TOMORROWLAND TODAY WINTER 2026

PEOPLE OF TOMORROW,

STEP UP TO THE TOP, TOGETHER!

Welcome, fellow travellers, friends from far and wide. You’ve made it to the edge of a week that does not behave like all the others. Time shifts in subtle ways here. As you ascend to the ceiling of the world, thoughts slow down and new senses wake up. Whatever was chasing you at home starts to fade into the distance, as if it no longer has a claim on you. Before you step further towards the summit, take a moment to reflect. Feel the drifting and dancing of the snow, the quiet certainty of it. Let it whirl around your mind with thousands of flakes refracting the glittering mountain light like so many supernatural strobe lights. Let it remind you that wonder does not always arrive with fireworks: sometimes it arrives

YOUR FRIEND WITH THE PLAN

Everyone needs that one friend who knows where to go, what time to leave, and how to get there without getting tangled in side quests. This week, that friend is the Tomorrowland Winter Festival App. Save your favourite artists, build a timetable that actually fits your vibe, and use the interactive map to hop between stages, food spots, and quick one-drink detours. It’ll also ping you with real-time updates if anything changes. Download it before you hit the slopes though – the pistes may be wide, but the signal… not always. And don’t forget to allow location services and notifications for an optimal experience!

with a jump – on the slopes or on the dancefloor – that lands at just the right time. Tomorrowland Winter gathers you, all of you, from every direction, to belong and create something new together. For a few days, the mountain becomes a shared language, spoken in glances, in laughter, in the unspoken understanding that you are exactly where you need to be. Friends: if you look closely, you will notice new silhouettes in the night. A glow you may not have followed last year. A frost-lit presence that feels discovered rather than built. Let it stay mysterious for now. Some things reveal themselves best when you are already inside the moment.

THE SUMMIT’S NEW SECRET

There is no missing it this week: a brand-new Mainstage is ready to claim the mountain. Mysterious on purpose, it’s like a butterfly, never revealing everything at once. But it’s yours to explore. Just follow the glow across the snow and step into its sacred sanctuary, where light flutters, sound blooms, and the silence finally ends.

FROM THE SNOWIEST OF SLOPES...

A brand new world unfolds in snow With every dance, your story grows So upon these old mountains, mighty and fine leave no trace but memories, and forever they’ll shine

WEATHER FORECAST

A quick reality check from the mountains: Alpe d’Huez loves a plot twist. At the time of writing, the week is shaping up with a mix of beautiful blue sky moments and passing clouds, but there’s always a chance of fresh sprinkle when the mountains feel like it. Pack layers, waterproofs, and sunglasses in the same bag. Up here, you can meet four seasons before dinner. And remember, if a snow shower does show up mid-run, just call it a scenic upgrade.

WHEN WINTER STARTS TO GLOW

Among these peaks, the world feels a little quieter, and at the same time, a lot bigger. The air is crisp, the ridgelines keep watch, and the everyday rush you brought with you slowly dissolves into something softer. In that calm, a new kind of energy takes over, the kind that only happens when People of Tomorrow arrive from near and far and instantly move to the same rhythm. It happens naturally, not because you planned it, but because this place just conjures it out of you. It’s seen in a shared smile, a quick nod in passing, and a familiar feeling in a completely unfamiliar setting.

This year, the story carries fresh sparks. A brand-new Mainstage rises like a newly discovered heartbeat, glowing with that unmistakable Tomorrowland touch, inviting the night to begin again and again. And then there is Orbyz, shimmering like a secret carved from ice and imagination, a world that feels both mysterious and perfectly at home in the Alpine air.

In the pages ahead, you will find the guides, the stories, and the highlights. Out there, you will find each other. Welcome… to Tomorrowland Winter!

TURNING YOUR WHOLE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN!

CONNECT, DREAM, EXPLORE

This week, Sunweb are turning the festival into a scavenger hunt with a reward that ends inside a very special venue. Start by tracking down the four totems near the stage perimeters around Chantebise, Signal, the Mainstage and Folie Douce. Scan them all, answer the short question, and discover your travel persona: Connector, Dreamer, or Explorer – the mountain will decide. If you are quick, you might be among the first to discover their profile and unlock access to an intimate church gathering which runs Tuesday to Friday (and yes, you can bring a plus one). Every evening brings fresh winners, so try again if you miss out. Afterwards, take your new persona to The Memory Machine in the Main Festival Area, where you can step in, pose, and capture a personalised picture where the background matches your profile. Four scans, one storyline, and a keepsake that feels weirdly accurate…

NATION OF CELEBRATION

Some souvenirs might fit in your pocket, but this one stamps itself into your week. Step into BUD’s Nation of Celebration and collect your very own Tomorrowland passport, ready for a trail of marks that prove you were right here, living it. Most importantly, though, it is your way to becoming a Citizen of Tomorrowland. Each stamp marks a moment, a memory, and a step deeper into the Nation of Celebration. Not sure where to start? Go for the photo moment, strike your best pose, then slide over to the bar and raise a cold one to the night ahead. Come back whenever you feel like it – the doors stay open all week!

THE LIGHT IN YOUR HANDS

There are small rituals that can turn an ordinary night into a story, and Red Bull is bringing one of them back to every Tomorrowland Winter bar this season. Those who look a little closer will have no trouble spotting it: a special edition light-up cup, waiting to be chosen for one extra Pearl with the purchase of a Red Bull. Giving off a modest glow at first, it’ll turn to a steady shimmer that will make the crowd feel like a moving constellation. One by one, as cups appear in hands across the festival grounds, bright dots drift through the dark, gathering near the music, floating towards friends and lovers alike. The light-up cup is a simple object with an oddly powerful effect; it may even change how you find each other. Clink it gently, then let it flicker in the cold air, and carry that little beacon with you as the evening deepens. This is proof that wonder does not have to be loud to be felt.

THE CHILL BETWEEN THE CHAPTERS

The mountain runs on a certain momentum this week, and most likely, so do you – ski, dance, repeat, as it’s often put. Coke Studio is where you step out of that loop without leaving the atmosphere behind. Set in the main festival area, it is a cosy corner made for regrouping with friends, complete with a bar, a place to sit, and a soft landing between plans. Come in to warm your hands, catch your breath, and sip on your favourite Coke drinks before everyone is off to different stages again. The Studio is a calm pocket in the middle of a busy week, and sometimes that is the smartest move you can make.

A TALE

FOR PEOPLE OF TOMORROW

Every festival has its little helpers, and this one comes with a futuristic twist. KuCoin flows through Tomorrowland Winter like a stream of bright energy particles, popping up when you need direction, info, or a fun new moment to film. Say hi to the KuCoin Guardians, the roaming guides in green who wander the village and festival area, ready for a photo, a quick explanation, or a friendly nudge toward KuCoin’s world. Want to go deeper? Head to the Base Point in the main festival area and step into a glowing particle scene for a video moment that looks like you’ve walked straight into Tomorrow. During the day, KuCoin Mountain Sessions light up the area next to Frozen Lotus with a chill bar corner and DJ booth, perfect for a sunny terrace break. And a small tip: keep an eye out for their QR codes around the terrain to unlock new experiences and rewards.

YOUR WINTER COMPASS

You’re here, traveller, in the heart of the French mountains, with snow under your boots and music already calling your name. A week like this tends to move fast, so these pages are your quick go-to for the essentials: how to get around Alpe d’Huez, when the stages open, where to find help, and everything in between. Skim it now, save it for later, and keep the Tomorrowland Winter Festival App close for real-time updates. And then it’s back to the good part: your first tracks in the crisp alpine air, making new friends on the lifts, and nights that glow a little longer than you may have planned!

SUNSHINE UNCORKED

NEW RELEASE ALERT

Tomorrowland Music moves with the festival in subtle ways this week, sometimes through a track that was written here, sometimes through a release that lands at exactly the right moment. One of those moments comes on Wednesday 25 March, when Malaa and Morten are set to begin their Mainstage b2b with their new single ‘Shock the System’. As the track plays out across Alpe d’Huez for the first time, it will also drop on streaming platforms, linking the live experience to the release in one shared instant. After that, the schedule will keep unfolding with new music from across the wider Tomorrowland orbit, including Betical’s ‘Track of Time’, a product of last year’s Tomorrowland Music Winter writing camp, alongside fresh releases from Novah, Agents Of Time, Miss Monique, and Sam Feldt with Justin Jesso. So… you know where to check for the latest drops before you head out onto the pistes!

Solo Vida has always been a slightly unexpected pleasure in a winter setting, and that is exactly why it works so well here. Tomorrowland’s sparkling wine, created together with Vallformosa, was built with celebration in mind, but never in a loud, showy way. It is the kind of bottle that turns a well-deserved break into a moment, and a drink into a small ritual of unity. There is a story in it too: five years of development to create the blend and the bottle, at least eighteen months of ageing in the cellar, vineyards sitting 500 metres above sea level, and two versions that complement each other neatly, Reserva and Rosé Reserva. With snowy peaks outside, the bubbles in the glass suddenly make winter feel lighter on its feet. It is less about escaping the season than adding a little pizzazz to it. Care to discover more? You can order your glass at all Tomorrowland venues down in the main area as well as on the mountains, and a special Solo Vida experience is to be found at Sporting in Alpe d’Huez. Looking to order a bottle and bring the magic home? Visit www.solovida.com.

ACTIONS POURED

A PROMISE FOR TOMORROW

During this week in which it’s all about being present in the now, MSD nudges the story toward what comes next. MSD is a name you’d normally encounter in hospitals, labs, and vaccinations, working in the world of health and prevention – but here it shows up in a way that fits the mountain’s energy. You might run into a Vox Pop question on your way to the music. Follow that thread and you will find a softer space where headphones wait and voices take over, as DJs and ambassadors share the moments that changed how they look after themselves. And then there is the Promise Wall. Choose a prompt, write your line, and leave something behind for Future You. It can be light, serious, personal, or simply practical! All this ties in to Celebrate Prevention, MSD’s way of shining a light on HPV-related cancer prevention, without pulling you out of the festival mood. Because protecting yourself is, in the end, a way of protecting your Tomorrows too.

