As Tomorrowland Brasil 2024 opened its beautiful realm from October 12–14, the enchanted universe of electronic dance music once more descended upon Itu, São Paulo. Inspired by “Adscendo,” this year’s edition carried over 150,000 People of Tomorrow into an amazing audiovisual voyage, attaining yet another festival milestone. Day 1: The Rise of ‘Adscendo’ The grandeur of the ‘Adscendo’ Mainstage enthralled visitors as the gates of Parque Maeda opened on Friday, October 12. Having traveled from Belgium, this architectural wonder proved evidence of Tomorrowland’s dedication to stretching artistic limits. After more than two years of painstaking preparation and workmanship, the stage welcomed festival attendees to start a hidden trip towards an unusual location. EDM giants such as AFROJACK, Armin van Buuren, and Hardwell came alive on the Mainstage, defining an amazing weekend. But it was more than just the primary draw; the festival grounds throbbed with vitality across several stages, each with a different ambiance and sound. The fabled CORE stage, which made its first visit to Brazil, was among the most awaited appearances. Tucked among the countryside, this venue offered a multi-sensory experience featuring acts by Bonobo and Dan Shake. Deeper, more contemplative electronic music found a suitable backdrop on the rocky stage set with natural elements. Day 2: Diving Deeper into the Electronic Realms The festival’s second day brought just more intensity. Making its Brazilian premiere following a remarkable run in Belgium, Budweiser’s Freedom Stage became a gathering place for techno and tech-house aficionados. This enormous indoor club presented an immersive experience unlike anything else, with its big dragonflies and enormous LED background. Stages like Youphoria and Tulip offered more private environments that let attendees explore several sides of electronic music. From the fairytale-like Tulip to the quirky mushroom-decorated Youphoria, every venue added to the magnificent tapestry of Tomorrowland Brasil. Day 3: A Grand Finale to Remember With all the stops, the last day of Tomorrowland Brasil 2024 delivered events that will live long in the memory of participants. The event worked with Brazilian powerhouse DJ Alok for a global debut to create an amazing drone performance. Six hundred drones illuminated the nighttime sky, representing oneness and connection—fundamental principles of the Tomorrowland experience. EDM giants like Alesso, Steve Aoki, and Don Diablo appeared on the Mainstage as the evening wore on. Belgian techno queen Charlotte de Witte took a great performance that aptly captured the essence of Tomorrowland, so closing out the event fell to her. Musical Highlights and Festival Atmosphere The sound of the best electronic music permeated the weekend. To suit every taste in the electronic spectrum, the festival’s soundtrack included underground techno tracks as well as large room anthems. Among the most often performed tunes were Adam Port and Stryv’s “Move ft. Malachiii,” the venerable “In My Mind” by Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl ft. Georgi Kay (Axwell Radio Edit), and the always popular “Freed From Desire” by Gala. The energetic environment produced by attendees from all around the world matched the variety of music. Representing the festival’s values of bringing people together via the universal language of electronic dance music, the People of Tomorrow gathered in a celebration of togetherness, love, and music. Looking back and beyond. It was evident as the last beats vanished and the lights darkened Tomorrowland Brasil 2024 that the festival had once more succeeded in building a magical and wonderful universe. Along with the technological wonder of the drone display, new stages like CORE and Freedom by Budweiser showed Tomorrowland’s dedication to creativity and stretching the bounds of what a music festival can offer. Tomorrowland has made full live sets available on YouTube and via the Tomorrowland App for those wishing to experience the enchantment; musicians including Adriatique, AFROJACK, Alok, Armin van Buuren, and many more feature here. The memories of “Adscendo” will linger long after we say goodbye to Tomorrowland Brasil 2024, reminding us of the ability of music to unify, inspire, and carry us to worlds other than our own. The spirit of Tomorrowland lives in the hearts of the People of Tomorrow, yearning for the next chapter in this remarkable musical trip next time.

