Dance Valley 2006: Holland's Biggest Outdoor Music Festival

Netherlands flag icon

If you like outdoor raves, trance, house and techno music than Dance Valley is for you. It was my first outdoor festival in Holland with famous Dutch DJ's Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten.

After visiting Sensation Black 2006 I figured why not attend Dance Valley 2006 as well. My Canadian friend Paul and I got ourselves some tickets and took the pedalbus from Amsterdam Sloterdijk Station to the Dance Valley premises in Spaarnwoude which was luckily close to my parents place.

Dance Valley was an amazing event unlike Sensation this was an outdoor event.

The weather was amazing, no clouds in the sky, just pure sunshine and good beats.

There were a lot of part tents, namely: Hardstyle, Loveland, Circoloco, Psytrance and Techno.

They even had a full blown vert pipe, I wish I had brought my skates especially since my idol vert skaters were present; Eito Yasutoko, Taig Kris and my favorite Takeshi Yasutoko. These guys are miracles in a halfpipe, 1080 spins, viking flips, insane grinds, you name it.

The DJ highlights were definitely Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten.

I met up with my friend Marcel who luckily had wristbands to the VIP booth in front of the main stage where Armin van Buuren was spinning.

Unfortunately there weren't any more wristbands available so I had to sneak my way up when the guard wasn't paying attention. I made a great video of the main stage once I got upstairs.
