For over thirty years, electronic music has evolved from an underground movement into one of the most popular music genres worldwide—with ID&T as one of its first pioneers.

In the early 1990s, as electronic music exploded across Europe, Dutch dance culture was rapidly rising. Three friends, Irfan van Ewijk, Duncan Stutterheim, and Theo Lelie, decided to bring their vision to life. In 1992, they launched their first large-scale event, The Final Exam, attracting over 10,000 attendees. What started as small parties in the Netherlands grew into a global legacy, making ID&T the world’s leading electronic music entertainment company.

Today, ID&T organizes around 70 events annually, attracting over 2 million visitors. Our portfolio includes renowned festivals such as Mysteryland, DGTL, Amsterdam Open Air, Thunderdome, Defqon.1 Weekend Festival, Awakenings, Decibel Outdoor, Masters of Hardcore, and Vunzige Deuntjes. The ID&T Group also includes leading event brands B2S, Q-dance, Air Events, Art of Dance, and VD Events, alongside Platinum Agency and Most Wanted DJ Agency, the world’s two largest hard dance agencies.

Since 2021, ID&T has been part of Superstruct Entertainment, a global network of iconic festivals including De Zwarte Cross, Sziget, Sonar, Lost Village, Parookaville, and Wacken Open Air.

Our passion for music, art, culture, and sustainability keeps us at the forefront of the festival experience, continuously shaping the future of electronic music.
