Trance Energy
Trance Energy is a Dutch dance event featuring trance DJs. It is organised by ID&T and has been held from 1999 to 2007 in various venues from the Netherlands twice a year. Traditionally, there was a "small" edition and a big edition each year. In 2002, the small edition failed to sell out its 15,000-person ticket capacity and thereafter, Trance Energy was only held annually at the Jaarbeurs convention center in Utrecht, Netherlands where it has since been sold out each year.
Modern editions of Trance Energy usually focus on three stages located in different halls of the Jaarbeurs convention center and connected by corridors :
The "Mainstage" (capacity : 20 000 people) where headline's DJs of the night do their sets. The sets are usually between one and two hours long. Impressive light show with lasers, lights and fireworks are featured along with some acts (dancers, live, ...). The setup is quite typical of a "classic" trance party : Minimal decoration with mosts of the ambiance being created by the lights and the structural elements used to rig them. Only the size makes it different.
The "Madhouse" (capacity : 5000 people) usually managed by DJ Jean (a famous DJ in the Netherlands) which features music more audible for the mainstream. This stage is often heavily criticized by most of the visitors who find the music played there too cheesy. However, as trance has been huge commercially speaking, some people may go to Trance Energy not really knowing what to expect and this stage may provide them music which is less "underground" than the mainstage or the alternate stage. Along with DJ Jean, others DJ plays there during the night.
An alternate stage whose name changes each year (capacity : 5000 people) where edgier trance than on the mainstage is played. This stage often features very famous names who are able to take more risks musically speaking than what they would be allowed on the mainstage. As a result, it is not uncommon for some artists to do a performance on the mainstage and do another one on the alternate stage like it was the case with Armin Van Buuren at the 2006 edition.
As of 2007, a fourth stage will appear : The "hardstage" where harder derivatives of Trance music will be played. It is not known, if due do this fourth stage, ID&T will issue more tickets or not.
Visitors are provided with many services including a giant cloakroom and an efficient food and drink service located in the Chillout area.
