This week, an online petition appeared alongside a TikTok account, both under the name: “When Will Vertile Release?” Within the hardstyle community, there’s been ongoing speculation about Vertile’s anticipated album. Inquiry with Vertile’s team reveals that they were unaware of the initiative and just as surprised by it.

“Let’s make Vertile release his music”
The petition website lists eleven tracks that Vertile has premiered at festivals over the past few years, but which have yet to be officially released. The presentation is striking: for each track, the exact time that has passed since its premiere is displayed, down to the day, hour, minute, and second.
At the bottom of the page, visitors are encouraged to sign the petition. The message is short and punchy: “Let’s make Vertile release his music & sign the petition!” The tone is light-hearted, but the message is serious: these tracks already live in the collective memory of fans, and it’s high time they’re officially released.
The track that was premiered the longest ago is ‘Eyes Open’, first played at Reverze 2021, roughly 1,135 days ago. The list also includes newer tracks recently premiered at REBiRTH, including collabs with Dual Damage, Ran-D, and Rebelion.

When Will Vertile Release?
In addition to the fan-driven petition, Vertile himself seems to be fueling the fire. Earlier this year, he shared a series of cryptic dates via Instagram Stories: March 27, April 2, April 11, April 24, May 22, and May 27. The first three coincide with concrete events — his Defqon.1 anthem release, a merch drop, and his Final Dimension set at REBiRTH.
The remaining dates remain unexplained for now but have sparked heavy speculation among fans. Some believe May 22 could be the announcement of an album, and that May 27 might mark the official release. The message is clear: fans are ready. Now it’s up to Vertile.
