Before you head into the forest to make your way to the other stages, stop at the beautiful archway that reads, “Yesterday is history, Today is a gift, Tomorrow is mystery.” These words make for yet another fabulous photo opp, and they are the perfect reminder of the wisdom you are leaving with. You have the knowledge now on how to live your lives to the fullest. You must make every day about love, about harmony, about the music that connects us all. You’ve already changed the world.

Waking up yesterday morning was a little harder than the day before, but DreamVille campers are prevailing like absolute champs! Hangovers, sore muscles and tired feet aren’t going to keep the people of DreamVille from preparing to make each day of this celebration more epic than the last. After cleaning up, campers went on to deck themselves out in their best rave
getups and creative costumes, finishing their looks with flags, glitter, body paint, makeup, crazy sunglasses and wacky hats. DreamVille campers are letting their true colors show, and it’s inspiring everyone to be you and be free!

VERY ImPORTANT PERSONAL ShOwER
Showers turn out to be pretty handy after a day and night of dancing. Most of you took one in the morning for a fresh and fruity start to the day. Without a shower curtain, taking a shower would be a rather awkward experience. Some of you might like that and choose to leave them all open, but most of you have probably appreciated your daily moment of me-time. Way to go, girls!
Where are those missed connections?
I made necklaces for all the beauties near my work station.

The beats are pumping through your chest. Your body’s moving instinctively with the rhythms pulsating from the speakers. You and everyone around you are in your element. Weather you’re chilling in the grass in your own bubble or simply can’t help yourself and are splashing through a pool of water... in the end, it doesn’t matter. You have set your spirit free. The sound waves are cleansing your soul, and you’re able to transform any obstacles that come before you into beautiful segments of a dream, a dream that you never want to wake up from. Because it is here and only here that you can be the most outrageous, most ridiculous and most free person you can be. And by being your pure and free self, you are inspiring others to do the same. Thank you. You are absolutely loved for it.

IT’S A New DAy Here are 3 must-haves to keep you going strong:1. A clean start. You will probably want to freshen up or change your clothes midday but make sure to leave your campsite “so fresh and so clean.”
2. Sunglasses. Don’t let the Georgia sun impair your vision. You’ll want a clear view of Diplo’s hair when you are at the main stage.
3. Your festival flag. Rep your nation and make your country proud. When you get tired of carrying it, wrap it or turn it into a cape.
We would like to congratulate Filip Verhulst and his fiancé Eline Peeters. Filip surprised the love of his life with a marriage proposal during a helicopter flight over the Mainstage of TomorrowWorld. And guess what? She said yes! Cheers to you, lovebirds!

YES!
Looking for a bite? How about an ethnic dish that will have your taste buds dancing too? When walking along the pond as you are coming back from the Mainstage or Dreamville and heading to the Anthem Stage, you might be surprised to find more food stations, but not just any food stations. These creative Asian eateries are serving up something completely different to keep your last day in TomorrowWorld full of exciting flavors. Side by side, these food stands are offering Vietnamese, sushi and Korean BBQ. With several yummy items to choose from like spring rolls and Miyaki as well as the option to customize a meal to your liking, you’re sure to find the savory satisfaction you were hoping for.

