A peek into the magic
January 2025
Wow, that went fast! The year had barely begun when big news started rolling in: Lost Frequencies won a MIA award, Netsky joined the prestigious Tomorrowland One World Artists family, Hardwell launched a monthly show on One World Radio, and all tickets for Tomorrowland Belgium 2025 sold out in record time! It looks like 2025 is set to be an explosive year. Let’s recap.
BOOM - TOMORROWLAND BELGIUM
All tickets for Tomorrowland 2025, themed Orbyz, are officially sold out. Following the local presale, the Global Journey sale kicked off, creating an incredible buzz! With over 800,000 options available, festival lovers rushed to secure their spot. Within hours, the shop was completely sold out, welcoming 49,876 People of Tomorrow who secured their ultimate festival experience. Highlights include 12,790 opting for flight packages in partnership with Brussels Airlines, 9,770 choosing bus packages, and an impressive 9,039 embracing the ever-popular train journey to Belgium. Afterward, the two main ticket sales followed, and in just 20 minutes, the entire festival was fully booked.
Before heading to Boom, Tomorrowland makes two more stops: first in Colombia for CORE Medellín in February, then in France for Tomorrowland Winter in Alpe d’Huez in March—time to wax those skis!
LAS VEGAS - CALIVERSE
At the start of the year, the Tomorrowland Digital Music Adventures and AREAL teams made their way to Las Vegas to showcase Tomorrowland Planet at the Caliverse booth during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Tomorrowland Planet is a magical fantasy realm, featuring quests that unlock live sets from top DJs—a must-see experience for music and technology lovers.
NETSKY JOINS THE FAMILY
Globally renowned DJ and producer Netsky has signed with One World Artists, Tomorrowland’s official artist agency, for worldwide management representation. This marks a thrilling new chapter in his career, making 2025 another milestone year for the Drum & Bass pioneer. A longtime friend of Tomorrowland, Netsky has delivered unforgettable performances at some of the most iconic Tomorrowland events, including Tomorrowland Belgium, Tomorrowland Winter, and Tomorrowland Brasil over the past decade.
Now, with the release of his brand-new single ‘California’, the legendary Belgian artist is set to elevate his global career even further with One World Artists.
Netsky: “Tomorrowland has been a huge part of my journey. Happy to announce that I’m now represented by One World Artists. Excited for this next chapter with people who’ve felt like family since the beginning.”
ONE WORLD RADIO: FRESH NEW PROGRAMMING & HOSTS
One World Radio kicked off the new year with a dynamic new programming schedule, brand-new monthly shows, and exciting new hosts! With 1.5 million unique monthly listeners from over 130 countries, One World Radio continues to bring the Sound of Tomorrowland to the world.
Hardwell: “I’m really excited to kick off my new monthly show, ‘Hardwell presents Euphoria,’ on One World Radio. This show is all about diving deeper into the music I love and creating a space where we can enjoy the freshest new releases, as well as some classic anthems. Can’t wait for you all to tune in and join me on this new journey!”
TOMORROWLAND FOUNDATION EXPANDS IN BRAZIL
The opening of the Tomorrowland Foundation Music & Arts School in Itu last October was just the beginning. Together with Associação Arracê, the Tomorrowland Foundation continues to create opportunities for children and teenagers in Brazil’s favelas, where access to education remains limited.
In Campo Limpo, São Paulo, the Estrela Nova project not only supports students with activities like capoeira but has now introduced DJ lessons, inspiring young minds through music. Through the PAC program, children can now access IT and English classes, while dance initiatives like AYO Ballet are helping Afro-Latin girls break into the world of ballet—an art form often seen as reserved for privileged backgrounds. AYO Ballet offers these girls a platform to grow, express themselves, and gain confidence while challenging traditional barriers.
All of this is made possible thanks to proceeds from the Tomorrowland Brasil 2024 social tickets, demonstrating the power of the People of Tomorrow in transforming lives.
