EDITORIAL > DLDK AMSTERDAM 2023: LATEST EDITION PROVES TO BE EXPLOSIVE & UNFORGETTABLE [EVENT REVIEW]

4 March kicked off what is no doubt going to become the biggest year
for DLDK and E&A Events yet, and the proof was all at the Ziggo Dome
on that Saturday evening. Not doing anything by half measures, they
kicked off the night with some electrifying Future Rave in the form of
one of the genre’s brightest stars, Justus. With the atmosphere already
reaching stratospheric levels, it was hard to believe that the night had
only just begun, with hours upon hours of unforgettable memories to
be made. Following Justus, feel-good duo Third Party and chart-topper
Topic both set the bar for the acts to follow them in spectacular fashion.

One of the first headlining names of the night and certainly no stranger
to the DLDK roster was Nicky Romero. Crafting a set filled with the hits
that have made him a household name over the past years that fans
expect to hear, he also surprised with a dynamic set with hit after
hit. Following this, the excitement levels just carried on rising in rapid
succession as progressive legend Alesso branded the stage with his
ever-shifting soundscape of golden era EDM anthems and darker, club-
ready basslines.

As we got further into the late night, it was awe-inspiring to see that the
energy had not once shifted, with the packed out crowd getting even
more riled up if anything. As Alesso finished his unforgettable set, the
mood changed tone to the darker side of electronic, with Future Rave
star MORTEN curating one of his world class, sizzling sets especially for
DLDK. With fun-loving duo W&W not once dropping the ball following
MORTEN’s set, it was up to hardstyle maestros Sub Zero Project to end
DLDK Amsterdam 2023 on an explosive night, rewarding fans for staying
until the very end with a set that could only be described as larger-
than-life. It wasn’t just the DJs that made this edition unforgettable
though, as the crowd’s energy and infectious happiness brought every-
thing together, acting as the unifying glue for what was a celebration of
great music, great vibes and nothing but love.

This show in Amsterdam was only the very start of what is set to be a
career milestone for the organisers of DLDK, and a year to never forget
for the DLDK name itself. Catering to nearly 470,000 fans from 96 differ-
ent countries across 131 nationalities, DLDK proves to be a unifying force.
Their world domination is taking them to Korea next, where they’ll bring
dance’s biggest names across two days in April with the likes of The
Chainsmokers, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, MORTEN and many others.

As for more news on the Amsterdam front, DLDK are already looking
towards another insane edition, confirming March 2 2024 at the Ziggo
Dome for more action like we’ve just enjoyed this month. You can visit their