Acta Non Verba is not trying to win you over with noise. That much is clear from the name alone. Tomorrowland’s bespoke Australian wine collection, grown in the misty Adelaide Hills, leans into craftsmanship, patience, and the idea that quality should speak before marketing ever gets a chance. The wines are made by hand and shaped by a cool-climate region known for elegance as much as intensity, which suits the collection well. Right now, that world includes a 2021 Shiraz, a 2022 Chardonnay, and a 2023 Shiraz Rosé, each limited in release and rooted in the same steep, fog-touched landscape. It gives the whole project a kind of confidence that is not flashy, never overly polished, just well-considered. And in a festival universe full of spectacle, that restraint actually stands out. Discover Acta Non Verba at the Papillon area or Brasa restaurant at the festival. You can also order the bottles at home via www.actanonverbawines.com.

SUIT UP FOR THE SLOPES

Arriving at Tomorrowland Winter feels a lot like switching modes. You’re here to chase first tracks and late-night sets, and you have to make it all fit into the same day somehow. So it’s ski boots by morning, festival outfits by night, and in between, there’s the practical stuff: an extra layer when the temperature drops, something comfortable for the walk through town, a keepsake that won’t disappear into a drawer once you’re home.

That’s where the Tomorrowland Store comes in. Over the years, it’s grown into a year-round part of the story, shaped by the same attention to detail you will see on the festival grounds. And this week, it’s right here in Alpe d’Huez again, with a mix of Winter essentials, festival exclusives, and the new Winter 2026 pieces –so you can carry the feeling of this place with you, wherever you call home.

TOMORROWLAND, ALL YEAR LONG

If Tomorrowland used to be a moment on the calendar, it’s increasingly something people keep close throughout the year, and the Tomorrowland Store reflects that. Yes, you’ll find festival drops and seasonal collections, but also a broader range that fits the 365 universe: items items linked to themes within the different Tomorrowland worlds and collaborations that live on beyond one week in March.

In the on-site Store, that always-on feeling becomes extra tangible. You’re in the middle of a ski resort, yet Tomorrowland is suddenly part of the streetscape. You won’t just find your favourite items in the main festival area: you’ll see them in cafés, in lift queues, and on the walk back through the village.

SPREAD UNITY WITH THE BUTTERFLY CAPE

By now, you will have probably met the Butterfly Cape. Every festival visitor received one in their Treasure Case, and that’s exactly the point. This week, we are all united by one shared piece that makes the mountain truly feel like Tomorrowland Winter the moment you step outside. And if you want an extra one, you’ll also find them for sale at the Tomorrowland Store. So take it with you when you head out, throw it on before you hop on the lift, then let it catch the wind on your last run down. Right now, thousands of People of Tomorrow are spread across Alpe d’Huez, moving as one, connected by the same colourways, and following a rhythm that carries us through this magical week in the mountains and beyond..

BRING THE MAGIC HOME

While some memories end up framed on a wall, others end up stitched into your daily life – literally. The Tomorrowland Winter 2026 badge is an exclusive iron-on patch that you can pick up at the Tomorrowland Store on the festival grounds. It’s made for those pieces that follow you everywhere, like your ski jacket, your favourite hoodie, a tote bag that’s seen (too) many trips, or the backpack that always makes it into the cabin. For best results, use it on an item that’s 100% cotton. Simply add heat, press it on, and you’ve turned an ordinary item into a marker of ‘I was there’.

SHOPPING TOMORROWLAND IN ALPE D’HUEZ

Your journey to securing these exclusive pieces starts at the Official Tomorrowland Store in Alpe d’Huez. But what’s especially unique this week: Tomorrowland isn’t staying within its own walls. A selection of Tomorrowland items is also available through a small network of local retailers across Alpe d’Huez.

RETAILERS CARRYING TOMORROWLAND ITEMS:

• La Folie Douce, Quai des Restaurateurs (La Folie Douce), Avenue du Rif Nel

STAY HYDRATED

There are moments every day when your body politely asks for a favour… especially after you have danced like it’s your last day on planet Earth. That is where Drink More Water comes in, an initiative encouraging festivalgoers to stay hydrated and enjoy the mountains responsibly. Look out for the mobile crew at Folie Douce and around the main festival area, moving through the crowd with co-branded water cans and a friendly reminder you will thank them for come tomorrow morning. Grab one, take a few big gulps, and carry on with your mission. Staying hydrated helps you keep your balance, your energy, and your memories of an unforgettable day on the mountain. Spot the teams in the afternoon or later at night, accept the refreshment, and keep the celebration going while taking care of yourself and your friends!

FROM PAGE TO STAGE

Chances are you’ve already stepped into Orbyz this week, up at Chantebise, where the Snow Lion watches over Winter’s brand-new mountain stage. But this highaltitude dancefloor is only one chapter in the Orbyz saga. Not the first, nor the last – it is merely the doorway. The Odes of Orbyz is Tomorrowland’s fantasy book that reveals the true origin story behind this icy realm, set in a hidden city run by ancient orders, with a restless spark of light buried deep beneath the snow. Read a few pages, and the details around you start to click, as if the mountain is quietly whispering the same tale. Prefer pictures over paragraphs? Tomorrowland’s firstever Orbyz comic brings the story to life in bold panels, created by an international team of artists. Find both at the Official Store at Tomorrowland Winter or online at store.tomorrowland.com.

LOOP

EARPLUGS

Keep your ears safe while enjoying every beat at Tomorrowland Winter with Loop x Tomorrowland Earplugs. This year, choose between the limited-edition Holographic Black or Ruby Red designs, exclusively available for the People of Tomorrow. Find the Loop team roaming the wider mountains, or find the Official Store or Loop Experience in the main festival area to browse different styles of earplugs at your leisure. Never miss a chance to upgrade your festival experience, and hit that perfect volume while protecting your ears for years to come with Loop!

ABBEY ON THE MOUNTAIN

Belgium has a talent for making a cold day feel warmer. Lucky for you, the Belgian Beer Bar returns to the main festival area with Leffe on tap, pouring a taste that feels like home, even when you are far away from it. Brewed with craft, shaped by tradition, and shared as a ritual that has outlived trends for a reason, Leffe carries a Belgian heritage of bringing people together when it matters most. A beer stemming from the ‘abbey’ tradition, Leffe was invented by monks and is still brewed to be poured with care, meant to be enjoyed slowly. At the Belgian Beer Bar, things are much the same: while outside, the festival keeps racing, in here, it can wait. So when you need a reset between rounds, you know where to go.

FROM BEDROOM TO BOOTH

Belgian DJ Portex didn’t wake up one day with a Tomorrowland crowd in front of him. He started small (like most do), built his sound step by step, and sharpened his skills through the Tomorrowland Academy. Last summer, he made his Atmosphere debut at Tomorrowland Belgium, before teaming up with Amber Broos on their track ‘Scandalous’. Not a bad year for someone who once only had a bedroom as a booth.

Lucky for you, that first step is closer than you think. The Tomorrowland Academy is back at Tomorrowland Winter with Startto-DJ workshops at the Cage. In two hours, official teachers walk you through the essentials, including mixing, effects, loop modes, and show you what it feels like to swap your spot in the crowd for one behind the decks. Tickets are available in the Add-On Sale until they’re gone.

And if you feel like going all in: the Academy DJ contest winner earns a real slot at Reflection of Love on Saturday 21 March, 12:00–14:00. Will you be up there next?

THE RHYTHM OF POSSIBILITY

INSIDE THE TOMORROWLAND FOUNDATION’S GLOBAL WORK

The first time a child picks up an instrument, moves to a rhythm, or sketches a thought, it isn’t really about skill yet. Right there, in that moment, it’s about helping to create an environment that says: go on, have a try. The Tomorrowland Foundation exists for those moments, especially in communities where space and support for creative freedom are far from guaranteed. Together with local organisations, the Foundation helps build and support Music & Arts Schools and community projects around the world, where creativity becomes part of everyday life rather than a rare privilege. The work is long-term, shaped through trust, teachers, and time. This year, that story continues in familiar places, even as a few new steps are being taken too.

A QUIET START, A LONG ROAD

In 2018, the Foundation opened its first Music & Arts School in Sekha, Nepal, together with Cunina. In a remote mountain area where access to education can be fragile, the school became a steady point on the map. Children can learn music, dance, art, and theatre alongside their regular schooling, and for many it is the first time creativity is treated as something worth practising.

In Kolkata, India, a partnership with Ek Tara has shaped a whole new creative floor inside the school. Dance classes share the same corridors with theatre, visual arts, and music, and the rooftop was redesigned into an open-air atrium for performances. Since the start of this year, the space has expanded again with a new DJ room and professional gear, inviting students to take their first steps behind the decks, at their own pace. Artists have visited too, not as a headline, but as guests who come to listen and encourage.

Brazil added another chapter in 2024, with the opening of the Music & Arts School in Itu, close to the hometown of Tomorrowland Brasil. It offers a similar foundation, built with local partners and rooted in the community around it.

“A safe place to explore music, dance, drama, and art can change what a child believes is possible.”

WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR

The next Music & Arts School is already taking shape in Langrug, South Africa, with a launch planned for spring 2026. More than 600 children and youngsters are expected to find a safe place there each day to explore music, dance, drama, and art. Future plans include introducing DJ lessons, adding another dimension to the school’s artistic program.

The Foundation is also starting a long-term collaboration with 4ESKUELA in Medellín, Colombia, led by Crew Peligrosos. It is a project grounded in street culture and artistic training, built to support young people through music, dance, and education from the inside out.

