STUDIOS

Has the story of the Mainstage’s creation captured you thus far? Then come on down to the Great Library Studios, located along the big food court behind the Mainstage itself, and discover sketches from the long and meticulous, yet fulfilling and fruitful design process. All the sketches displayed there are available for purchase in very limited numbers. Want to get a print of the final sketch of the Mainstage? Well then, you’d better come down sooner rather than later, because only 20 are available in total. But no matter if you want a piece of Arcadiana history to take home with you or not, a visit to the Great Library Studio is really a must. There is no place where you can dive deeper into the story and all the elements and artifacts of our flying city.

From Sketch To Sensation

Never has the process of designing the Mainstage been more time-consuming. Two years have gone by since the first sketch of the 2023 Mainstage saw the light of day. Since then, a team of in-house artists and modelers has been busy crafting and sculpting every single visible element, inspired by hundreds of concept sketches and artworks by Tomorrowland’s own talented designers. Throughout the creative process, it slowly but surely grew into what it is now: more natural elements were added to the design, the importance of the connection between humans and birds was incorporated, and the flying nature of the stage was distilled into the addition of 12 balloons that make it rise and strive towards the sky beyond –figuratively, of course.
