In these 20,000 people grabbing hall were built up two stages and between that the crowd raged. In each case taking turns was boarded between stage 1 and stage 2 back and forth. The opening played Ronald van Gelderen on the first stage. Cor Fijneman and marks Norman followed. The very tranceful set of Above & Beyond reverberated with a laser show into the hall. On the second stage was a Liveperformance of Ernesto vs. Bastian. Then Armin van Buuren followed: as he at "Veracocha - Carte blance" climbed onto the DJ desk there was no stopping for the crowd. That was the most beautiful moment of the Trance Energy. After that a first liveperformance of Johan Gielen followed and in the connection his DJ set. Later followed Push also with a Liveperformance and after that Marcel Woods. He produced the title song of the Trance Energy with his track "Advanced". Scot Project formed the end by 5.30 o'clock.
