The year kicked off with a statement appearance at Creamfields, where the Xtra Hard arena roared from the first drop. A line-up stacked with heavyweights — TNT, Ammara, Miss K8, Klubfiller, Adaro, Alex Kidd — brought a relentless mix of hard dance, hardstyle, and the tougher edge of trance. It was the kind of billing that left no doubt about Xtra Hard’s reputation for delivering the most high-energy experience on site.

Later in the season, Planet Love Festival in Belfast felt the full force of the brand. Fans crammed in for pounding kicks, searing leads, and non-stop movement from open to close. Social feeds lit up with clips of the action, cementing Xtra Hard’s place as a must-see arena wherever it lands.

2022 proved once again that Goodgreef is more than just trance. Xtra Hard is a commitment to the harder styles, to a crowd that thrives on maximum energy, and to keeping that part of the scene alive on the biggest stages. For the die-hards and the curious alike, it was a year that showed exactly why Xtra Hard is a name that still hits as hard as the music it stands for.