BeHIND THe SceNeS of TomorrowworlD TV The hardworking team behind TomorrowWorld TV are on location every day here at TomorrowWorld to capture the madness. They are filming six hours of live music each day and streaming it LIVE on YouTube so the rest of the globe can join this once-in-a-lifetime party. Their amazing work give over 50 million viewers the privilege of watching the people and artists of Tomorrow make history.
With a crew of 120 people, multiple trailers and 15 high-tech cameras, these people are trained to capture the true essence of each epic moment through high quality HD video. Each night they go live from 7pm to midnight allowing the rest of the planet to party along even if they are thousands of miles away from the festival gates. These people are tuning in from their computers, from smart TVs in their living rooms, from their phones, from any device where they can watch YouTube.
There are already over 120 different nationalities that gather from around the world to attend this festival so the camera crew felt it would only be appropriate to extend it to every corner of the globe, giving all the opportunity to be a part of this unique utopia. Taking advantage of top-notch technology, they are empowered by the idea of helping to unite the world even more through the infinite power of TomorrowWorld. They believe it not only enables people outside the walls of the festival to enjoy this life-changing experience, but that it also enhances it for the people here on the festival grounds. After hearing just what they do and how tirelessly they work, one realizes that they are truly turning the seemingly impossible into reality.
When filming, they are not only sharing the action of the stage but also the energy of the beautiful people of Tomorrow that make this festival so damn special. What they are looking for are those people that truly represent the madness, the bliss, and the oh-so-magical fairy tale of TomorrowWorld. Pannecoucke, the senior and master overseer of this incredible production, directs all of the footage and treats it as a story that must be scripted. According to him, it is script that is constantly metamorphosing with the energy and unexpected occurrences of the festival. They move with the ebb and flow of the music and excitement here at TomorrowWorld so that the footage can accurately reflect the real-life experience. He says it is like a dance, and he is the choreographer. The whole production team acts as a family, and everyone’s role is equally important. He explains that his favorite part is actually triggering the videos during the live feed because at this point, he is helping transfer the energy of his concept into a tangible creation.
Three giant trailers are used to run this enormous operation, and everything is done on-site and on time. An engineer’s dream and a techie’s fantasy, it was mind-boggling to see just how many buttons, monitors, gizmos and knobs are present within these spaceships of production. Each trailer is designed to focus on particular aspects of each operation, and everyone is decked out with gear that will literally make one’s jaw drop. For instance, their editing trailer is filled with over 100 TV monitors all mounted to one wall for simultaneous viewing. The whole operation is cutting-edge, straight out of the future and straight into Tomorrow. Without it, TomorrowWorld would not be the same. And without TomorrowWorld TV, we wouldn’t be changing the world one glorious moment at a time.

THe fry guy: geT your BelgAIN-STyle frIeS The debate on where the French fry was born may be over thanks to these fantastic fries. These aren’t just a side dish, they are a main course. With the option of being smothered in up to seven different sauces from Thai peanut to Gorgonzola aioli, these fries come with mouth-watering toppings like bacon, chives and truffles. Winner of The Best Atlanta Street Food 2014, this booth knows how to bring the Belgian flavors to the fry-lovers of the world. They use a twice-cooked method so that they are soft on the inside yet crunchy on the outside. If you are looking to really indulge, stop by this Fry Guy and get your fill of hearty fries.
Inside this world we have come to call a second home, there is a little subsection called the Belgian Village. It’s an authentic piece of the home where the Land of Tomorrow resides. It also acts as a sweet (and tasty) reminder of who and where the phenomenal concept of TomorrowWorld was born.
Do AS THe BelgIANS Do!
BAllS AND glory: THe BelgIAN meATBAll STANDCalling all meat-lovers, come and enjoy a traditional dish that is to Belgium what the hamburger is to the United States. Smothered in red curry sauce and gravy, covered with sesame seeds, and diced with truffles and mushrooms, these bad boys go beyond just a typical ball of meat. Large and in charge, these meatballs are so delectable and filling they are capable of being a meal of their own. The meat is cut and stuffed onsite with local pork. They like to have the freshest meat possible and back in Belgium, they actually raise their own pigs to ensure the highest quality meatball.
crePeS: A New wAy To eAT A PANcAkeOver in Belgium, crepes are a very popular dish to find on a menu. These Pancake-like encased meals have a wide range of stuffing’s from the dinner-style versions filled with meat to the desert variety filled with chocolate and fruit. The most popular ones they sell there are the Cordon Blue and the Nutella with strawberry. Although this company is based in the USA, they still maintain the traditions from overseas in Belgium. If you’re a foodie, this stand is worth the trip. These authentic and delicious crepes will treat your taste buds to an entirely new culinary experience.
BelgIAN Beer cAfe:DrINk lIke A reAl BelgIAN Chandeliers, leather chairs, barrel tables, and an old fashion bar. These are the things you will see upon entering the Belgium Beer Bar. They went above and beyond to bring a true Belgian pub experience to the world of Tomorrow. Not only do they serve the beers brewed in Belgium, but they also offer them in the traditional chalice and goblets you would see across seas. Just like France with wine, Belgians love their beer and are very particular about the way it is made and presented. So come learn to drink like a real Belgian!
VISIT flANDerS:THe BooTH of golDeN oPPorTuNITyAccording to the travel guide, this tent is the most important nook in this particular village. It is important because it helps the economy of Flanders by informing people of what it has to offer and reminding us all that it is the birthplace city of Tomorrowland. One of the greatest things it has to offer is an amazing giveaway that anyone can (and everyone should) participate in. The prize is – believe it or not – a pair of three-day passes to Tomorrowland in Belgium! All you have to do to enter is explain why you would be the best candidate for this coveted prize using #VisitFlanders.

