This archive started in late March 2026 — but the collection behind it goes back decades. Over the years, flyers, magazines, newspapers, booklets, tickets and floor plans were gathered at events, tucked away in boxes and folders, waiting for the right moment.
That moment came when it felt like a shame to keep all of it hidden. These pieces of print were once the heartbeat of the scene — handed out at record shops, slipped under windshield wipers, pinned to club walls. They were the first impression of an event. For many of us, they are also a souvenir worth keeping.
"Flipping through an old lineup, recognising a venue floor plan, reading an interview with an artist you saw live twenty years ago — it brings the memories back in a way nothing else quite does."
Everything here has been scanned by hand, one page at a time. No shortcuts. The goal is to preserve the visual history of hardstyle and hardcore — the artwork, the lineups, the interviews, the advertisements — so it stays accessible for anyone who was there, and anyone curious about where it all began.
The archive is a work in progress. New events are added regularly as scanning continues. Some gaps still exist — rare editions, regional events, early editions of well-known series. That is where you come in.
Do you have flyers, magazines, booklets or other printed material that is not yet in this archive? Consider donating your flyers to the collection. Every contribution helps preserve a piece of history that would otherwise be lost.
