Everyone was thrilled by the amazing atmosphere that the festival offered. The next year visitor turnout doubled to more than 6000.

Everything had to be built from scratch but the festival's site options became nearly limitless. The amount of visitors hit more than 20 000 followed by the festival winning the "BEST FESTIVAL" award in Drum&BassArena Awards once again.