Brothers & Sisters of TomorrowWorld…
It’s all love.
What a Friday it was. I was completely blown away by the set from Tiësto. Quick fire in the mix, banger after banger. Top set from the top dude that he is. Wasn’t Kygo also great? Serious soul for a new generation of EDM artists. Filling in for Avicii is no easy task, but he excelled himself. Shout to Grammy winner Zedd, too. Paris, Henry, Cash Cash, all solid but for me personally MatZo was the man!!!!!As I type this, Saturday is building up to be legendary, no question. I hope you are all in good shape because Sunday is your last chance to really unify and show the world that you are the best party people in the world. You are of course, but still, you’re streaming across the globe to more than 50 million viewers, no pressure hahaha. The culture that we are part of is changing the world, so with the lessons learned here in Atlanta, take the love and share it with the world. Don’t be shy. It’s time to stand up for our right to be free of the disillusioned leaders that are bent on dragging us into war. Speak out. Let yourselves be heard. Stop the hate and ensure the future is bright, without fear of what we are being fed through a corrupt media. Take care of one another for the remainder of our time here. Make sure to stay in touch, and I hope to see you all again very, very soon. The best is yet to come!!DreamVille, you rock! We are nothing without you guys. We would be just another festival but because of you, we are the best festival in the world.Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. We love you more than you can ever understand. Have a safe trip home wherever that me be and march to the beats, together.
Viva la revolution, One love!!!

There is a beautiful building atop a hill that everyone who passes wants to know, “what is that mysterious mansion?” It’s a gorgeous stable transformed into a pristine palace fit for kings and queens. And kings and queens they are, the artists of Tomorrowworld. Their fame is far-reaching, and they all convene and unwind together in the mansion, which is perfectly suited for these magnanimous rulers.
The mystical mansion sitting atop the hill and overlooking the festival grounds is awe-inspiring. The pink up-lighting and unicorn statues point to the fairy tale world within. A world specifically built for the royalty of Tomorrow, this seven star mini-resort is a place of luxury and pampering. What makes this mansion even more glorious is the role it plays as a matchmaker in music heaven. It is here where like-minded kings and queens have a chance to meet, greet and open that brilliant door to (im)possible collaborations.
The reporters of TomorowoWorld Today had the humbling opportunity to be under the touring guide of the famous MC Stretch who helped introduce us to some of the golden gods and goddesses of the EDM world. Before we began our journey we asked him what it was like to reside within the walls of this
sparkling mansion. He proceeded to quote Dr. Martin Luther King saying, “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” He is a legend himself, after all, having been on the scene from the very beginning. But this quote begins to explain the hard work that these kings and queens put in to be where they are today, they are after all just slaves to the music like us.
Our first stop on the tour began with the allusive MAKJ who informed us that the mansion is like a sex paradise or something straight out of Brazors.com. The sexy lighting, the canopy lounges, full open bar, and gourmet food all remind him of these particular things. Apart from the atmosphere and attentive staff his favorite part of the mansion experience is the ability to collaborate on the spot. As of yesterday, MAKJ and DiCre were able to finalize a track they have been currently producing together. He said it was a wonderful thing to work face-to-face as opposed to Skyping. As a result, they were able to finalize and debut a new track together here at TomorrowWorld.
Next we were able to speak with local Atlanta legends Eddie Gold and DJ Baels. Both DJs rose very quickly in the Atlanta scene over the past few years so for them to be side by side playing amongst their heroes was a fantasy-turned-reality. One of their favorite parts of the mansion is the ability to look and see the mountain that we know as the Mainstage to get amped before performing. When asked to describe in one word the feelings that surged through them, they both responded with, “Gratitude.”
Last but certainly not least we met the charismatic and up-and-coming artist, M4sonic. Only 18 months on the scene, this prince was magically granted the pass to become apart of such royalty. He feels like he is a part of a community that acts as family. Yes, there is hierarchy but in the end, they are all in this together. He explains that music is the universal language that we all speak, and it’s places like the mansion that enables people to speak the many dialects of the music world. Once again it was mentioned that the best part is the propensity to collaborate within these noble walls. For these reporters, this coverage was by far are most majestic. Thank you kings and queens of TomorrowWorld for allowing us to step inside the grand dominion of your imagination.

