You Cannot Miss These Sets At Tomorrowland Weekend 1

Wondering where to go while at Tomorrowland this weekend? Stress no more.

One of the world’s largest gatherings year-round is about to begin. Tomorrowland is getting its doors ready for an impressive congregation of ravers and music lovers, for the usual two weekends in Belgian grounds. All artists and stages are already written down and posted for everyone to have a look and decide where to be at, and at what time.

But it is super overwhelming. Given the amount of DJs playing at all times, we’ve decided to break it down and pick our top sets for each day of Weekend 1. So, if you’re heading over to Tomorrowland and your brain is melting a bit from too much info, sit down, relax, and read on.

Here are our top sets you cannot miss this weekend at Tomorrowland, in no particular order.

Friday

Swedish House Mafia

Mainstage — 22:50 – 23:50

It’s the Swedish House Mafia. They had us singing along to all of their hits back in the day, they broke the internet when they split up, and broke the internet again once they announced they were back. Now, after a string of top-notch releases boasting a more Garage-infused sound, we can only do so much to resist the urge to go see what they have in store for Tomorrowland.

Hardwell (Throwback EDM Set)

Freedom – 23:30 – 00:30

Under the premise that the Freedom stage allows you to experiment and venture out of your usual sound, Hardwell ran a poll on his socials asking which kind of set he should play. The winner, not by a mile but by an entire lightyear, was the Throwback EDM Set option. So yeah. You cannot miss Hardwell looking back at the music that moved our bodies — and even started this page — a decade and a half ago.

Keinemusik

Crystal Garden – 21:30 – 00:30

Arguably the leaders of the Afro House sound right now. With a handful of Beatport Top 1s and a style that has infiltrated basically the entire Dance scene as of now, &ME, Adam Port, and Rampa are bringing their renowned Keinemusik brand to the People of Tomorrow in a few days. It’s going to be a journey, given that they have three hours to tell their story.

Saturday

Laidback Luke presents Wayback Luke

Mainstage – 12:00 – 14:30

Wayback Luke is a concept run by, well, Laidback Luke, if you couldn’t tell. It’s become a monthly radioshow where he takes listeners on a trip back to the golden age of Dance music, and he’s bringing it to Tomorrowland for the third year in a row. Kicking Saturday off with a 2-hour-long summary of 40+ years of Electronic music? Count us in.

REZZMAU5

Freedom – 22:40 – 00:00

If you were looking for unmissable sets, this is definitely one you should be at on Saturday night. Acclaimed producers deadmau5 and Rezz apparently didn’t have much in common, but once they tried and threw a B2B set, it opened up a new world altogether. They’re bringing their conjoint live alias REZZMAU5 over to Boom for a slot full of energy and bangers.

Solomun B2B Four Tet

Crystal Garden – 20:30 – 00:30

This one cannot go wrong. If you’re into longer sets with a focus on telling a story, you’ve come to the right place, as the last four hours of the Crystal Garden stage on Saturday will see an exclusive Solomun & Four Tet set. Two of the most prolific veterans of House and Dance as a whole, coming together for an extended fun time.

Sunday

Tale Of Us

Freedom – 22:00 – 23:30

The Freedom stage will welcome an Afterlife residency on Sunday, so if you’re into their sound and wish to spend the entire day under their synths, it’s the place to be. The special mention, of course, goes to label founders Tale Of Us, who will close the stage with an hour-and-a-half set, anticipating what’s next in the sound of the genre trailblazers.

Korolova

Crystal Garden – 16:00 – 17:30

Korolova is a DJ you have to see at least once in your life. And her sound right now is super tasty, so if you’ve never caught her playing, this is your sign. Melodic, but also banging, her place in the Techno realm portrays a comprehensive blend of the best warm breaks, and the festival-ready beats.

DJ Diesel

The Library – 17:00 – 18:00

Not only is he Shaq, he’s also a beast behind the decks. DJ Diesel returns to Tomorrowland this year to throw a 60-minute set which will most likely be banger after banger after banger. The Dubstep sound suits him very well, and he enjoys producing and playing it. Last year he even joined the mosh pits in the crowd, so for both its sound and its community, you cannot miss this one.

Final Words

And that’s it! Did we miss anything? With only a few days left on the calendar, via this article we consider we’ve done our good deed now and will be back to packing our things for Belgium. See you there!
