4 years ago, Belgium was the first country where Sensation took place
outside the borders of the Netherlands. And that's something we are still
very proud of! But during the last few years Sensation has become an
international phenomenon. In 2009 Sensation will take place in more than 22
countries - spread out over 4 continents; for example shows in Chile,
Australia, Spain, Czech, Poland, Germany,...

Together with the worldwide expansion of Sensation, the show has also
grown in an exceptional way. In Belgium, the Ethias arena is the only venue
that can hold the entire production, including the 80 metre long fountain
show. The beautiful hall has proven its qualities several times by now and is
the perfect location for the most wonderful spectacle of the year. Hasselt,
here we come!

About Sensation

Sensation began in Amsterdam in 2000 and since then more than half a
million people from all over the world have been able to witness one of the
world's most spectacular dance and music events.

The very first Sensation took place in the Amsterdam ArenA - home of the
soccer club Ajax, and was experienced by 20,000 clubbers. Sensation as we now
know it, was born in 2001. In honour of his brother Miles (who co-founded
ID&T before he sadly died in a tragic car accident), Duncan Stutterheim,
Sensation CEO, asked all Sensation visitors to dress in white, just like at
Miles' funeral. Numbers had doubled from the first year, and 80 percent of
the 40,000 (!) visitors respected Stutterheim's wish and showed up dressed in
white. The dress code was so fantastic and overwhelming that the white glow
has never disappeared since then. Be part of the night - Dress in white!

World-famous DJs already appeared on the Sensation decks during an 8-hour
spectacle of extraordinary stage shows with acrobats, performers ,
state-of-the-art lightshows, lasers and phenomenal fireworks. Let yourself be
dazzled by performers dancing across the venue and others who descend from
the peak of the roof, brilliant flames that light up the stages and carnival
floats that wend their way through the exuberant crowd.

Some of the world's best DJs have played Sensation over the years, each
helping to take the visitors through the night as the perfect musical
accompaniment to the unfolding show, making Sensation what it is today!
Tiesto, Sven Vath, Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, David Guetta, Richie Hawtin,
Axwell, Fedde le Grand, Steve Angelo, Sebastian Ingrosso and Erick Morillo
have all shown their pride on the Sensation stage at some point - many
referring to it as the highlight of their careers.

As Sensation's reputation has grown, the music has evolved and taken on
its own style. It's not just about booking the biggest DJ names anymore, it's
about choosing the people who can make Sensation the best event possible, and
play the most cutting edge music of today and tomorrow. People who have a
knack for sensing exactly what the crowd wants!

Sensation always welcomes local heroes, stars of the moment, and the
stars of the future, who always have the honour to open or close Sensation in
their own countries in front of their home crowd.

Besides the DJs and performers, the renowned Megamix is, for many people,
a shimmering climax of the Sensation show. The Megamix is what distinguishes
Sensation from all other dance events. This moment during every show is when
not the DJs, but the music itself, and the public, are the stars of the
evening. Compiled by one of the musical masterminds of ID&T, this musical
trip is characterized by a series of old and new classics, accompanied by a
spectacular show and firework display.

The show is different every year, with a changing theme - from "Space",
to "The Garden of Eden" and from "Dreams" to this year's "Ocean of White".
The new theme is launched in the Amsterdam Arena every year, and from then on
it can start conquering the whole world with its white magic.

Sensation has become the most international dance event, with shows in
countries all over Europe, such as Germany, Russia, Poland, Denmark, Spain
and, of course, Belgium.

Keep checking the tour schedule of 2009 - Sensation will take place in 22
different countries, including Australia, Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil,
Chile and many more. Sensation will be coming to a city near you!
