From a small event to international sensation

What began as an event in Belgium has transcended borders, bringing together thousands of people from different countries to share the magic of electronic music. The Beers Brothers created not just a musical event, but an immersive experience that combines spectacular stages, cutting-edge technology, and, of course, the best music from world-renowned DJs.

Before Tomorrowland

Before the global phenomenon that is Tomorrowland, the Beers brothers, Manu and Michiel, honed their event organization skills in their native Belgium. Their journey began with humble roots, notably Manu organizing a party for the Boy Scouts in 1997.

This initial foray into event planning sparked a passion that led them to curate club nights within Antwerp, followed by popular student parties, including the notable "Antwerp is Burning." In 1998, they formalized their efforts by establishing "Lineup Productions," laying the groundwork for their future, more ambitious projects.

These early experiences in local parties and club events were instrumental in shaping their vision and providing the foundation for the creation of what would eventually become the internationally renowned Tomorrowland festival.

Innovation to inspire the best

The most impressive thing about Tomorrowland is how each edition impacts the audience in a unique way. The innovative stage designs, visual projections, and high-quality music mix create an atmosphere that is not only heard, but felt. Attendees not only enjoy the music, but also experience a total sensory experience that makes them part of a spectacle that goes beyond what they expect from a traditional festival.

THE DRIVING FORCE

The driving force behind Tomorrowland's unparalleled festival experience is rooted in the Beers brothers' early forays into event organization, ignited by Manu's initial party for the Boy Scouts. Their passion for electronic music, coupled with a desire to transcend the typical festival format, propelled them to envision an immersive, fantastical realm. Inspired by the vibrant Dutch festival scene, they sought to fill a void in Belgium, crafting a space where attendees could escape reality and unite through music. This vision, born from a blend of youthful enthusiasm and a deep appreciation for the electronic music landscape, has blossomed into the magical world of Tomorrowland, consistently praised for its extraordinary production value and unifying atmosphere.

Loyalty from cult level to global religion

This event has achieved something many only dream of: a loyal fan base that not only eagerly awaits each edition, but also feels that each event marks a milestone in their lives. The magic of Tomorrowland lies in its ability to connect people from different cultures and countries, creating a global community united by the love of music.

The festival has grown from attendances of 10,000 people in 2005, to attendances of 400,000 people in recent years, with tickets selling out. The event is an international sensation. The international being key. People love the unity promoted for people from every culture and continent.

Creativity without limitation

Over the years, the Beers Brothers have continued to innovate, surprising their audiences with new visual and auditory experiences, which has generated worldwide recognition. Since its inception, Tomorrowland has evolved in size, creativity, and relevance, establishing itself as one of the most iconic festivals on the planet.

Tomorrowland consistently garners public acclaim for its unparalleled creativity, transcending the typical music festival experience. Commentators frequently highlight the festival's immersive storytelling, where intricate narratives and detailed "lore" transform the event into a living fantasy.

The sheer scale and artistry of its stage designs, often incorporating theatrical elements and cutting-edge technology, draw widespread admiration. Attendees and critics alike remark on the meticulous attention to detail that permeates every facet of the festival, contributing to an atmosphere of wonder and enchantment. Tomorrowland's innovative approach, pushing the boundaries of festival production, solidifies its reputation as a trendsetter, creating a magical, dreamlike environment that leaves a lasting impression.

“Tomorrowland by Brothers Beer inspires me for my events with a force akin to being the touchpoint of two planets colliding.” - Marco Zeledon

Tomorrowland has inspired cinematic movement producing and having been the subject of various films and documentaries. Here are a couple of notable examples:

"This Was Tomorrow: Tomorrowland Presents..." (2015)

This documentary marked the 10th anniversary of Tomorrowland and explores the impact of the festival and electronic dance music on people around the world.

"One Year" (2024)

This is a more recent film, that shows the events of the Tomorrowland brand throughout the entirety of 2024. It shows the festivals from around the world, and gives behind the scenes looks into the festival.

"We Are Tomorrow"

This is a shorter cinematic production that tells the stories of individuals and their connection to Tomorrowland.

The next chapter of Tomorrowland will be told in Belgium
