, Frontliner, Phuture Noize and B-Freqz LIVE. Team Yellow brings D-Block & S-te-Fan, Rebelion, Sub Zero Project and Gunz For Hire LIVE. Team Red will close the night with E-Force, Rejecta, Warface and Minus Militia LIVE. The evening will of course be hosted by MC DV8. This line-up is exactly what you would want from a returning edition of Hard Bass.
Journey Through Hardstyle in the ultimate home of the harder styles: the GelreDome
The one-off edition of Hard Bass – Journey Through Hardstyle will take place on Saturday the 10th of October 2026 at the GelreDome. Regular tickets and VIP tickets (including lockers and a separate entrance) are available through the official event website. After years of silence, Hard Bass is finally back. “A mission to recover the legacy of Hard Bass.”