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT

If you would like to help, you can donate Pearls when topping up your Bracelet or when requesting a refund. You can also support through official Foundation products, including the 500-piece Foundation Puzzle inspired by the LIVE LOVE UNITE Toolkit. For updates, stories, and ways to get involved, follow the Tomorrowland Foundation online.

TOOLS THAT TRAVEL

Not every lesson needs four walls. Through the LIVE LOVE UNITE Toolkit and the Mobile School partnership, learning can unfold in youth centres, classrooms, and even on the streets, using playful exercises that help children express themselves and connect with others.

ALPINE APPETITES

The hottest food for the coldest days

Up here, your days move to a simple rhythm: ski, dance, repeat. Sounds like a dream, and quite frankly, it is! But somewhere in between, you’ll want a proper reset, and a bit to eat. Tomorrowland Winter does just that by serving comfort classics for on-the-go moments as well as a few sit-down experiences when you feel like swapping your ski goggles for a wine glass. Think sharing lunches with front-row views, local mountain flavours made from scratch, and cosy corners where the fire is always on and the conversations run for hours. So read on to see where to fuel up before the next descent, toast to the sunset, and treat your taste buds like they’re part of the line-up too.

There are few things as confidently French as oysters in the mountains. At Frozen Lotus, they arrive with refined condiments and traditional oyster bread – crisp, salty, fresh – while the Alps sit in full postcard mode in front of you. It doesn’t get more joie de vivre than this. Just a heads-up though: once you start, it’s dangerously easy to turn this into your daily little ritual. Consider yourself warned.

ORBYZ STAGE

If the Orbyz stage is your midday meeting point, Chantebise is the place to land and refuel without needing to step away from the energy outside. The idea here is simple: you keep the view, keep the line-up, keep the festival feeling, and add a proper homemade mountain lunch to all of that. Expect comfort that makes sense at 2,100 metres of altitude, including warm plates, generous flavours, and that specific Alpine serenity that takes all your worries away the moment you sit down.

LA FOLIE DOUCE FROZEN LOTUS

This is lunch for people who don’t really want lunch to end, ever. La Folie Douce serves a refined sharing meal in a setting that looks like it was designed to make you stay longer, with wide-open views, allday sunshine, and the Frozen Lotus stage waiting right next door. The flavours here lean more towards the local, but with a creative twist. And the best part is, you’ll arrive hungry, but leave satisfied – and instead of walking away, you’ll simply slide into the next part of the day.

SIGNAL

2108 REFLECTION OF LOVE

Signal 2108 is where the mountains do their best work to give you the biggest views, clean untouched air, and food that feels like it totally belongs up here. Come by for a lunch, then return later when the light drops and the village starts to glow below. This is also where classic French winter cuisine takes centre stage. Add in the Reflection of Love panorama and you’ve got a spot that’s equal parts restaurant and viewpoint, with a menu that understands exactly what you need after a long day in the snow.

SAY CHEESE

If Tomorrowland Winter had an official comfort dish, it would absolutely involve melted cheese. Signal 2108 leans all the way in with a traditional fondue dinner, which is a classic French Alps indulgence for a reason. You share one giant pot in the middle of the table, have everyone lean in, and follow the same choreography all dinner long: dip, swirl, dip again, eat. It’s nice and slow, very social, slightly chaotic, and guaranteed to satisfy your tummy.

BRASA

Looking for some grilled goodness? Just follow the smoke signals to Brasa, the kind of place you’d usually spot with your nose before you’d see it. Located in the warm pulse of the main festival area, the terrace out front is usually full of happy movement. But behind it, the chef’s tucked-away restaurant feels like stepping into a very different temperature. You trade the bustle for a heated hideout and a four-course barbecue that builds like a slow crescendo. Make your way through grilled meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes treated with equal respect, each round arriving with that perfectly charred edge. Chances are you won’t pop in for a quick bite, though. You’ll linger. Is your mouth watering yet?

SPORTING

Sporting does something a bit more rare in a ski town: it feels genuinely luxurious, without ever crossing the line into too much posh. Right in the heart of Alpe d’Huez, it’s a place that looks sharp, runs smooth, and still welcomes you exactly as you are. Get comfy on the terrace and you’ll see why people treat this as a proper plan, not so much as a last-minute option. But the real joy hits once the plates arrive. We’re talking lobster with that clean, grilled sweetness and steak with the kind of depth you only get from proper heat and good timing. It’s a headlining pair for a reason. So if your week needs one moment of full-on indulgence, this may very well be it.

Fuel up before the next descent, toast to the sunset, and treat your taste buds like they’re part of the line-up too!

PAPILLON 1860 & SOLO VIDA

If your night is ready for a bit of a plot twist, follow the butterfly to Papillon 1860, right next to the entrance of the Cage stage. This is where expert mixologists turn cocktails into a live experience where flavours are built right in front of you, little surprises happen along the way, and an atmosphere is created that’s not just a tasting, but a show unto itself.

Once you’re in that mood, a toast is never far away. Good thing Tomorrowland’s very own sparkling wine, Solo Vida, is poured here too. Created with Spanish winery Vallformosa and crafted at altitude through a proudly manual process –from harvest to label – it comes in two editions: Reserva and Rosé Reserva. Tomorrowland’s Acta Non Verba wines are also available, and if you’re hungry, why not go for one of those delicious pinsa bar bites?

TOMORROWLAND IN THAILAND

Thailand, a country of incredible natural beauty, really needed its own version of Tomorrowland. Imagine any Mainstage from the past few years in Thailand’s lush surroundings and it makes total sense. The People of Tomorrow couldn’t agree more, seeing that tickets sold out within the hour. Pattaya’s 237-acre Wisdom Valley (doesn’t that sound very Tomorrowland?) will be the home of the festival, which will feature the iconic CORE and Freedom stages as well as lots of new stages and experiences, designed and crafted exclusively for Thailand. Those lucky enough to own a ticket will share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with no less than 50,000 like-minded souls per day across three days.

COME TO CONSCIENCIA

The original Holy Grounds are situated in a legendary location, conveniently tucked away between Belgium’s largest cities Brussels and Antwerp. But once you go there and enter the brandnew world of Consciencia, you’ll forget all about where you physically are, as this is when the magic takes over. As always, Tomorrowland Belgium is where cutting-edge sounds are blended with timeless electronic classics and where global stars mingle with rising young talent. Above all, these Holy Grounds are where the spirit of Live, Love, Unite originates. Tomorrowland Belgium’s line-up, top-notch as ever, will include Calvin Harris – a mind-blowingly rare performance if ever we’ve seen one!

CORE GOES USA

CORE, Tomorrowland’s mythical realm driven by leftfield house music, refined soundscapes, and cutting-edge visuals, is travelling to Los Angeles for the first time in history. On Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3 of this year, Tomorrowland joins hands with global dance music experience curator Insomniac, following their collaboration on the UNITY project at the Sphere, Las Vegas. The lineup in Los Angeles is as versatile as you would expect from a music brand that is known for its diverse curations, featuring Four Tet, Honey Dijon, Nina Kraviz, Eric Prydz, Artbat, Kevin de Vries, and many more. Check out core.world for more information and tickets.

CARE FOR THE PEAKS

The Alps don’t ask for much this week, just a bit of care in return for all this beauty. Love Tomorrow, Tomorrowland’s sustainability initiative, helps keep that feeling intact, with concrete steps that reduce Tomorrowland Winter’s impact and protect the place that welcomes us each year. You’ll spot their contribution in small systems that add up: reusable RFID cups are back, and reusable plates are joining the same smart return setup this year. Waste sorting has been scaled up too, with more recycling points, teams, and ashtrays helping keep the snow pristine. Behind the scenes, the festival has moved away from traditional fossil fuels for on-site energy, while smart water meters and compostable toilets help reduce water use in the mountain area. Need a reset? Head over to the Recharge Hub and step into a quiet environment shaped by light therapy, gentle soundscapes, and grounding scents. A limited number of slots are still available to book in the Add-On Sale. Want the bigger picture? Projects and targets are waiting on the Love Tomorrow website at lovetomorrow.com.

SUMMER TUNES, IBIZA NIGHTS

A visit to Ibiza isn’t complete without seeing two of Tomorrowland’s most familiar faces. Belgian-Greek brothers Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are back on the White Isle this summer for a brand new season of hostings at Ushuaïa. Their residency, covering every Wednesday between May 6th and September 30th, takes audiences back into the fascinating underwater world of Planaxis, one of the most beloved themes in Tomorrowland’s history. During these Wednesday nights, monumental stage design, mesmerising visuals, and incredible music come together in a unique way, reminiscent of the festival that lies ahead of you here in Alpe d’Huez. Confirmed artists for this season include Alok, Bassjackers, Netsky, Oliver Heldens, Robin Schulz, Steve Aoki, Timmy Trumpet, and many more.

Experience the signature Tomorrowland fragrance that has been part of the Tomorrowland story since 2016.

Crafted from natural inspirations and refined over years, this unique scent brings the world of the Elixir of Life into your everyday.

BACK TO BRAZIL

Over 180,000 people celebrated the theme ‘LIFE’ at São Paulo’s Parque Maeda last October. It was the fifth edition of Tomorrowland Brasil, presenting a real milestone for the electronic music community in Latin America’s largest country, and this was celebrated with David Guetta’s long-awaited second visit to the festival and the addition of two spectacular new stages: Crystal Garden and Morpho. The event is scheduled to return to the now legendary grounds in the Itu district from April 30th to May 2nd, 2027. Anyone wishing to experience Tomorrowland Brasil should mark their calendars for April 30th of this year, when pre-registration for the event will open.

