Tomorrowland is the world’s most sought after and anticipated electronic music festival, well actually it’s in a category of it’s own as there is nothing quite like this magical festival anywhere in the world.
Held in Boom, Belgium (16 km south of Antwerp, 32 km north of Brussels), the festival runs over two weekends this year – 18–20 July and 25–27 July – in celebration of it’s 10th anniversary.
When the festival first started in 2005 it ran over 2 days and in 2011, to cope with the incredible demand, it expanded to three days. Tickets were completely sold out after just a few days of going on sale to 180,000 festival goers. This year 360,000 tickets were sold out within hours of them going on sale.
The line up this year is monstrous! Eric Prydz plays a 3-hour set on both Fridays, Hardwell and Tiesto go live on Saturday with a 30-minute set and Sunday sees the likes of David Guetta and Steve Aoki. Other artists include Laidback Luke, Armin van Burren, Redfoo, Bakermat, Dimitri Vegas, Krewella and many more.
The full Line up can be seen on the Tomorrowland website.
Bear in mind that not every artist will be on the live stream. As per last year they will alternate between stages and artists with 30-40 minutes on each.
Back in April this year, MTV announced that it will produce two hour-long MTV World Stage specials featuring shows from the festival – to be aired in August – it will also produce a documentary about the 10th anniversary. Composer Hans Zimmer and Tomorrowland also announced that they are collaborating on the creation of a classical hymn that will debut during the festival.
The fame of the festival is spreading each year and now a US version called Tomorrowworld will run from September 26-28 in Georgia’s Chattahoochee Hills.
