At last, this weekend is the big one. On Saturday 17 September, hard dance will reign at Sydney International Regatta Centre across a host of colour-coded stages, all boasting the towering production that Q-dance is renowned for. This year also sees the festival offering a VIP style camping experience for punters to extend their Defqon.1 adventure. How will they top the last two years? Not long now until we find out!