FRONT-ROW SEATS

Somewhere out there, someone is refreshing their feed, hoping to catch a glimpse of what you’re living right now. Lucky for them (and kind of iconic for you), Tomorrowland Winter is going live again, turning Alpe d’Huez into a worldwide watch party. It all kicks off on Tuesday at 20:15 CET with a live Mainstage broadcast. From Wednesday to Friday, tune in from 19:40 CET for a feel-good mountain stages recap, before we slide straight into another live Mainstage stream from 20:10 CET. Expect big sets wrapped in snowy scenery, shared across more channels than ever, and reaching even more People of Tomorrow around the globe. So tell your friends to tune in and dress accordingly. And just when you think it’s time to pack up the memories, the afterglow is set to continue: on-demand sets from other stages will start dropping online the week after Tomorrowland Winter.

FISHING FOR LUCK

At Pic Blanc, where the air is thin and the views are unreal, don’t be surprised when someone suddenly hands you a lemon this week. No, you are not hallucinating with vertigo: Flying Fish is actually turning the mountaintop into a playful little side quest, one where you can catch lemons and hope for the best. Catch one and you will have earned a beer down on the festival grounds later. Missed it? Don’t worry, just take another shot, and enjoy the slightly out-there experience in the snow. Performers and crew will be roaming around with a bright mobile stand, pulling you into the game. It runs through the week, so there’s plenty of time to secure your celebratory beverage. Keep an eye out at Pic Blanc and follow the cheers.

WHEN ANTHEMS LEARN TO BREATHE

Symphony of Unity has been turning dance music into something more orchestral, cinematic, and goosebumpinducing since 2015. Now, the project is stepping into a new phase. Its first full album is set for April 2026 and promises a curated run of crowd favourites that have lived and evolved on stage in various performances over the years. That alone makes it worth watching out for, and the road toward that album is already open. ‘Years’, the new symphonic rework of Alesso’s anthem, is out now and gives a strong sense of what this orchestra does so well: it doesn’t simply replay these tracks, it lets them breathe differently. That matters in the Tomorrowland universe, where memory and emotion do a lot of the heavy lifting. With earlier releases like ‘Reload’ and ‘Insomnia’ already out, the album is shaping up like a proper archive of a musical initiative that has clearly grown far beyond the live show.

DRINKS

WE CARE A LOT

Tomorrowland Winter’s magic thrives only when everyone feels safe and comfortable, free from discrimination or harassment. To that end, friendly First Aid staff are visible on site and available at several stations across the slopes and in the village. They are there to help, not judge, and specialised staff including psychologists are always present should you need help with any issues.

In the best Live, Love, Unite tradition, take care of yourself and your friends: wear weatherproof clothes and sunscreen, take a well deserved break when needed, and above all, stay hydrated throughout the day! To facilitate the latter, Drink More Water activations are available throughout the grounds.

For safety enhancement, breathalyzer stations can be found at various locations across Tomorrowland Winter. You can check your blood alcohol level for free anytime throughout opening hours. Please care for each other by not hitting the slopes under the influence!

Tomorrowland’s magic is always drug free, and any form of illegal drug use or trafficking is strictly forbidden, in accordance with French law. Violations may result in a fine and removal from the Tomorrowland Winter. Always remember: Tomorrowland promotes responsible choices and its people are always available for support.

FOCUS ON THE MUSIC

Life is like a jungle sometimes, especially when it comes to music. What’s what and who’s who? Worry not, as over the course of the upcoming pages, we’re guiding you through this edition’s musical programming with timetables, interviews, bios, and an exclusive special about all of the stages of this year’s Winter wonderland. Read on, and jump onto the dancefloor well-prepared later!

ORBYZ | TUESDAY, MAR 24 16:30 - 17:30

MAINSTAGE | WEDNESDAY, MAR 25 23:20 - 00:20

LOST FREQUENCIES

EVERY SHOW IS A TREAT

SO MUCH BEAUTY AROUND US

Belgian DJ/producer Felix de Laet aka Lost Frequencies keeps on adding new gems to his already monumental discography. Last year’s ‘Listen to Me Now’ has been on high rotation on global dancefloors, while the currently unreleased ‘So Much Beauty Around Us’ will undoubtedly grow to become just as big a hit. Every sound, key or kick represents a creative thought coming out of this creative mastermind. The lucky People of Tomorrow present at Alpe d’Huez – that’s you! – are in for a treat, as the boy wonder of melodic harmonies will perform two sets this week: one in the mountains at Orbyz and another one down in the village, at the mythical Mainstage. Here’s how he feels about all that.

One of the great things about Tomorrowland Winter is that fans get to see some of their favourite artists twice. You’ll be playing a set at Orbyz on Tuesday and another one at the Mainstage, Felix. Why should people definitely see you at Orbyz and what are your plans for your Mainstage performance?

“I usually try to play different sets whenever I do more than one performance at Tomorrowland. So I will save some of my own productions for Orbyz and others for the Mainstage, and I will of course throw some of my favourite works by others into the mix. The atmosphere at Orbyz will be unique, with the fresh air, snow, views and hopefully also sun. The Mainstage set will have a completely different energy, so I can go a bit harder and darker. But everything also depends on the crowd. So if you come with energy, I’m going to play an energetic set, and if you come to chill and relax, I might also be more relaxed.”

Can you give us a sneak peek into the new music that you’ll be playing?

“I have a new track called ‘So Much Beauty Around Us’ that I’ve already tested a few times. I’m really excited to play it at Tomorrowland, as it really fits the mountain atmosphere. I think I’ll make an alternative version for the Mainstage because I think it needs a bit more of a push for that vibe. I also have other new tracks, but I still need to check with my label if I can play them! My Tomorrowland shows are livestreamed, so I can only play music

that is in the final stages of production. If a version is too far apart from the end product, people who go looking for full versions of tracks they liked in my sets will not be able to find what they want, and that’s something we want to prevent.”

The Mainstage is incredible from an audience perspective, and surely also when seen from the booth. But is it also daunting: do you still get nervous performing at such large venues?

“It’s been almost ten years now that I’ve been playing these big stages, and I’m trying to just be super excited to be there. I know the crew, so it’s always a pleasure to reconnect with them. Setwise, I always play some tracks that take me out of my comfort zone. When you play a big stage, it’s hard to judge if people are really feeling the music. Generally speaking, the sound people are used to these days is quite forceful and fast and it’s tempting to try and match that, but in hindsight, I sometimes wish I’d gone for lower frequencies that are more melodic and carry more emotion.”

You mentioned you’ll play some tracks by others during your sets. What are some of the ones you’re most excited about?

“I’m currently loving a track by Kölsch called ‘Environ’. Tone-wise, it fits nicely into my sets. It’s quite melodic, but darker than most of my output. It just works in between some of my songs that are quite vocal-heavy. I appreciate the tension that comes with it as well. Another one is a song called

“The atmosphere at Orbyz will be unique, with the fresh air, hopefully also sun.”

‘Mesto’ by Dutch producer Caramelle. I love how he’s moved from his former happy house vibe to these more serious beats. It’s also really well produced.”

Spring is fast approaching. But we have one last week to enjoy the snow, here at Tomorrowland Winter! What exactly will you be doing snow-wise?

“It’ll be a little holiday break for me as I’ll be skiing all week long, with my family and some friends!”

People often have favourite music to listen to in the car. Do you have favourite music to accompany your downhill efforts?

“I used to be that guy carrying a speaker in my backpack while going down the mountain, but not so much these days. But what’s great at Tomorrowland Winter is you might be in the queue and someone’s locked in to One World Radio, or you come across some guy on the slopes playing his favourites. I’m super happy to just listen to what other people play across the slopes.”

You made ‘Listen to Me Now’ with Belgian producer CIEL and French producer Radio Cargo. What was it like to work on that track with these two cocreators?

“I’ve known CIEL for about ten years now, since he did a remix for me in 2018. He’s been sending me lots of tracks over the years. Last year, he sent me a demo for ‘Listen To Me Now’. I downloaded a bunch of tracks before taking off to Tomorrowland Brasil – an example of me playing tracks that are out of my comfort zone, coincidentally. CIEL didn’t add any credits to his version of the track, so I didn’t know it was him when I felt that I liked the song. I loved the piano sound, but not so much the arrangement, so I changed it and played it in my set. CIEL then messaged me, excited that I played his track. I told him that after a few changes, the song had the potential to become a real banger. So he asked me if I wanted to do it with him and we did. And Radio Cargo sampled the vocal. That’s how the collaboration came into place.”

So how did doing this track take you out of your comfort zone?

“This is a 140 BPM track, whereas my music usually coasts at a 128 BPM pace. But I loved how the powerful vocal and the piano were coming in and it was melodic enough for me to play. I often receive demos that are too dark and clubby, but this one felt just right.”

So matching tempos is not as simple as just pitching things up or down?

“When the BPM gaps are this big and you slow things down or speed them up, you start to really hear it. Basslines might even start to sound weirdly glitchy when you do this. Besides that, I often mix tunes in key, which is why I like to stick to the original BPM.”

What will 2026 look like for you, release-wise?

“I have a lot of new music and I really want to get it out, because it enables me to refresh my sets. When you release a track, it often takes a long time to gain traction and you don’t want to simultaneously release songs that compete with one another. ‘Where Are You Now’, for example, took almost one year to become a hit. When you’ve got a really big tune, it will only start resonating with crowds after its official release, because that’s when people start recognising it. This is when tunes become anthems. So releasing lots of music at once is more complicated than it seems. Still, I do aim to release a new album at some point this year!”

“I used to be that guy carrying a speaker in my backpack while skiing. Nowadays, I’m super happy to just listen to what other people play across the slopes.”

