FRIDAY
People of Tomorrow,
THE MADNESS
HAS BEGUN
Even though Tomorrowland itself is yet to open its gates, the weekend is already off to a smoldering start. On Thursday, the sun shone and faces in the vicinity of De Schorre smiled. A city of tents called DreamVille was erected, involving a lot of fiddling with lines, laughs and poles. Once all that was said and done it was time to head off and start the dance at the Gathering. Revelers were welcomed to a familiar sun-and-moon stage, vibrantly yellow on the left and a calm nightly blue on the right. On it, StuBru contest winner Ravenous was the one who roused the sound system into action. During the afternoon, the fields filled up and while some people took a breather at their camps, the lines for food and drinks at the Marketplace lengthened. Provided with nourishment, everyone was drawn back towards the Gathering stage where, by the time The Oddword blasted out the final rays of daylight, a raging crowd had formed. Under the careful guidance of GHO$T and Dimitri, Mike & Yves, the final hours of the night were danced away – and the magic of Tomorrow welcomed back onto DreamVille.
ARE YOU Ready? Set? RAVE! To dance or not to dance. That’s not much of a question, is it? The Gathering may have been awesome, but the real madness starts today. Tomorrowland kicks off with Daybreak Sessions, which means three full hours of Eric Prydz at the mainstage. For those who are more trance-minded, the Trance Addict stage offers a broad range of artists like Andrew Rayel, Menno de Jong and of course Paul Oakenfold himself. At
Mad Decent twerking is mandatory, as Dillon Francis, Trippy Turtle and Diplo take stage, under accompaniment of Zeds Dead, Flosstradamus and many more. The more underground techno vibes come from Carl Cox & friends, with Loco Dice, John Digweed and Carl Cox himself. Is that all? No, it isn’t! Steve Aoki is bringing along The Chainsmokers, Benny Benassi, the boys
from Yellow Claw and Belgian celebrity Coone. As you may have noticed, there is just too much to see, to hear, to admire, to dance to. You can’t catch them all, but where your favourites are concerned, you can damn well try. Be sure to check out the timetable on page 24, where you can find all the details about the multitude of musical styles that you may encounter today.
DreamVille Drinkers,
ATTENTION!
At DreamVille, look out for Cava’s Celebration Bubbles stand. With your bracelet you can get a free glass of Cava, in honour of Tomorrowland’s anniversary. Cheers!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
The sun is shining! Today is going to be hot. It’s going to be
Yellow Claw’s quest for glory
burning, in fact. If you don’t want to turn out a delicious red lobster, be sure to turn to page 11.
