Qlimax
Qlimax is an annual hardstyle event, held at the Gelredome, in Arnhem, Netherlands
It is one of the leading events within the hardstyle community, and one of the major attractions held by Q-Dance. The Dutch edition of Qlimax is held in the third or fourth weekend of November every year.

The lineup traditionally consisted of an one opening hardtrance DJ, one jumpstyle DJ, five or more hardstyle DJ's and then finishes with one hardcore DJ. There was a departure from this type of lineup in 2008 when Q-Dance removed the jumpstyle DJ.
