FIRST, LET’S TAKE A SELFIE WISDOM

Switch For Tomorrow

Next week, when the dust has settled, your heart has fallen back into its regular rhythm, you’ve taken a nice hot shower at home and slept in your own bed, there will be some time for reflection. Think ahead and take a deep breath now, think about all the wondrous things you’re experiencing this weekend; think about how, maybe, they’re changing you into someone new. Will you be someone better than the you that arrived at this festival before the weekend? Are there any resolutions or changes you’re thinking of? For yourself, for tomorrow, for a better future? If this is you – if you’re thinking about quitting smoking, cutting out the carbs, asking your partner to have a cat together, finally putting that crosstrainer you bought for Christmas to good use – head over to the Switch for Tomorrow elves at the Tunnel of Hope located on the One World Bridge. The artists present will immortalise your wishes and desires on the serpentines hanging over the tunnel. Eternalise your commitment to yourself, say your wishes out loud, and with just a little bit of that magic Tomorrowland sparkle, they will come true!

WHERE CAN I FIND THIS NEWSPAPER?

Take a little stroll in the morning to visit your local District House and pick up your daily copy of Tomorrowland Today. Look out for the real-life newspaper hawkers who will personally hand you a mint copy to bring along to your home camp!

Sure, taking a selfie at the Mainstage or the LED walls of the Freedom stage are essential to your Tomorrowland experience – have you even been to Tomorrowland if you haven’t struck those off your list? But this year, make sure not to stop snapping yet, as a couple of even more pleasing places to take a picture have been added to the festival grounds. Take out your phone, dial in #Tomorrowland, conjure a smile upon your face and take a picture in front of the big golden Tomorrowland letters in between the Rise stage and the Cage, give your lover a kiss underneath the banners of the Tunnel of Hope located on the One World Bridge, or take a ride through the skies on the Ferris wheel behind the Freedom stage. The real daredevils amongst you might even take a picture kissing the Rose Garden’s dragon – at your own risk, of course! Lights, camera, smile!

Rise To The Occasion

Who here will be the next big star at Tomorrowland? Have you always dreamt of playing on one of the sixteen stages of the festival, or are you curious about what buttons all your favourite DJs and artists are pressing all the time up there? Then head over to the Coke Studio, where Coca Cola has lined up a battery of DJ gear and turntables for you to take a test drive. Take some basic lessons from renowned DJs in how to work the material, play your first track and maybe slip in a loop or a special effect! If you’re more comfortable on the other side of the DJ booth, never fear: you can step inside the kaleidoscope for a dance with your own doppelganger. And if you’re a bit tired, there’s even a booth where you can let other people’s legs do the dancing for you, and an opportunity to take a panoramic picture from the rooftop. As an extension of the search for talent in the Coke Studio, the line-up at the Rise stage by Coca Cole features up-and-coming talents throughout the weekend. Curious? You can find the Coke Studio just across from the Rise stage, next to the Cage.
