JOHN NEWMAN’S ESSENTIALS

We all know chart-topping producer John Newman well from his hits ‘Love Me Again’ and ‘Blame’ from years ago, but he has reinvented himself as a DJ who provides his own vocals on stage. He also has a new essential single out on Tomorrowland Music with the one and only Steve Angello: ‘Call Your Name’. Time to find out what is essential to him at Tomorrowland!

What’s essential at Tomorrowland, and what’s the best moment to use it?

“Honestly, I don’t know. Whatever it is, bring it down to the Mainstage on the second weekend on Saturday and watch me perform the biggest performance of my life. I’m very excited for it!”

What song is essential in your set, and why?

“It’s my brand new single with Alesso, ‘Call Your Name’. I can’t wait to see the reaction when I play it at the Tomorrowland Mainstage. Another song that is totally essential is ‘Hold On To My Love’. I’ve made an amazing endof-show progressive remix of it.”

What’s essential within the group of friends who are joining you at Tomorrowland, and why?

“My group of friends that are joining me at Tomorrowland are all being paid to be there (laughs). It would be amazing to be a full-blown Tomorrowland artist, so then I could see all my friends from my management team, and other friends, at the festival. We’ve been working on this for 3 years and I’m really excited to bring my new era to such a large stage.”

Glorious Gothic Marvels

This year’s Mainstage is the embodiment of Arcadiana, the flying city where skilled guildspeople have woven magic into every fiber of its being. With its sky-scraping towers, pointed arches and tumbling waterfalls, it truly makes you feel as if you’re amongst the clouds, with gusts of wind blowing through your feathers. Designed in a mostly late gothic style with hints of renaissance architecture shining through, it combines a design philosophy moved by a sense of discovery and craftsmanship with the eternal might of nature itself. Can you feel the moment of Ascendo nearing?
