R3HAB kicked off the holiday on the venue’s high-tech production, equipped with three video screens that wrapped around the entire backdrop of the stage. Anticipation began to build as R3HAB teased the crowd with Afrojack’s upcoming set by flashing videos above the DJ booth and handing out branded balloon sticks and glowsticks for fans to raise in the air. As Afrojack was escorted into the venue, like a fighter going into battle, he was surrounded by the gorgeous model staff all holding glow sticks high above their head. He took the stage shortly after 1 a.m. while a wave of excitement shook the dance floor as thousands of clubgoers simultaneously began to dance to the DJs signature tracks under a cloud of confetti cascading from the ceiling.
