Defqon.1 Festival 2012 Symbolism

[bodycomputer]

Now I like this music and subscribe to their YouTube channel but saw this today and thought I'd post it. Defqon 1 is a festival held yearly in Netherland, they also have an Australian version. These are the biggest festivals for this type of music (Hardstyle)

Now, firstly you'll notice the pyramid stage. The Defqon 1 logo is at the top of the pyramid, then you see a freemason checkerboard, next down the pyramid you see the pictures of the main DJs on the hardstyle scene behind the lights which spell words out to the crowd. Just below this is a skull and crossbones (you'll have to look carefully to see it), below which is obviously the crowd. But that's not all this years festival started on the summer solstice.

Then you have the first track of the main event of the evening which is the endshow which talks about a "New World"

I'm kinda conflicted whether this is just misguided stage design or something more, thoughts?

Had a second look and noticed some more.



Notice the freemason G logo in the middle. Eyes at the sides. The skull at the bottom could be interpreted as the killing off of everyone at the bottom of the pyramid below the line.

The theme for the entire Festival was "World of Madness"
The design of the main stage and many of the others carried this theme.
There was a stage full of conflicting street signs

The main stage was pointing out the obvious in a world of madness.
The design was not misguided and quite the opposite, intentional and obvious.

The skull at the bottom was not representing the killing of people, but just another society the skull and bones.

There were various societies icons in the stage which all together are conflicting I.e world of madness

Hey mehere

Thanks for the extra info about the event.

I do have to say though that it is a bit of weird theme to have for an event which is suppose to be a fun time. That's kind of what I meant with "misguided". I've seen videos of the other Q Dance events over the years and there isn't anything like this one.

Yes I know about the skull and bones society, but I do think the choice of positioning is interesting and the logo does represent other things too.

Another thing to add is the DJ pictures, they have these rings around their heads in a very similar style to how you see religious icons portrayed, and therefore portraying the DJs in a kind of holy way, by bigging up their celebrity status.

The whole stage makes it look like a initiation ceremony of those pictured DJs to a place higher up in the pyramid but personally I can't really see the illuminati being that interested in getting the Hardstyle scene on board.

I would love to go to one of the Q Dance events which are obviously popular in Europe and hardstyle isn't too popular here in the UK. But if I was at that one I'd feel like I was celebrating all these illuminati societies, I'd feel dirty afterwards .

Completely intentional. Anything that as a smattering of "bigness" or "mainstream" has infiltration/influence of TPTB/illuminutties.
Since I started becoming increasingly aware of these things in the past few years, there is NEVER a movie/TV show (I watch online, not regular TV w/ads but still PROGRAMMING) without some symbolism, somewhere. Some is more obvious than others. Start keeping your eyes open for it, I guarantee you will always see something (ie: pyramids, black/white checks, single eyes, red carpets, ect).

I think people read too much into things.

Its a rock concert. "Rock" not "Pop"

What would you expect the stage and design to be like ?

Maybe Megadeth playing on a stage shaped and designed like a "My Little Pony", Pretty flowers, Quaint tranquil scenes ?

Its just part of the show, thats how it is.
