Founded in 2012 at the heart of the Netherlands, Verknipt emerged as a bold and ambitious force in the hard dance scene. From the outset, the brand’s mission was clear: to push boundaries, embrace evolving sounds, and redefine the genre. As the hard dance landscape transformed, so did Verknipt, rapidly growing from an underground movement into one of the genre’s most influential names.

The journey was paved with unforgettable club shows across the Netherlands, each event building a dedicated fanbase and setting the stage for what would become a global phenomenon. In 2015, Verknipt took its first major leap by launching Verknipt Festival, a groundbreaking event that quickly became synonymous with innovation, energy, and the cutting edge of dance. This was just the beginning.

By 2024, Verknipt had solidified its position as a global leader in the hard dance movement, selling out a massive 40,000-capacity arena show and expanding its reach far beyond the Netherlands. With over 20 events across 11 countries in 2025, Verknipt continues to fuel its mission of bringing its signature energy to fans around the world.
