The year 2024 marks a significant anniversary for Tomorrowland, one of the world's leading music festivals. Since its founding in 2005 by brothers Manu and Michiel Beers, Tomorrowland has grown from a local event to a global phenomenon. With this year's theme 'LIFE' - a prequel to the popular 'Elixir of Life' theme from 2016 - the festival once again promises an unforgettable experience for all 'People of Tomorrow'. It took place from July 19 to 21 and again from July 26 to 28 in the picturesque De Schorre Park in Boom, Belgium.
What sets Tomorrowland apart from other festivals is its unique combination of music, art and impressive themed experiences. Every year, the site is transformed into a new, imaginative world, lovingly designed down to the smallest detail. From the stunning mainstage designs to the hidden nooks and surprises around the site, the visual aesthetic plays as important a role as the music itself. This year's theme 'LIFE' promises a deeper exploration of the stories that surround the mythical world of Tomorrowland, inviting visitors to become part of this magical narrative.
