1. Hardstyle DNA has a second stage this year

Get ready for two days of fun, dance, play, and togetherness. This year, Hardstyle DNA will not only have one stage like last year, but a second stage packed with the best raw hardstyle, hardcore, and uptempo music. For the full Hardstyle DNA line-up, check out their website. 

2. Serzo is this year's anthem maker

Serzo is this year's Hardstyle DNA anthem maker. He envisioned a different kind of anthem for the track, one without the typical "spoken word" vocals. "I collaborated with Fawlin, a singer/songwriter from whom I knew he would bring my vision to life. The melody is very important in a song like this, and I'm confident I've crafted a catchy one for this track."

At Reverze, Serzo played his track for the first time in front of an audience that included almost the whole Hardstyle DNA team. "They were very shocked and amazed by it," Serzo laughs. After that, the Norwegian DJ received many DMs on his social media regarding the anthem. "People said they already were in love with this one. That felt really good, as I've been pouring my heart and soul into each note in the melody."

Serzo ft. Fawlin — It's In Your DNA [official Hardstyle DNA anthem 2024] will be available on April 10th. You can pre-save the track here.

3. Norway has a growing hardstyle scene

It's no secret that the hardstyle scene in Scandinavia is on the rise. "There is exponential growth going on with the scene here," says Serzo. "I know for a fact that the Hardstyle scene in Norway will be even bigger year by year, step by step. Trust me, this festival will show the beginning of something very big."

4. Hardstyle DNA's location is amazing

Hardstyle DNA is situated amidst stunning natural landscapes, adding an extra dimension to the festival experience. It's also really close to Norway's capital. With a brief 15-minute train ride, you'll find yourself in the heart of Oslo, allowing you to conveniently book a hotel and immerse yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere for a weekend. 

5. Norway is a beautiful country - especially in spring

While staying in Oslo, you can also discover the beautiful country of Norway. Norway is known for its breathtaking natural beauty. Fjords, mountains, the Northern lights... Each season brings its own charm, whether it's the snow-capped mountains in winter or the endless days of the midnight sun in summer. Now, in springtime, the combination of blooming flowers, powerful waterfalls, active wildlife, and lush greenery makes Norway a truly stunning destination.

6. It's cheap to visit Norway right now
