Syndicate Festival is a harder styles party that takes place every October in Dortmund, Germany

The doors of the city’s Westfalenhallen open for one night each year, representing the core of the harder styles sub-culture, from the uniquely dedicated and energetic fans to the biggest artists in the scene; Destructive Tendencies, Miss K8, and hardcore legend Angerfist are all regular Syndicate performers.

The consistently supreme lineups are spread across four stages within the expansive indoor arena, transforming the Westfalenhallen, with blinding lasers and pounding sound production, into a haven for the harder styles.

Westfalenhallen is a large, indoor arena that is attached to Westfalenstadion, home of the football team Borussia Dortmund.