Located on the lake, a colossal collage of framed mirrors tilt and lean, appearing to defy Inside of each frame is an LED screen that reflects breathtaking images synced to the music. The first day, the people of Tomorrow could venture lakeside to see the likes of A-Trak, Zeds Dead and Bassnecter. Yesterday, Mad Decent turned the frames upside down with acts like Dillon Francis, Diplo and Cashmere Cat. For the final installation of the frame stage, Dim Mak vs. Smash the House will be lighting up the stage with a lineup that includes Borgore, Waka Flocka Flame and 3 Are Legend.
This tent transports you to a fairy tale scene with a stage that’s designed like an enchanted tree covered in mushrooms and ready to reveal the secrets of the universe to its crowd of eager dancers. It was the perfect place to find yourself in a trance as the tent became the home of Trance-Addict with acts including Myon and Shane 54 and Aly & Fila. Yesterday, OWSLA was able to flex its muscles here with sets including Jack Beats and Foreign Beggars. And today, this tent will be brimming with bass with a heavy lineup that will end with Sub Focus and Datsik.
This stage is more like an Arabian palace of swirling color and life! The people of TomorrowWorld pilgrimage to this stage to praise and dance for the EDM gods. On Friday, the stage became a homage to all things Trap as beat bosses including Crizzly and Yellow Claw took the stage. Saturday saw this temple turn into the Anthem stage with acts like Firebeatz, MAKJ and Swanky Tunes. Today, the people of Tomorrow will be taken on a magical Arabian ride as the stage becomes Minus and minimalist master Richie Hawtin takes over with his techno team which includes Maceo Plex and Paco Osuna.

Brought to you piece by piece all the way from Belgium, these eye-popping stages became the portals through which the people of Tomorrow could step inside their wildest dreams. It took many hands and weeks of toiling to construct and adorn these elaborate structures. Graced by the best DJs and producers that EDM has to offer, each stage features its own unique theme to create a completely immersive environment that would transport you to a world of magic and mystery beyond anything you could ever imagine.

