From May 30 to June 1, Intents Festival once again took over Oisterwijk with its signature mix of high-energy hardstyle and immersive stage design. This year’s theme, The Capital of Craziness, delivered a wild blend of circus, chaos, and relentless beats. Here’s how the weekend unfolded.
Friday – A Powerful Kick-off
The moment you walked through the gates on Friday, you were pulled straight into the world of Intents. Huge circus tents, insane decor, and pounding sound systems created a perfect atmosphere, even though not all stages were open yet.
One of the first standout sets came from Dual Damage at the Fanaticz stage – heavy kicks, huge energy, and an explosive crowd response. Later on, Spitnoise vs N-Vitral shook the Dynamite tent with an outrageous uptempo set, lasers flying everywhere, crowd fully unleashed.
Closing out the night? None other than Radical Redemption on the Mainstage. Intense, aggressive, and exactly the tone you want to set for the weekend.
Saturday – Full Power Mode
Saturday was next level. With the full festival site open and sunny skies overhead, the crowd was buzzing from the start.
The day started with Unload at Fanaticz, dropping brutal kick after brutal kick. Then it was time to explore the gigantic mainstage – a visual masterpiece filled with circus vibes, flying balloons, and theatrical energy.
As night fell, the Dynamite tent exploded with Manifest Destiny – their set was pure chaos (in the best way possible). Just when you thought the energy peaked, flames, lasers, and lights pushed everything over the edge.
Saturday ended with a jaw-dropping final show at the Mainstage – full visuals, booming sound, crowd unity, and pure goosebumps.
Sunday – For the Diehards
Sunday brought out the real ravers. Even after two heavy days, the energy on the festival grounds was electric.
It kicked off with a surprisingly heavy set from B-Front vs Phuture Noize, who turned a chilled early slot into a powerful wake-up call. At Fanaticz, Sparkz tore the place apart with one of the most intense performances of the weekend.
Later, the legendary Paul Elstak hit the Mainstage for a set that was pure nostalgia mixed with top-tier production – fire, visuals, and one of the loudest crowd reactions of the festival.
And of course, the weekend closed with the iconic final show – fireworks, music, lights, and that indescribable Intents feeling. A proper ending to a magical three days.
