Tomorrowland is a lot to take in musically, to be sure.
But in addition to the thousands of tracks played by more than 800 DJs during the first weekend (July 15-17) of the Belgian festival, there was also the glowing, laser-flashing, fireworks-blasting visual spectacle of Tomorrowland’s 16 stages, massive camping area (called DreamVille) and even more massive festival site, which is the size of 63 football fields.
This space comes to life with water features, art installations and much more, creating a truly whimsical space for attendees to wander through while making their way from stage to stage.
Tomorrowland’s main musical hub is its incredible Reflection of Love mainstage, where many of the biggest stars in dance music dropped tracks for massive audiences. (As the event attempts to recoup losses incurred during the pandemic, Tomorrowland co-founder Michiel Beers successfully appealed to Tomorrowland’s headliners to discount their 2019-level fees by 10%.) Tomorrowland 2022 performers include Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte, Alesso, Above & Beyond, Nicole Moudaber, Diplo, Amelie Lens, Marshmello, Purple Disco Machine, Martin Garrix, Vintage Culture and many many more.
The second weekend of the festival kicks of Friday, July 22, and then happens again July 29-31, with Tomorrowland expecting to host roughly 600,000 fans from around the world over the course of these three weekends.
Here are some of the sights witnessed during the first weekend of the event.
