FOCUS ON THE MUSIC
Hear The Singing Of The Birds
Stage Hostings
The birds of Arcadiana sing loudly from many different nooks and crannies. Every day, we explore three of them here, telling you about what sort of song to expect at which stage.
The Rose Garden
2010-2012
The nostalgic ‘2010-2012’ hosting is back at The Rose Garden this Sunday! Looking back at some wonderful editions of Tomorrowland, this stage presents a throwback line-up to reminisce over those glorious years of dance music history. With Tomorrowland all-stars such as Quintino, Chuckie and Blasterjaxx, as well as Belgian stars Mystique, Yves V, and Dimaro, this stage will have lovers of all the classic tracks swooning. Do not fear the dragon, and make your way to the Rose Garden on this weekend’s last day to bask in the glory of Tomorrowland past!
The Library Smash The House
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike’s Smash the House label is taking over The Library today, having programmed the mystical stage’s line-up in full. Make sure to fly over, as many legendary artists take over the decks here this Sunday, from DJ Diesel to the multitalented John Newman, as well as Quintino and Bassjackers. Expect nothing less than bangers only from Smash The House’s curation, as everyone here is bringing the energy. With label owners Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike closing the stage together with Steve Aoki, in the 3 Are Legend supergroup of longtime Tomorrowland fame, prepare yourself for a mad time.
Cage One87 Presents
Tomorrowland has never shied away from presenting dance music in all tempos and styles, and today’s hosting of the CAGE stage is a good example of that. Producer and DJ One87 is hosting today’s indoor antics, bringing many different flavours of festive bass to your last weekend day. With artists ranging from Phase & LeMeduza to UK talent CESCO, as well as The Sauce, Serum, GEST, and James Marvel, the subs in that dark little club are up for a workout. Prepare to skank out and break a sweat while dancing to your favourite drum & bass tracks today at the CAGE!
Daybreak Sessions
Franky Rizardo
MAINSTAGE | 12:00
Taking the best from both worlds, Dutch club scene mainstay Franky Rizardo comfortably inhabits the no-man’s land between house and techno. With two full days of raving as well as the Gathering already behind you, Franky’s forceful beats and excellent selections will give your sleepy head the energy it needs to get ready for a final day of dance moves and memories. Surely, this Daybreak Session is set to once again rise to incredible heights.
One of the hardest-working dance floor entertainers and producers of the Low Countries, Franky has put hours and hours into his career, carving out his own niche in the scene and earning his place up there on the mythical Mainstage. Having played the world’s biggest clubs including Fabric, Amnesia, Elrow, Shelter and Thuishaven, Franky is blessed with an incredibly busy schedule this summer that includes performances in Ibiza, Morocco, Bolivia, Colombia, Barcelona, and of course Amsterdam. His nearly three hour-long set today will feel like a breath of fresh air to the selector, as Tomorrowland has invited him to go to unexpected places and off the beaten track – and such a long slot allows for plenty of exploration. With releases on some of the world’s most acclaimed labels to his name, including Rejected, Saved, 8Bit and even original New York house imprint Strictly Rhythm, Franky is a master of funky eclecticism. And guess what? That’s exactly what it takes to be an excellent Daybreak Session DJ. Grab your juice, coffee or smoothie, so you’re all set to wiggle along to the smooth and funky grooves of Franky Rizardo!