Enjoy a natural forest floor underfoot at this intimate stage with whimsical woodland setting. It’s a place where your inner forest creature can take over as you dance between the trees like no one’s watching. The Grand Theatre was christened on Friday with Lane 8, Jody Wisternoff and 16 Big Lolitas as the Anjunadeep stage. On Saturday, this forest theatre was introduced to the people of TomorrowWorld as home of Back Butter where Redlight, My Nu Leng, and Kidnap Kid set the forest ablaze. Today, the Grand Theatre becomes the French Express and Ben Pearce and Jonas Rathman will surely have the trees dancing, too.
Stepping inside this mammoth-of-a-tent, you’re treated to a wonderful escape from the sun as your feet are greeted with a spacious wooden dance floor. With giant petals delicately opening to the sky and colors popping with electric energy, this stage will whisk you away to a magical field of flowers. The superheros of Super You&Me, Bassjackers, Blasterjaxx and Laidback Luke, brought this garden to life on the first day. Then yesterday, Pete Tong took over the vibrant scene with Jamie Jones and John Digweed. Today, this stage will go Full On crazy with Ferry Corsten and his crew which includes Cosmic Gate and Orjan Nilsen.
A raised TomorrowWorld flower surrounded in sparkling pools of water made for a fun stage to dance as you cool off. This stage became the platform for Q dance to showcase their hardstyle sounds on the first day of the festival. On Saturday, the floating flower blossomed into the Belgian stage. Makasi, Regi and Romeo Blanco had people splashing like crazy! Today, the stage is powered by Liquified and becomes the home of local Atlanta talent who will show the beautiful people of TomorrowWorld why they are here in Georgia and why they never want to leave.
The crown jewel of stages, the Volcano is the centerpiece of TomorrowWorld. This magnificent mountain is covered in creeping vines, colorful flowers and mysterious tribal figures. Hidden doorways allow artists to make a special entrance while an enormous LED screen reveals the face of the Spirit of a Mountain. We saw the Volcano in action for the first time on Friday with superstars including Zedd and Tiësto. On Saturday, the Volcano exploded with the sounds of megastars like Steve Aoki and Skrillex. Today, we will once again witness a jaw-dropping eruption of fire and smoke when EDM gods including Martin Garrix, David Guetta and Kaskade take the stage.

EDM veteran Richie Hawtin is here, and he’s bringing us a totally new mix of minimal techno as he hosts the Minus stage of TomorrowWorld. Originally hailing from Oxfordshire, this Ontario-based electronic musician has been a leading proponent of minimal techno for nearly 20 years after he helped to kindle the second wavers coming out of Detroit, the birthplace of techno, in the early ‘90s. He co-founded and launched both Plus 8 Record (1990) and M-nus Records (1998). His legacy also includes his work under the pseudonym Plastikman as well as his experimental ENTER event in Ibiza. The people of TomorrowWorld can catch Hawtin and other minimal techno artists including Davi, N-Sound, Justin James, Gaiser, Paco Osuna and Maceo Plex.
The combined powerhouse forces of Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike touchdown at TomorrowWorld’s Dim Mak vs. Smash the House stage. Since 1996, Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak label has been releasing chart-worthy tracks in every genre of EDM, making a mark on other genres including pop, punk and indie, as well. Featuring everything from Bloc Party to MSTRKRFT, Dim Mak is continuously pumping out hit after hit. This year, Dim Mak is teaming up with Smash the House to bring an even bitter party to the People of TomorrowWorld. Owned and operated by Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Smash the House is the main outlet for their massive original tracks and collabs with a roster of well-known artists like Blasterjaxx and Yves V. You don’t want to miss the extravaganza that will ensue with these industry leaders.

So, the final day has arrived. You’ve already completed two (and a half) days of non-stop partying. Can you do one more? Of course you can! To help you muster up enough energy, we’ve got a stellar lineup of friendly faces, luminaries and EDM megastars behind the decks. First of all, there’s Full On Ferry, with Ferry Corsten. He’ll be playing almost the entire day, sometimes solo, sometimes back-to-back with Cosmic Gate. Minus is where you’ll find the best minimal house and techno. Minimal master Richie Hawtin,
Maceo Plex and Gaiser are all ready to prove why less equals more. With DVBBS, Deorro, Keys N Krates and 3lau, to say the lineup at Dim Mak vs. Smash the House is stacked would be an understatement. Even Waka Flocka Flame will take the stage. The three CEOs of Dim Mak and Smash the House – Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike – will join forces for a 3 Are Legend set to close out the stage. At All Your Bass Are Belong To Us, there will be enough bass to blow your clothes off. Pegboards Nerds, Snails, Dirtyphonics, Bro Safari
and Datsik – need we say more? So gear up, get ready, ignore the blisters, grab some tokens and prepare for one last day of pure mayhem. You better psych yourself up now because you need to hit the fields as fresh and ready as you were on Friday. It’s time to turn it up one more time! This time… even louder! It’s Sunday people. Let’s show the world what we came here to do: Make history!

