It’s been nearly a decade since Hardwell On Air debuted in 2011, broadcasting from the Netherlands and shaking the airwaves with fist-pumping dance music. The radio show has championed the Hardwell sound, and showcased the best in big room, electro, progressive and more.
Hardwell has been operating under hiatus since 2018 — he’s still working on music, but has yet to return to the stage. In a 2020 interview, he touched on when and if he’ll make a comeback:
The honest answer is I don’t know. I’m working on a lot of music right now, I’m getting more satisfied every day when I come back to the studio. […] I wanna get that butterflies in my stomach feeling before I get on stage, but I want to get them right now in the studio. The moment I get that feeling, that crazy excitement, I will be back right away.