Kygo’s eponymous world tour is about more than one man. His story can’t be told without collaboration, a plot point the legendary producer is highlighting around the globe. Kygo landed in Vancouver, British Columbia on October 10th as part of the ongoing Kygo World Tour. The Norwegian DJ did not pack light, bringing along several friends with whom he’s crafted global dance hits. Collaborators Parson James, Justin Jesso and Zak Abel all performed in Vancouver as well as dance music producer Vandelux and chart-topping songstress Zara Larsson. Most tour dates are supported by two of the following eight musicians: Sam Feldt, Larsson, Gryffin, Sofi Tukker, HAYLA, Vandelux, Victoria Nadine and Klangkarussell. Kygo sprinkled intimate moments with the audience between sharing the spotlight. He regularly played an electronic keyboard during his set but commanded attention most when sitting at the grand piano front and center. His piano strokes were a frequent highlight, especially when accompanied by singers or a stunning sextet of violinists. The grand finale incorporated many of these elements with the addition of marching percussionists. Kygo playing piano at Rogers Arena in VancouverJeff Vinnick Images Kygo’s production included two elevating platforms, pyrotechnics, lasers, confetti and synchronized light-up crowd bracelets. Thursday’s headliner shared the wealth of these production elements. Each collaborator had a standout moment during the show. Jesso performed multiple songs, including his 2017 collaboration "Stargazing." A highlight moment was when he invited a fan (shoutout to Jessica) onstage to perform the track and jam with the musical duo. James got the awards show treatment as a camera followed him from backstage at Rogers Arena to the stage while performing their global hit “Stole the Show.” Abel performed both “Freedom” and “For Life” with Kygo. Arguably the show’s most memorable visual saw Kygo and Abel playing piano and singing, respectively, on an elevating platform as overhead lasers beamed a cone around them. Zak Abel and Kygo performing at Rogers Arena in VancouverJeff Vinnick Images Kygo is one of the most globally recognized electronic musicians, boasting multiple songs exceeding one billion Spotify streams. Kygo acknowledges his broad reach with a wonderful variety act. Timeless dance music tracks, pyrotechnics, live singers and instrumentalists and—in Larsson’s case—a full-blown pop concert come together seamlessly. There’s something for everyone. If you head to Kygo’s tour to sing your heart out to “It Ain’t Me” or “Higher Love,” you won’t be disappointed but rewarded tenfold. The tour celebrates a remarkable 11-year career and acknowledges that success isn’t built alone. A party is more fun with friends after all.

Channeling the energy of the greatest NBA team of all-time, Sherm and Rich DietZ have reunited for a new dance anthem, "96 BullZ." Out now via Hood Politics Records, this tech house juggernaut is a swaggering reimagination of the Chicago Bulls' classic theme song, "Sirius." It's a time machine disguised as a rave anthem, teleporting you courtside to the electric atmosphere of that legendary Bulls championship squad, all while keeping your feet firmly planted on today's dancefloor. "We've always said Hood Politics Records was like the '96 Bulls," Rich DietZ said. "It only felt right to make this track with Mr. Chicago himself, Sherm." "96 Bullz" demands your attention like His Airness staring down a defender in crunch time. The production is crisp, driven by a bassline that rumbles with the warmth of the United Center during a playoff run. Meanwhile, snippets of MJ's wisdom punctuate the groove as Sherm and DietZ's kickdrums stomp through the mix. While the concept could have easily veered into gimmick territory, the producers maintain a delicate balance, creating an artful track that works both as a tribute and a standalone house banger. "96 Bullz" succeeds in bridging generations, offering something for both nostalgic sports fans and electronic music enthusiasts alike.

Imagine walking into the Gashouder, the massive industrial dome that usually pulses with thousands of ravers, but this time has an atmosphere that feels different—intimate and almost personal. With the DJ booth set in the center, surrounded by the audience on all sides, you’re not just watching the artist—you become a part of the experience, and the music wraps around you like a warm pulsing wave, pulling you in deeper with every beat. If this sounds like something that you’d like to be a part of, then Upclose ADE | presents Four Tet this Friday is exactly what you are looking for. Known for its large-scale productions, massive venues, and cutting-edge lineups, Awakenings has built a global reputation for delivering unforgettable experiences (read about Awakenings Festival 2024 here). One of the reasons behind the event organization’s success is its ability to adapt and evolve, and their Upclose concept is a true testament to that. As a part of the broader Awakenings offering, Upclose departs from the massive warehouse setting and focuses on a celebration of intimacy and musical exploration. The idea is simple, yet profound: bring the audience closer to the artist both physically and sonically, to create a more immersive and personal experience. Something that isn’t about the spectacle but about connection—between the music, artist, and the crowd. With Four Tet leading the charge this year, the audience will witness how he transforms the greatness of the Gashouder into something much more personal. Known for his ability to create complex, emotional soundscapes that blur the lines between genres, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) is expected to deliver a set that is introspective and mesmerizing, weaving delicate rhythms and atmospheric textures into the venue’s rich acoustic environment. Saoirse, on the other hand, who will also be performing during Upclose ADE | presents Four Tet, is known for her ability to keep the crowds on their toes and switch between styles and tempos, ensuring that the energy in the room remains electric. The audience can therefore prepare itself for an evening that feels intimate, yet charged with excitement. Upclose ADE | presents Four Tet, taking place at the Gashouder this Friday between 15:00 – 21:30, is shaping up to be one of the most memorable events of ADE 2024. Make sure that you don’t miss out by securing your ticket here.

