Description

In the midst of the almost endless fields of Lower Austria lies the world’s unique Zwentendorf nuclear power plant. Built between 1972 and 1976 – but never put into operation – the location is just waiting to be revitalised with new energy.

Since 2017, the unmistakable site has been transformed into a festival location each year. Thousands of visitors meet there to escape everyday life together and party to banging beats of Hard Styles. Austria’s biggest Harder Styles Festival. 1 day with 12 hours party on 5 stages with 50 acts and plenty of BPM.

Genre & Program

All in all, the Harder Styles range from Hardstyle, Raw, Freestyle, Early, Hardcore to Uptempo. With the variety of over 50 acts, from 140 bpm – 250 bpm, there is something for every hard dance lover.
