Tomorrowland


BOOM, BELGIUM, JULY 27-29


OVER 400,000 ELECTRONIC AND DANCE MUSIC LOVERS
attended Tomorrowland 2018 during the span of two weekends,
each complete with glowing neon installations and epic stage
productions that transformed the grounds of De Schorre park
into an adult version of Disney World. Some of music’s most
notable DJs and producers from around the world returned
to play during the festival’s second go-around, including
The Bloody Beetroots, Alison Wonderland, Don Diablo,
Tiësto and Afrojack. What made the festival’s irst celebratory
weekend signiicant were the many tributes to the late Avicii,
from Axwell & Ingrosso delivering an a cappella version of
“Wake Me Up!” to the audience unfurling a giant Avicii lag
during Nicky Romero’s set. —BIANCA GRACIE