ALTITUDE WITH ATTITUDE

Alpe d’Huez has a funny way of changing your sense of scale. One minute you’re carving down a piste, the next you’re stepping into a full-on festival world where the bass bounces off gorgeous snowy peaks. Tomorrowland Winter is built for explorers in that way. You can chase the sun to a terrace set, follow a lift up to a viewpoint dancefloor, then drop back down for a cosy night inside. And the best part is how close it all feels. Stages are spread across the village and the mountains, but they connect like chapters in the same story: easy to reach, yet impossible to fully predict. This week, you’ll find brand-new creations, familiar favourites, and a few places that will only reveal themselves once you’ve found them. Consider this your sneak peek. The rest, you’ll discover on the slopes.

MAIN FESTIVAL AREA MAINSTAGE

The Mainstage is brand-new this year, and yes, it’s still fully indoors. Think of it as your warm, glowing final stop after a day outside. The doors open, and suddenly you’re in a different climate: one with big sound, big lights, and big energy. Tomorrowland’s creative team designed it in true festival fashion, with details meant to be noticed between drops. Even if you’ve never seen it before, it will feel familiar in the best way, like stepping into a place that knows how to host a proper night out. So get in, look up, and let the mountain cold melt right off your shoulders.

NEW LITTLE PARTIES

This year, the slopes are still full of surprises, all coming in new shapes. Keep an eye out for KuCoin’s Mountain Sessions at La Folie Douce: a chill zone with a bar and DJ booth, built for those moments when you want to reset without fully pressing pause. Then there’s LOOP, turning ear protection into a flex. Their Inner Circle sunset party is the reward for people who know that protecting your ears is not a compromise, but an upgrade. Grab a pair, and you might find yourself exactly where the sky turns gold and the music hits perfectly. And finally, Sunweb is bringing the most unexpected setting of the week: a nightly party inside a church. Yes, really. Entry is only for the ones who can crack their scavenger hunt. So stay sharp, follow the clues, and trust your instincts, as some doors only open for the curious.

CAGE

Cage is the underground heartbeat of the week. Featuring low lights, close crowds, and a mood that says: best keep your phone down, and your focus up. It’s the kind of room where a single kick drum can feel like it’s rearranging your skeleton as well as your brain. Expect tight sets, sharp turns, and that sweet feeling of being completely locked in with strangers who, by then, will have already turned into friends. And on the final day, the Atmosphere concept takes over the Cage, bringing a slightly different flavour at the same high intensity. If you like your nights a little darker and your music a little braver, you know where to go.

MAIN FESTIVAL AREA

CORE

CORE returns to the Alps, carrying that unmistakable travelling ritual energy with it. This stage has been busy lately, too. After hosting its own festival in Medellín in February, it’s heading to Los Angeles in May and Melbourne in November, making 2026 its biggest year yet. But right now, it’s here, tucked into the mountains, ready to pull you into its world of connoisseur’s house and techno. CORE always feels a bit like a gathering. Hypnotic visuals, curated line-ups, and that moment when you realise you’ve been dancing for ages and somehow want more. If you’re chasing depth, this is your stop.

MAIN FESTIVAL AREA MOOSE BAR

The Moose Bar is still the loudest living room in the Alps, and this year you’ll get extra time to enjoy it. There’s Moose Bar by Day from 15:00 CET, and Moose Bar by Night starting at 19:00 CET. Two episodes, but with a very similar mission: to turn après-ski into an Olympic sport. Expect Tyrolean vibes, big singalong moments, guilty pleasures to belt along to wholeheartedly, and sudden genre swerves that somehow work every single time. You might arrive just for one song. You might leave with a new best friend and a voice that’s gone. Let’s just say it’s worth it either way!

A GUIDED TOUR OF WINTER’S DANCEFLOORS

CHANTEBISE 2100

ORBYZ

A new landmark is born at Chantebise 2100. Orbyz arrives where Amare once watched over the mountains, and it comes with its own story carved from ice and rock. Picture a world from the Far North, hidden for ages beneath eternal frost. At the heart of it lies Nymbuz, an ancient city powered by mysterious red crystals, pulsing with energy like a secret engine under the snow. Orbyz pulls that legend into real life through towering scenography, glowing lightwork, and a sound that feels deep and enveloping. It’s a fresh chapter for Tomorrowland Winter, written high above the valley with the peaks as its backdrop. How fitting!

LOTUS

Frozen Lotus is where the mountain party turns into pure, sunny chaos. Set at La Folie Douce, it has that instant “we’re doing this” atmosphere the moment you enter. People pile in, with fresh snow still on their boots, trading ski goggles for sunnies. But the true magic is how close it feels. The artists play right in front of you, and the crowd answers back immediately. There’s no distance to separate people from one another, and definitely no fuss – just a shared energy. It’s loud, bright, and unbelievably unifying. You come for a set and end up staying for the whole storyline: just the way it’s supposed to be.

SIGNAL 2108

REFLECTION OF LOVE

Reflection of Love is the scenic overload stage. You might arrive for the music and instantly get distracted by the view, because Signal 2108 is basically a postcard that happens to have a dancefloor. Up here, the panorama becomes part of the set. First you dance, then you pause and stare at the horizon like you’re in a film, then you dance again. The light shifts throughout the day, and the atmosphere shifts with it. Bright midday energy will turn into golden-hour magic, and every visit seems to attach itself to a specific memory. Don’t be surprised if your camera roll has suddenly doubled in size afterwards!

MAIN FESTIVAL AREA

LA FOLIE DOUCE FROZEN

ONE WORLD RADIO

Some things at Tomorrowland Winter are impossible to catch with just your own two eyes and ears. A surprise b2b you’ll only hear about afterwards, a new ID that’s slipped into a set only to stick in everyone’s head ‘till next morning, or a tiny story behind a track that makes it hit even harder the second time around... those moments are exactly what One World Radio is for this week. Tomorrowland’s radio station is broadcasting straight from Alpe d’Huez, stitching together the pieces you might otherwise miss. From Tuesday to Friday, the station goes live with hosts AdamK and Camille Pollie, two very familiar voices indeed. Their offerings? Live coverage, artist chats, quick updates, and a non-stop soundtrack that keeps the festival feeling like your closest friend.

WHAT YOU’LL HEAR THIS WEEK

Tomorrowland Winter has a ton of things happening at the same time, and One World Radio reflects that. Expect guests from all genres and all stages, often several artists per hour, dropping by the studio between their sets. Sometimes they just say a quick hello, but more often than that, you’ll get an unexpected deep dive into what is coming next. And when the live days wrap up, the fun doesn’t stop: from Saturday through to Monday, One World Radio keeps the afterglow going by broadcasting the best sets, back-to-back, so you can relive the best of Tomorrowland Winter all the way home.

NEXT UP: TOMORROWLAND TOP 1000

Every year, One World Radio invites the People of Tomorrow to vote for the Tomorrowland Top 1000: the biggest anthems in Tomorrowland history, chosen by the community. Voting closes the week after the festival, and the countdown starts the week after that. Cast your vote and back the tracks that instantly take you back to a moment. As Camille Pollie puts it: “Music is emotion. If a track outlives its year, it belongs in the Top 1000.”

RAPID FIRE WITH CAMILLE

One of the broadcasters this year is Camille Pollie. We caught her for a few quick questions to get you in the Winter mindset.

You’ve been at Tomorrowland Winter before. What keeps it feeling new each time?

“It always feels new, like going on a school trip to a place you know well, but you never know what will happen. Every edition is different – the weather, the line-up, and the stories people bring in. Even for my sixth edition, I still feel the butterflies.”

What are you hoping to catch this week, being so close to the artists all the time?

“Tomorrowland Winter is unique because many artists stay longer. They share an evening, breakfast, or a coffee together, and that’s how collaborations happen. Dino Lenny told us last year he talked to Mind Against, loved their vibe, and the same day they created a track. I think it even ended up in his set later that night. That’s the kind of magic I’m hoping to bump into again.”

“If a track outlives its year, it belongs in the Top 1000.”

Camille Pollie

Your own show on OWR is called ‘Around the World’. What do you want to bring ‘around the world’ from the slopes?

“The People of Tomorrow are in the spotlight in my show. Some people get proposed to. Some hear a track that reminds them of a best friend they lost, and some have been creating their outfits for months. I want to hear those stories and share them with the community around the world.”

If you could broadcast one Winter moment to every time zone at once, which one would it be?

“The reveal of the Tomorrowland Winter Mainstage. Nothing tops that anticipation. Goosebumps, always!”

TUNE IN RIGHT NOW!

One World Radio is available 24/7 via the Tomorrowland App, Tomorrowland.com, YouTube, and DAB+.

FRENCH FREQUENCIES

Alpe d’Huez may be high up in the skies, but it is still on French soil, and so it only makes sense for the local ‘crème de la crème’ to show up loud. The Alps are the stage, and some of France’s finest have the controls this week. These eight homegrown names will bring every shade of energy: Space 92’s turbo-techno, Malaa’s Alter Ego in fully masked mode, and Ofenbach with the kind of hooks that turn the whole crowd into a choir. Add Dombresky’s sunshine house, Oden & Fatzo building it live, AWEN’s Afro house warmth, Bérou’s ravey bounce, and RONI’s high-BPM edge, and you end up with a very varied palette. From these pages, pick your stand-out moment, and let France set the pace!

THE FINEST SOUNDS FROM LA DOUCE FRANCE

SPACE 92

If you like your techno with a rocket boost, Space 92 is your jam. The French producer is known for peak-time driving tracks that blend trancey rush, distorted drums and just enough acid to keep things sharp. There is also a very specific flavour to his sound: a love for vintage ‘80s sci-fi that sneaks into those big, futuristic riffs. With releases on heavy labels like Drumcode and Filth on Acid, his sets tend to feel like one long lift ride to the summit, only faster.

