Thunderdome is a concept in hardcore techno and gabber music that was mainly used for a series of parties and CD albums.

[2] Before the Thunderdome concept was started, ID&T organized a big rave called The Final Exam, that was held on 20 June 1992.

[3] In 1993, ID&T / Arcade Records started a Thunderdome compilation CD series with popular gabber music.

ID&T sold other kinds of merchandise such as T-shirts, bomber jackets, caps and an energy drink (Thundertaste).

A CD[5] that was recorded live at the party and an anniversary DVD[6] were released, both entitled Thunderdome: a Decade.

[9] On 3 October 2016, the 24th anniversary of the first edition of Thunderdome, ID&T announced a second Die Hard Day event to take place on 3 December 2016 in Amsterdam.

[12] This was followed up with a trailer uploaded to Thunderdome's YouTube channel on 30 January 2019, stating that the 2019 edition would take place at Jaarbeurs Utrecht on 26 October 2019.

The 82-minute documentary, produced in conjunction with Deep Thought Productions and 2CFilm, details the history and impact of Thunderdome, including its origins.

[27] When the first Thunderdome album was re-released in 2010, Ben Martijn (a new member of Party Animals) wrote a favorable review on the FOK!
