We couldn’t get enough of it then. We still can’t get enough of it.
This was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of the entire Tomorrowland 2024 festival. Weeks ahead of time, Dance music icon Hardwell ran a poll on his social media channels, letting fans and followers know he would be playing not only at the Mainstage but also had a slot on the Freedom Stage, in which he would play a different set, given the name of the booth.
Among the options, the clear winner was the Throwback EDM Set, which promised to relive all those golden classics we loved, danced to, sang our lungs out to, and even cried to, around ten full years ago. And so he got to work with it, unearthing the best mashups and tracks from yesteryear. And boy, was it a beautiful set.
Hardwell’s Throwback EDM Set @ Tomorrowland
We promise you, it was gemstone after gemstone, and singalong after singalong. Our only complaint is that it was only an hour long.
But those 60 minutes were an ABSOLUTE HIGH for everyone, both physical attendees, Hardwell himself, and even those who were tuning in to the livestream from around the world. Robbert’s set was a walk down memory lane, from the get-go, with his Tomorrowland 2015 intro. Some of the tracks that were played include Showtek and Justin Prime’s ‘Cannonball‘, Krewella’s ‘Alive‘, Armin van Buuren’s ‘Ping Pong‘, the mythical unofficial golden EDM anthem ‘Mammoth‘, and many, many more.
Check the full tracklist via 1001Tracklists, or simply play the video and enjoy jumping into this beautiful hole, completely blindfolded. Do us a favour and note down the amount of goosebumps you might get. It was pure fan service, although seeing Hardwell smile like he hadn’t in years makes it 100 times better.