3 ARE LEGEND
focuS oN glorIouS SuNDAyDim Mak vs. Smash The House Stage: 11:00 – 12:00
3 Are Legend is a synergy between a collective of titans from the electronic scene with a shared goal: To wreak musical havoc on international dance floors from Los Angeles and London to Singapore and Sydney. This trio is made-up of Tomorrowland kings Dimitri Vegas and his brother Like Mike, as well as Dim Mak mastermind Steve Aoki, and they first came together back in 2012 during Steve’s now legendary Deadmeat tour. Yet, how much do you really know about this trifecta? We dug up some facts on Steve, Dimitri & Like Mike that you most likely never knew.
STEVE AOKI:His father was a professional wrestler.Steve Aoki’s father is none other than former professional wrestler Hiroaki “Rocky” Aoki, who also founded the first Benihana restaurant in 1965 in New York City.
Steve credits his father for teaching him the ins & outs of brand marketing. Dim Mak as a brand is a club night, record label, and much more. Steve has said that he learned how to properly market his brand from his father’s work with Benihana.
Steve used to be in a hardcore punk band. Steve was the vocalist for This Machine Kills from 1997 to 2000. After their split, Steve started out DJ-ing indie and hip-hop tracks, which eventually lead to producing his own remixes and original material.
Steve was straightedge in college. Aoki was big into the punk rock scene as a kid and in college says he lived a straightedge lifestyle, not touching alcohol or drugs.
DIMITRI VEGAS & LIKE MIKE:Grandparents of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike were raging, front and center, in the crowd during their set at Tomorrowland. As seen on YouTube, their grandparents got the full experience of the massive production by getting up front to see their grandsons perform their hits at Tomorrowland. They seemed to be enjoying the view and the vibe!
They come from a long line of mechanics. Their great-grandfather owned and operated a bike shop during both World Wars.
Dimitri was sent to live abroad in his younger years. After falling in with the wrong crowd, Dimitri was sent to live out of
the country and find employment. He landed a job at a hotel in entertainment. This led to his first DJ gigs and snowballed into a career.
A live Erick Morillo set caused Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike to switch from vinyl to CDJs. After witnessing Erick using the effects and loop functions, they gave up vinyl and turntables in favor of the CDJs.
They do not usually listen to the original when working on a remix.They throw out the rulebook when remixing tracks. They usually go through the samples and loops, making multiple versions until they have something they are happy with.

Guetta is back! An essential artist in the worldwide success of house, David Guetta has been fusing house, pop, hiphop and a whole lot of other genres for decades now. He’s been part of Tomorrowland almost every single edition and knows how to make the valley we all love so much go utterly insane with joy and brilliant music. For his latest
masterpiece, ‘Nothing But the Beat’ (2011), he worked with fabled artists from all over the musical spectrum, such as Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, Usher, Jessie J. Will.I.Am and many more. “I produced about 40 songs to get these 13 records together. I wanted every song to be huge, to be phenomenal.” You can say a lot about David, but it’s a fact he’s been
pushing borders of music since the very beginning. “I wanted to use my success to introduce newer fans to what my culture is about and where my inspiration comes from.” A job well done, to say the least.

