Tomorrowland Belgium is a week away and the biggest electronic music festival in the world has some surprises in store for its 20th anniversary. Festival attendees will be treated to some new yet familiar stages designed with Tomorrowland’s history in mind. These stages will feature previous Tomorrowland themes:
The Planaxis stage returns to the festival grounds of Tomorrowland and marks a significant return to the immersive and enchanting world that defined the 2018 edition of Tomorrowland. In Planaxis, The People of Tomorrow dive into a captivating underwater paradise, brimming with imaginative marine life and stunning sea-inspired artistry. This stage will take the place of Youphoria (the Mushroom stage). The entire area has been completely upgraded. The overhead tent structure is gone and the crowd space is much larger, now facing the lake in an auditorium arrangement. The new Planaxis Stage will be in the lake itself! Imagine the white portions of the stage above sticking out of the water, and that is basically what the stage will look like.
The Melodia stage, inspired by the Secret Kingdom of Melodia, invites the People of Tomorrow to relive the memories made during the Tomorrowland edition in 2015. Enter the Secret Kingdom and embrace the harmony created by the enduring sounds of Melodia.
The Elixir stage draws inspiration from the 2016 festival theme ‘The Elixir of Life’ and will become an iconic landmark on the festival grounds. This stage debuted last year as a replacement for Harbor House and also gave us our first hints as to the 2024 theme. This year, a new fragrance will debut, inspired by the concept of an elixir. This year a new bridge has been constructed so that this stage is more easily accessible from the daily festival entrance.
The House of Fortune Stage is expected to revisit the beloved Amicorum Spectaculum theme featuring steampunk carnival but in a much smaller size.
The Library Stage is not new, but it also continues this theme. The Library Stage is a callback to the ever-beloved Book of Wisdom theme that was celebrated during the last anniversary in 2019 with its own mainstage. It will be returning for 2024 with the area surrounding the stage re-graded, beautified, and even turned into a skatepark (which will be covered by the VIP deck).
At this point, we do not know if Reflection of Love will make an appearance as part of the festivities, but it is certainly belowed as well. Adscendo is arriving in Brazil for its second chapter in October. We can’t wait to see the new Life theme!