FRIDAY | 16:00 - 17:30 | REFLECTION OF LOVE

MALAA’S ALTER EGO

Malaa has always played the mystery card, but now a second character has come into his story. Enter Malaa’s Alter Ego: a new alias built around creative duality and a bit of chaos. The concept landed with a two-album drop, All In and Blackout, framed as a clash of styles between the familiar dark house lane and a wilder lurch into new territory. Expect a set with sharp turns, big pressure, and that masked confidence dialled all the way up.

TUESDAY | 23:30 - 00:30 | CAGE

OFENBACH

Ofenbach are the kind of duo that can turn any sing-along moment into a dancefloor weapon. Paris-based friends Dorian Lauduique and César de Rummel have been stacking global hits since 2014, with tracks like ‘Be Mine’ and ‘Katchi’ making serious rounds across radio and festivals. Their signature sits in that sweet spot between pop hooks and club punch, so you can dance without needing a genre guide. Perfect for raised hands, loud voices, and a crowd that moves as one.

SUNDAY | 15:30 - 17:00 | FROZEN LOTUS

THURSDAY | 21:15 - 22:15 | MAINSTAGE

DOMBRESKY

Dombresky brings sunshine in his suitcase. Raised in the south of France and known for feelgood four-to-the-floor house, he blends disco sparkle, funk swing, and modern club drive into sets that never feel heavy, even when they hit hard. He burst onto the international radar in 2016 after moving to Miami, and he has kept that open-air energy going ever since. Think big smiles, crisp grooves, and the kind of drops that make you totally forget the cold.

WEDNESDAY | 20:10 - 21:10 | MAINSTAGE

ODEN & FATZO (LIVE)

Some artists just press play, but Oden & Fatzo build it live. The French trio have become a Paris underground favourite thanks to dynamic livesets that jump between house, minimal, breakbeat, and UK garage, often with a playful, sunlit vibe. You might recognise their astronaut looks behind the gear, but their real signature is the groove: warm vocals, funky basslines, and rhythms that twist without losing the dancefloor. Catch them this week and you will hear the mountains breathe differently.

THURSDAY | 13:30 - 14:30 | ORBYZ

FRIDAY | 19:00 - 20:10 | MAINSTAGE

AWEN

AWEN’s voice has a way of cutting through the noise. This Paris-based French-Senegalese artist writes and performs Afro-house that blends electronic drums with timeless melodies and a touch of spirituality. Her journey is part of the appeal too: she spent years working as a lawyer before taking a leap into music, and you can hear that focus in the way her tracks build. Expect emotion up front, then a slow lift into a full-body groove that feels made for mountain vistas.

BÉROU

Bérou is pure energy. The French DJ and producer blends modern trance euphoria with ‘90s rave spirit, then spins it through hard house, hard bounce, and donk for maximum momentum. Her sets are colourful and fearless, sliding from bouncy rhythms to hands-inthe-air peaks, often sprinkled with Eurodance and other curveballs. If you are looking for a moment that feels like a midnight sprint in ski boots, this is it. But show up early, because she’s so fast that it’ll be over before you know it!

FRIDAY | 12:00 - 14:00 | REFLECTION OF LOVE

RONI

RONI represents the next wave of Paris club culture. The Parisian-Malaysian DJ and producer is also the head of Nehza Records, and her sets live in the fast lane, cruising around 140 to 160 BPM. Think breaks, bass, techno, and jungle stitched together with strong taste and zero hesitation. This is rave energy with a modern brain, the kind that will flip a room from nodding along to full mayhem in mere minutes. If you want something edgier after a long day on the slopes, just follow the noise.

FROM SATURDAY TO MONDAY

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE FIRST HALF OF YOUR WEEK!

The first three days are gold! During these first few days of Tomorrowland Winter, the fabulous Mainstage is still preparing to host you. The other magical venues, many of them situated against the scenic slopes of Alpe d’Huez, are already open for action. As a consequence, Saturday to Monday is the perfect time to discover the hidden gems of these extensive Holy Grounds. The line-ups across the stages boast some performances you just can’t afford to miss! The ever-energetic Laidback Luke will be playing no less than two sets on Saturday, and Matisse & Sadko are also determined to get you going. And where can you see Oliver Heldens, Henri PFR, Kevin de Vries. and Ofenbach all on one Sunday night? Only at Tomorrowland Winter, that’s where. You’ll have plenty of time to ski during these first three days, but don’t sleep on the music!

Novah is not here to gently ease anyone into the day. The Antwerp DJ and producer operates in the hard techno lane, but what makes her stand out is the push and pull between that sound and others, with acid flashes, trancey tension, and a pace that never loosens its grip. She also arrives with new momentum this Sunday, now part of the One World Artists roster, fresh off a very public nod from Amelie Lens last summer. With her debut EP Rave Kid on the way this year, for anyone craving pressure over polish, this is your name.

LAIDBACK LUKE

Laidback Luke has been a regular across many different Tomorrowland stages for as long as we can remember. The cool thing about Luke is that he’s seen it all: he’s seen techno come up, subdue and rise again, he’s witnessed the arrival of EDM and the renaissance of styles like tech house. This ever-energetic veteran of electronic music uses all of this background knowledge in his One World Radio show ‘Laidback Luke Selects’ and whenever he returns to Tomorrowland for a performance. Watching this man effortlessly showcase his love for music and turntable skills is always a treat.

NETSKY

Few artists take their stage name from a computer virus – but that’s exactly what Netsky did. Born Boris Daenen, he adopted the name from a cyber threat that surfaced in 2004, now yet knowing it would set him on the way to becoming one of Belgium’s most celebrated electronic musicians. Boris first rose to prominence in the drum & bass world through his signature liquid sound, producing smooth, melodic tracks that quickly gained international attention. As his career progressed, Netsky expanded his musical palette, achieving broader mainstream success with more pop-influenced singles and albums. All of this comes together when Daenen enters the booth – brace yourself for some incomparable melodic dance floor energy!

DA TWEEKAZ

The sound of these two likeable representatives of the hardstyle lifestyle is unmistakable. In their songs Kenth Kvien and Marcus Nordli blend driving kicks with uplifting, euphoric melodies, often incorporating surprising nods to pop culture and lots of humor. Even if this fun-loving duo has a busy life traveling the world, you wouldn’t say so by looking at their release schedule. During the past two years alone, the two have collaborated with the likes of D-Block & S-te-Fan, Serzo, and Sound Rush. We expect these bangers, hopefully along with some thus far unreleased material, to be part of their set. But whatever they do exactly, Da Tweekaz will alwayz put a smile on your face!

Whoop, whoop! The Mainstage opens today and the DJs rocking it are of the premier league! Belgian queen of atmospheric techno Charlotte de Witte will be doing her thing, Brazilian Afro house phenomenon Antdot is going to be there and Californian surf boy Steve Aoki – infamous for his cake-throwing antics – will be lobbing banger after banger at the audience. Norwegian euphoric hardstyle duo Da Tweekaz are destined to show why they are the perfect après-ski soundtrack providers, and Matisse & Sadko will be back for a second set, alongside British progressive house duo Third Party. Nina Kraviz’ eclectic techno selection will transcend the crowd at CORE, while no one should miss the bassline-heavy set by Luxembourgish new kid on the block Nosi over at the Cage.

CHARLOTTE DE WITTE

Charlotte de Witte does not waste much. There’s no extra fluff, no forced sentiment, no need to oversell what already speaks for itself. The Belgian techno figurehead has built her world through precision, sonic pressure, and total control, all while pushing her label KNTXT into a full ecosystem around her sound. That colder, leaner edge is exactly why her sets land so hard. Last summer, she became the first artist ever to open and close Tomorrowland Belgium’s Mainstage on the same day. And now, with her long-awaited selftitled debut album opening a new chapter, the feeling remains the same: serious intent, locked focus, and a dancefloor with absolutely nowhere to hide.

With Steve Aoki, restraint has never really been the point. His universe stretches from huge tours to new releases to his Foundation, and that sense of constant motion spills straight into the booth. What keeps him interesting is that the chaos seems to never be accidental. Beneath the stage presence sits someone who understands pace and impact, and knows how to keep a crowd permanently half a second away from yelling (or licking cake off their faces!). If you want a set that feels like a proper event rather than background fare, Steve Aoki is usually a very safe bet.

LOST FREQUENCIES

Lost Frequencies remains one of the easiest artists to recognise by feeling alone. Long before you identify the track, you will have already caught that familiar warmth in it, a softness around the edges, a hook that lands without needing to shove it. Félix De Laet has been carrying that instinct since ‘Are You With Me’ first broke through and made him the first Belgian artist to hit number one in the UK. A decade later, that gift still travels well. And on a beautiful French mountain, it feels even more natural.

“I’m drawn either to very emotional tracks or to ones with strong basslines. That combination played a big role in shaping the success of ‘So Good’.”

In 2025, Eric Nosbusch aka Nosi stole the hearts of many clubbers, including lots of People of Tomorrow. Nosi’s career, built on a solid mix of melodic and Afro house, was already progressing nicely when his banger ‘So Good’ hit the floors and secured him an enthusiastic following. Starting with a lazy bass and guitar and a dreamy voice, the track reaches an incredible, serotonin-rushing level of energy. How did he pull that one off? You’re about to find out!

Seeing as you’re from Luxembourg, we’d love to hear from you about the scene there. What are the clubs and the audience like?

“Luxembourg is a very small country and the scene is relatively small too. Because of that, most people more or less know each other, which creates a nice sense of community. Personally, I don’t really have a favourite club. What comes to mind more are specific events and festivals, or events happening in unusual locations. That is actually something I also try to do with my own NOSI Live Series event, creating experiences in places where people least expect them. We also have some very talented producers in the country, such as Tun Tonnar and Emerine Samuel, and I am sure there are many others I’m not even aware of yet. The audience in Luxembourg is very supportive and often feels like one big family, which creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere at events. At the same time, people can sometimes be a bit more reserved when it comes to dancing compared to crowds abroad.”

livable city, and there’s history and culture everywhere you look. The historic buildings especially give the city a really unique atmosphere. That said, I still go back to Luxembourg very often, as a big part of my life and my heart is still there.”