KEYS ‘N KRATES Dim Mak Vs. Smash the House 8:00
Reeeemix! This unique trio changes the game by bringing an explosive live analog presence to their performance. Keys ‘n Krates is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. They re-invented remixing and took it to a whole other level. Each band member does his own thing, but together they are the perfect storm. Adam Tune is the drummer, they’ve got David Matisse on the keys and World Champion Jr. Flo for the turntables. These men combine live instrumentation, turntablism and live sampling right before your eyes. They remix anything from pop music to hip-hop. The latter is always their starting point, because it lends a certain street vibe that they want to carry over through their performances. They have been labeled as a trap band, but that doesn’t quite cover their refreshing sound. In fact, they’re better thought of as jazz-influenced DJs mixing glitch-hop screeches with sweeping basslines.
PEGbOARD NERDSA.Y.B.B.T.U 5:00
After 20 years of making a name on their own in trance, house, eurodance, electro and techno, these two Scandinavians decided to team up. Alexander Odden and Michael Parsberg became Pegboard Nerds. When they signed a deal with Canadian label Monstercat, things really started to work out for them. Finally, they got recognition for their talent and their hard work. They’ve managed to remix over 200 tracks on top of over 100 original productions. The biggest names in the game began to pay attention. Knife Party asked them to be their show support and they collaborated with Infected Mushroom. Over the years Pegboard Nerds gained a fan base with fans from all over the world, racking up millions of plays. No one and no place is the world is safe from the Nerds anymore. They’ve been invited to clubs ranging from Ibiza all the way to Moscow, and now they are here with us!
Having dominated the clubs in Manchester for years, Ben Pearce took over every single deep-house club on the planet with his debut. ‘What I Might Do’ topped the charts all across the globe and… a new deep-house star was born! In his hometown of Manchester, the electronic music lovers already knew that they Ben Pearce’s gigs were the place to go to for the finest deephouse, but after his platinum debut the whole world knew it. Big names like Seth Troxler and Theo Parrish noticed his skills and Pearce became one of the genre’s superstars. Ben spent years and years promoting a recurring club night before he decided that it was time to focus on producing music. His new direction turned out to be a massive success for Ben. He’s currently working harder than ever, and we can see him push forwards like someone who knows that their career in the deephouse world has only just begun.

On a trajectory from Chicago, Kaskade has crash-landed into the EDM world with meteoric force! The impact of his music has been felt ever since. He has been around for more than a decade and paved the way for the EDM scene in the US. His belief in the power of dance music was decisive in Las Vegas’ status as the place to be for amazing clubs. It was Kaskade who signed up for what would turn out to be a groundbreaking double residency at the
Marquee and the Encore Beach Club, before it was even built. He’s played at all the major summer festivals and remixes songs for pop icons like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. Over the last ten years he’s done almost 200 headlining EDM shows a year, and has still reserved time to drop an album every other year. He got the recognition he deserves and was nominated for a Grammy thrice. Applause!
Under the guidance of minimal master Richie Hawtin, record label Minus has established itself as a safe haven for creative souls who are all about producing slick and well-balanced futuristic techno. Through his Plastikman and Concept projects, Richie has laid the foundation of what now has become more than a label. Since its conception in 1998, Minus has become a family, an intimate collective consisting out of men and women with their
vision firmly towards the future. Richie himself is famous for being on the forefront when it comes to new software and hardware. In the past he has mastered the art of the 909, the 303 and Final Scratch. In the present day Richie rips stages apart with Ableton Live in combination with Traktor. With Minus, Richie’s currently focusing on Berlin, picking up and promoting new talents – some of whom are present at TomorrowWorld as well.
This man saw his popularity explode with his festival trap mix of Hardwell’s ‘Spaceman’. Carnage became an icon in the trap world and got lots of fans. And with new fan come new expectations. The crowd wanted to hear trap music during his live sets, but Carnage doesn’t care what people think of him. Or about the expectations they have. So, he did the opposite. In his latest sets he’s played more house music than trap and sometimes he even drops a hardstyle track to make the crowd go
wild. His fight against attempts to be labeled as a trap icon was one of the biggest things he had to deal with, but his true fans know where he came from. Carnage was already producing house before his bass music became so popular. And now that his true style has become better known, he’s found a loyal fanbase that loves all of his sound. Including the occasional trap banger – which he’s sure to drop today as well.
They are fresh! They are Canadian, with a hint of Dutch! DVBBS (which is pronounced ‘dubs’, by the way) is bringing the mayhem to you! Since Tsunami took the world by storm, the two brothers have taken off at lightning speed into stardom. Chris and Andre, who first started off playing punk and dub reggae, have the fullest support of Quintino, Tiësto, Sander van Doorn and many others. Don’t consider them one-hit-wonders! After the success of Tsunami they
hooked up with another new, young and popular producer: Martin Garrix. The result? Gold Skies, in which legend Sander van Doorn also took part. During their sets they’re all over the place, from trap to hardstyle to electro to house. After smashing Ultra and EDC, DVBBS finally arrive at the epic tale that is Tomorrowland. Prepare to be blasted upside down and inside out by them!
