Hardstyle DNA showcases Scandinavian talents with new two-day festival: Hardkokt

By Wouter de Vink 25 August 2023

Hardstyle DNA – known for the largest harder styles festival in Scandinavia – is about to start a new two-day happening. This weekend, the Norwegian organization goes back to basics with Hardkokt: with a large mainstage as a stepping stone for local talents at a brand-new location.

The scene in Scandinavia continues to grow, but for emerging artists there it is sometimes difficult to break through. Hardstyle DNA is therefore coming up with a new festival called Hardkokt, where it gives the talents (and themselves) a chance to develop further and it wants to be able to take even bigger steps before the big outdoor edition in April. “Two days of Scandinavian Hardstyle in the beautiful Nesparken.”

In a beautiful location half an hour from the capital Oslo, Hardkokt is Scandinavian through and through. The full line-up consists of 27 of hardstyle’s biggest promises, such as Serzo, D-Charged, SVANE and anthem makers Double Phunq. Also, every day ends with a unique final show, there is a hardstyle festival camping for the first time and there is another big Scandinavian surprise yet to come…