We know it’s the city of Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven, but is Vienna also an inspiring place electronic music-wise?

“Yes, definitely. Vienna is a very inspiring city with a highly developed music scene in many different directions, including electronic music. There’s always something creative happening, which makes it a great place to live and grow as an artist.”

Tell us about your 2025 hit ‘So Good’. How did you come up with the idea for it?

“The idea was originally to create an Afro house track with enough energy to work well during peak-time DJ sets, but with a unique character that would make it stand out from other music. In the end, the way everything came together was really down to the magic of momentum.”

What has the song done for your career?

“Honestly, quite a lot. There are still many things I haven’t even fully realized yet. A lot of people from the industry reached out to me at the time, and it definitely helped open some doors. One of the biggest highlights was being able to play at Tomorrowland for the very first time last year.”

Lando Norris used the tune in a social media post. What did you think when you found out?

“Haha, that was a really funny and beautiful moment. I am not a big Formula 1 follower myself, so at first I did not fully realise how big it actually was. But then suddenly all my friends started sending me the post, and it was even picked up by the national news in Luxembourg. That’s when it really sank in.”

Will you be sticking around for a while at Alpe d’Huez? How do you feel about winter sports?

You relocated to Vienna. What made you decide to move and how has it been to live there for you?

“I initially moved to Vienna in 2021 to study history. Since then, one of the main challenges has been balancing university with music, because managing both at the same time isn’t always easy. But in a way, it’s also a good problem to have. Living in Vienna has been an amazing experience. It’s such a clean and

The song has a ballad-style start with a kind of lazy guitar. Very unique indeed. How did that enter your mind?

“I really love heavy basslines. When I look at the tracks I choose for my sets, I often notice that I’m drawn either to very emotional tracks or to ones with strong basslines. That combination played a big role in shaping this track.”

“Oh yes, definitely. I am really looking forward to it. I personally love nature and mountains. I grew up in the north of Luxembourg and spent a lot of time outdoors and loved going out for a run. I also used to snowboard quite a lot, although in the past few years I haven’t had the chance to do it very often.

So… let’s see how it goes this year, haha!”

One of the enormous joys of Tomorrowland Winter is that you’ll get to see many artists twice in wholly different settings. That’s a new experience, music-wise as well as vibewise! Kevin de Vries moves his melodic techno from CORE to Frozen Lotus today, Charlotte de Witte shows the more intimate side of her artistry at Orbyz, and Lost Frequencies goes bigger and better as he is on the programme for the Mainstage. Joining him on that stage of all stages is none other than Steve Angello of the Swedish House Mafia. Wednesday is also a great day for fans of hardstyle, with Dirty Workz boss Coone, MANDY, and Da Tweekaz all playing Reflection of Love.

STEVE ANGELLO

Steve Angello brings a certain feeling of importance with him when he enters the booth. Part of that comes from history, of course, as a founding member of Swedish House Mafia, but part of it is the way his music has always carried a little more gravity than the average hands-in-the-air festival set. Even in his solo work, there is something cinematic in the way he builds things, with big emotion, darker undercurrents, and a strong sense that the payoff should feel like you’ve earned it. Wednesday gets its backbone right here!

Miss Monique grew into a global name in a way that feels very in tune with the present moment. She never did that one giant pop crossover, but gained fame through years of building her own lane, from meticulously crafted livestreams to club sets, major festival stages, and her own Siona Records universe. That background still shows in how she plays. Her sets tend to unfold carefully rather than explode, doing so very patiently and elegantly, with a clear sense of shape. Add her current Ibiza chapter to the story, and it is obvious Monique is no longer a rising star: she is already fully here.

MIND AGAINST

Mind Against are a good reminder that intensity does not always need to be loud. The Italian brothers have made a name through music that feels rich, emotional, and slightly transportive, pulling equally from house, techno, and a more cinematic synth language.

This may not be the pick for people chasing the quickest payoff on the lineup, but it is great for those who like to be drawn in slowly, only to look up an hour later and realise they never left.

“Afro house has an incredible emotional and rhythmic depth. What excites me the most is the connection between groove and spirituality.”

Brazilian DJ and producer Antdot inhabits a unique space in the world of electronic music with a sound that is indebted to samba and música popular Brasileira. The grooves and harmonies of his home country’s influential styles have subtly made their way into the work of this one-of-a-kind artist, who injects his love for historical sounds into everything he does. In Antdot’s world, rhythm is everything. Why? He sat down with us to share his thoughts ahead of a week in the European snow.

We love how you incorporate lots of Brazilian styles of music into your club-oriented sound. What does it mean for you to be Brazilian, music wise?

“Being Brazilian means growing up surrounded by rhythm. In Brazil music is everywhere, on the streets, at family gatherings, in football stadiums and at the beach. Rhythm is part of our culture and identity.”

We wanted to support artists who are not afraid to mix cultures, rhythms, and influences! Over time Dawn Patrol became more than just a label, it became a family and also a series of events around the world. What makes me most proud is seeing the community grow, and realising that something that started as a small idea between friends is now connecting people globally.”

incredibly warm. Tomorrowland always brings people from all over the world together, and when everyone is dancing in the mountains with that energy, the temperature almost becomes irrelevant, as the music creates its own warmth.”

Will you be skiing or snowboarding during your stay?

Tell us something about samba and música popular Brasileira, the music styles that inspired you. What do you love about the genres and who are some of the key artists everyone should know about?

“Samba and música popular represent some of the deepest roots of Brazilian music. They come with an incredible rhythmic richness and history and the music was born from resilience and cultural expression. Artists like Jorge Ben Jor, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Tim Maia, and Djavan are essential references for me. They created music that feels timeless: the grooves, harmonies, and lyrics are incredibly powerful and I think a lot of the emotional side of my music comes from the fact that I’ve been listening to these artists for all of my life.”

You co-own the label Dawn Patrol with Maz. Please tell us something about the ideas behind the label?

“Dawn Patrol started as a very simple idea: we wanted to create a space where music and community come first. Thomaz and I always believed that music should feel honest and emotional and the label was born from that philosophy.

A lot of your music could be filed under ‘Afro house’. Tell us, what makes the sound and scene so exciting for you? And what does Afro house do to a dance floor atmosphere-wise?

“Afro house has an incredible emotional and rhythmic depth. What excites me the most is the connection between groove and spirituality. The percussion, the vocals, the melodies, everything feels very alive and very human! At the same time, I don’t really feel like my music fits perfectly into one specific style. I’ve always been inspired by many different sides of house music, and I like to keep that freedom in my sound. There’s actually a strong connection between Afro house and Brazilian house. Rhythm and percussion play a huge role in both styles, and we share a deep relationship, musically speaking. For me this fusion of influences is what makes Dawn Patrol tracks so powerful on a dancefloor.”

How do you expect this will translate to the frosty environs of the French Alps?

“Playing in a place like the French Alps creates a really unique atmosphere. Even though the environment is cold and surrounded by snow, the energy on the dance floor can be

“I’ll definitely try to enjoy the mountains while I’m there! Snowboarding is more similar to skateboarding, a sport I’ve been practicing for years. Touring can be pretty intense, so moments like that are a great way to enjoy the environment. I love the feeling of being in nature and the perspective that it brings.”

How do you feel about the location? Have you been before? What are you looking forward to?

“I’ve actually never been there before, so I’m really excited about it. To be honest, I’ve never seen snow in person, so this will be a pretty special first experience for me. Playing surrounded by mountains and snow must be very different from the environments I’m used to!”

What are you working on at the moment? Can we expect any new music soon?

“Yes, a lot of new music is coming. I’m currently working on several new releases and collaborations, including projects with artists that I really admire. Some of these tracks are part of a bigger body of work that I’m preparing for the next phase of my career so… stay tuned!”

On the sixth (!) day, Tomorrowland Winter won’t be showing a single sign of slowing down. Belgian indie-dance artist Oscar & The Wolf will play a new version of his very personal After Hours set at his beloved CORE, Nina Kraviz is set to reign over Reflection of Love and ALOK will be presenting Something Else, a project in which he returns to his experimental, underground roots. Hardstyle fans should be looking forward to Danish melodic producer Adrenalize and fun Scottish duo Rebelion. The Mainstage is also looking more than decent with Afrojack playing a b2b with R3HAB, Agents Of Time doing their trance-inducing techno thing and EDM star Alesso playing a no doubt mesmerising set.

Alesso has always understood the value of a horizon. His music is built for open spaces, with long builds, clear melodies, and those moments when a crowd suddenly takes over the decibel output of the speakers. That emotional bent is still his strongest currency. Plenty of artists can make a festival feel big, but fewer can make it feel wide, and that is where Alesso usually wins. This Thursday in the Alps, his sweeping sense of grandeur is set to do a lot of work. Expect singalongs, clean release, and a set that knows exactly when to open up.

Agents Of Time never sound rushed, which is a big part of their power. Andrea Di Ceglie and Luigi Tutolo build melodic techno with real patience, letting rhythm, atmosphere, and emotion lock together until the whole thing starts to behave as one. Their background as a live act still matters, because even in a DJ setting, there is usually something clearly deliberate about the way they move through a set. If you like your dance music detailed, hypnotic, and a little bit cosmic, Agents of Time have you covered!

COONE

Any story about hardstyle without Coone would feel incomplete. The Belgian producer has been one of the scene’s key figures for years, and not just through his own music: Dirty Workz, the label he helped build into a launchpad for the genre, has over the years become a household name to all hardstyle heads. That is why a Coone set tends to come with very little uncertainty. The kicks are meant to hit, the hooks are meant to stick, and standing still is barely an option. Sometimes subtlety is overrated anyway!

“There’s a kind of honesty after dark, when people stop pretending and just feel things.”

Belgian singer-songwriter and producer Max Colombie blends shimmering pop, sultry R&B, electronic beats, and indie vibes in his acclaimed project Oscar & The Wolf. On July 20th 2025, Oscar & the Wolf premiered After Hours at Tomorrowland Belgium, offering a radically personal concept and highlighting a clubbier, darker side of his artistic being. During Tomorrowland Winter, fans should expect an even deeper sound, as Colombie has added new and emotional works to his After Hours set list. And fortunately, he has also decided to grace us with some insights ahead of the performance.

OSCAR & THE WOLF AFTER HOURS

CORE | Thursday March 26 | 23:45-01:00

Your After Hours sets carry a distinct late-night aura. What is it about that after- dark atmosphere that resonates with you personally?

“The nighttime has always been when my music feels most alive. There’s a kind of honesty after dark, when people stop pretending and just feel things. A lot of my songs live in that space between euphoria and vulnerability. That late-night energy is something I’m exploring even deeper right now; darker, more hypnotic, more instinctive.”

You recently unveiled your own interpretation of R.E.M.’s ‘Losing My Religion’. What inspired you to reimagine such an iconic song through your own sonic lens?

“‘Losing My Religion’ came out the same year I was born (1991), so it has always felt like it was somehow part of my story. It’s one of my favourite songs, and I’ve had a strong connection to it for as long as I can remember. There’s a vulnerability in it that still moves me today. Reimagining it felt natural. I just wanted to bring that emotion into my own world and give it a more intimate, hypnotic atmosphere.”

The music you play during your After Hours sets has a distinct club feel to it. Which club or electronic sounds have influenced the direction of your more dance-driven work?

“I’ve always been drawn to darker, deep club sounds. Not in a purely DJ-focused sense, but in the atmosphere they create. Early house, certain techno records, and parts of the

French electronic scene definitely influenced me, especially in the sense of space and repetition. I’m interested in music that slowly pulls you in, in something sensual and hypnotic rather than aggressive.”

Among the tracks you’ve been performing lately, is there one that feels especially personal to you? What gives that song its emotional weight?

“The song I like performing the most right now is ‘Losing My Religion’. Looking at what’s happening in the world today could easily make me lose my faith in humanity. But at the same time, when I see and hear people, their voices and their emotions, it actually gives me hope. And that’s probably the feeling I carry the most right now: the hope that we will come together as humanity.”

Your more rhythm-focused tracks carry a very recognisable mood. What elements do you feel define the signature atmosphere of your club -leaning sound?

“It is a combination of light and darkness. I like placing soft textures over deeper beats, so the music feels intimate but still moves forward. There is also almost always a touch of melancholy. That is simply a part of who I am as a creator.”

Are you planning to explore the slopes yourself during Tomorrowland Winter, and what memories do you have from past skiing or snowboarding adventures?

“I haven’t skied in a while, but I like the mountains. If I get a

moment, I’ll probably go up there and see how fast I can go before I lose control.”

You’ve performed for both intimate club crowds and large-scale festival audiences. How does the energy at Tomorrowland compare to those different settings?

“Each show feels unique to me. I love the intimacy of club shows, where everything feels close and fragile. But I also love the emotional shock of arenas and big festival stages. Tomorrowland sits somewhere in between for me. It feels like a huge collective moment where everyone shares the same pulse. People arrive with an open heart, ready to feel something together.”

Can fans expect any exclusive or unreleased material during your Tomorrowland Winter performance? If so, what can you share about the new direction you’re exploring?

“The answer I’ll give is: yes. I’ve been playing with a few new ideas. For me, playing a song on stage is the only way to know if it is real.”

Are you currently working on any new music? What can you tell us about it?

“I’m always working on music. Lately it’s been more raw, more emotional, but still with a pulse. It feels like the start of something new.”

FRIDAY

MARCH 27

Going out with a bang is an integral part of Tomorrowland’s DNA. Tonight, they’ll show you how creating unforgettable memories is done properly. By means of a massive show, of course, but most definitely also musically. Oden & Fatzo, two very groovy French selectors, travel down from this country’s famous capital city to get you moving on the Mainstage, which today also features appearances by the likes of Axwell, ALOK, Dimitri Vegas, and NERVO. Incredible German deep house & techno duo Âme will perform their legendary live show at CORE, and two Belgian hard dance stars, MANDY and BYØRN, will DJ back to back for the first time in history. These DJs and many others will passionately provide the closing score of another glorious edition and send you off with a soundtrack powerful enough to last through to the next edition of Tomorrowland, wherever in the world that may be for you.

DIMITRI VEGAS

Few names are woven into the wider Tomorrowland story as tightly as Dimitri Vegas. As one half of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, he has spent years operating at the oversized end of dance music, where the goal is not simply to play tracks, but to trigger reactions and set off fireworks. That instinct still matters on a closing-day. Friday wants uplifting tunes, confidence, and a bit of excess, and Dimitri Vegas has built a career on exactly that combination. Some artists close a week, others feel like a full stop written in capital letters!

ALOK tends to think and operate way beyond the decks. Yes, he is one of Brazil’s biggest electronic artists, but what makes him especially interesting is the scale of the world around the music, from his family roots in the scene to the Alok Institute and his kind of visually ambitious performances that recently broke drone-show records at Tomorrowland Brasil. That bigger-picture mindset carries into his sets too. They are broad, polished, and built to connect fast. Friday needs names that feel expansive, and Alok fits that brief with ease.

CYRIL

CYRIL brings a different flavour to the page, slightly less legacy-oriented, slightly more right-now curiosity. The Australian producer broke through with ‘Stumblin’ In’ and quickly proved he was not a one-hit wonder, following up with another widely heard rework in ‘Sound of Silence’. What makes him especially important on a line-up like this is the way his music sits between familiarity and freshness: there is always something recognisable in the emotion, but the finish still feels clean and current. A CYRIL performance is easy to drift into, but hard to leave.

“We’re both into combining that feeling of euphoria with lots of energy.”

This is a story about two Belgian artists with their own distinctive approach to producing hard dance, a group of genres that operate at accelerated BPMs. MANDY’s signature used to lean towards hardstyle, but has become more versatile over the past couple of years; BYØRN’s sound is on a hardtechno trip and has gradually become more melodic as of late. Tomorrowland could sense that the two were almost reaching out to one another, and invited them to play a b2b set this Winter closing the Cage stage hosted by Atmosphere. What are their thoughts on uniting the various harddance sounds? Ahead of their performance, they sat down with us to share visions.

BYØRN B2B MANDY

What, to you both, is the definition of hard dance music? And what does it mean to you personally?

BYØRN: “It’s a very broad term that can mean a lot of things. Within hard dance, you can currently see lots of cross-polinations going on. For example, hardtechno producers often use hardstyle kicks. It’s made hardtechno a bit juicier, the kicks used to be drier.”

MANDY: “I agree! It used to be more monotonous, so to speak. I also think that influences from hardstyle have delivered more melodic and euphoric sounds to techno. It has really taken a nice new, fresh direction.”

What are the effects of these developments on your own styles of music?

BYØRN: “I’d say our styles have gradually become more complementary.”

MANDY: “My latest tracks have moved a little toward your sound I’d say. For the past year or two, I have started to change up my kicks a bit. I do still play hardstyle kicks, but most drums are typically associated with other styles. I’ve been doing hardstyle for thirteen years now and really felt a desire to follow my heart into new territories.”

You’re from two different Belgian cities. MANDY, you’re from Ghent and BYØRN, you hail from Antwerp. How do the scenes in your cities compare to one another?

MANDY: “We have a club called Kompass and you guys

have Garage Klub in Antwerp. I’d say the clubs are on par with one another, don’t you think?”

BYØRN: “I agree, the larger events are similar. But when it comes to slightly more underground events, I always feel that the raw industrial sound resonates more in Antwerp and that people in Ghent are more into bouncy, trancey stuff.”

MANDY: “True.”

How do you guys feel about premiering your b2b at Tomorrowland Winter?

MANDY: “Our b2b will be at the Cage, so it will come with a different vibe than your typical Winter set, as it is part of the Atmosphere hosting. The Cage is dark, even when the sun is shining outside, so Tomorrowland’s technical crew will work the lights in that special way like they always do. You just know when you’re at an Atmosphere curated event, the crowd is always really into it. When it comes to the merging of our sounds, I am super excited. We both regularly play tracks by people like Isaac and TNT. I think it will be really good.”

BYØRN: “I’m sure we’ll start sending each other tracks in preparation very soon, that’s always a really fun part of doing a b2b. MANDY’s style is very melodic and she’s into combining that feeling of euphoria with lots of energy. I really like that as well.”

BYØRN, you’ve been inspired by themes of transformation and ancient symbolism in your recent work. Can you elaborate a bit on that?

BYØRN: “I incorporate storytelling into all of my tracks. What I’m trying to create is a cycle of destruction and darkness, where the direction is always towards a sense of healing. I think this is a theme everyone can relate to in some way. What I love about incorporating it into my music is that it enables me to touch people on a deeper level, and maybe support them in some way. This automatically creates a sense of community.”

MANDY: “I love your recent work. One of my favourites is your closing track at Atmosphere Antwerp last year. Was that the unreleased track ‘In my heart’’?”

BYØRN: “Yes it was, thank you!”[b]

Beautiful as that moment may have been, Tomorrowland Winter is about more than music, there’s also lots of snow… MANDY: “Haha, I’ve never learned how to snowboard or ski, it’s not in our family unfortunately...”

Can’t you teach MANDY some tricks, BYØRN?

BYØRN: “Tricks may be a step too far, but I’m happy to teach you some basics, Mandy!”