Hosted by Awakenings and powered by Jägermeister, this marathon runs from 00:00 to 05:00, and the audience can expect an unforgettable performance. KI/KI, an Amsterdam-based DJ, has quickly risen as a leading figure in the techno and rave scenes. Starting out as a resident at the renowned Spielraum in 2018, she has since performed at legendary venues like Bassiani and Boiler Room. Her music blends fast-paced trance, acid, and techno, creating a sound that’s both futuristic and nostalgic. KI/KI is also the founder of Slash, a label promoting her work and that of other like-minded producers.

As the record-breaking Sphere continues to redefine entertainment in Las Vegas, a doppelgänger is poised to do the same in Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates capital is set to become the second location to build a Sphere venue after the structure's proprietors, Sphere Entertainment, reached an agreement with the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism. "The vision for Sphere has always included a global network of venues, and today’s announcement is a significant milestone toward that goal," James L. Dolan, the company's Executive Chairman and CEO, said in a press release. "Sphere is redefining live entertainment and extending the reach of its transformative impact. We are proud to collaborate with DCT Abu Dhabi to develop Sphere in their city." At 366 feet tall and 516 feet wide, the $2.3 billion orb in Vegas is the world's biggest spherical structure. Inside, a bleeding-edge concert venue projects mind-boggling graphics on the world's largest and highest-resolution wraparound LED screen, which extends over and behind the crowd.

Located in a "prime spot" in the Abu Dhabi metropolis, the new venue is said to emulate the size and scale of its counterpart in Sin City, which has a capacity of 20,000. The Vegas Sphere generated over $1 billion in revenue in the fiscal year since its grand opening. In other Vegas Sphere news, Anyma was recently confirmed as the pioneering venue's first-ever electronic music headliner. Collectively billed as "The End of Genesys," a reference to the superstar DJ's stunning audiovisual brand and albums of the same name, the historic residency comprises eight shows: December 27th to January 1st and January 10th to 11th.

Zedd has been honored by the City and County of San Francisco with a day in his own name. October 12th, 2024 is now "Zedd Day" in the City by the Bay, according to the superstar DJ, who announced the official proclamation this week. Issued by Mayor London Breed, it lauds Zedd as "an integral part of the San Francisco performing arts community." Mayoral proclamations are typically issued for the purpose of public awareness, education or civic duties. Save for FISHER's day in Vegas, they are rare in the music industry, so Zedd celebrated by showing his off during a set at San Francisco's famed Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. apparently @LondonBreed has proclaimed it “Zedd Day” in san francisco pic.twitter.com/raJ0WhnhgY — Dan Garon (@dangaron) October 13, 2024 Fresh off the release of Telos, his first album in nearly a decade, Zedd is riding a hot streak of 14 sold-out concerts at Bill Graham, where he's performed for roughly 100,000 people over the course of nine years, according to the venue.

Sphere Entertainment, the company behind the innovative Las Vegas Sphere, is expanding its reach to the Middle East. The company has confirmed its plans to build a new Sphere venue in Abu Dhabi. The Abu Dhabi Sphere will be very similar in scale to the Las Vegas venue, offering a capacity of 20,000. This is the first official confirmation of the brand’s expansion outside Nevada, after rumors of them bringing a rounded building to London, and the confirmation of a smaller sphere in Dubai which won’t belong to Sphere Entertainment. The expansion into Abu Dhabi aligns with the growing interest in the Middle East and North Africa as a music market. The region has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by factors such as increased internet penetration and rising disposable income. “The vision for Sphere has always included a global network of venues, and today’s announcement is a significant milestone toward that goal”, said James L. Dolan, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sphere Entertainment. Sphere Entertainment’s partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi will bring a new level of entertainment to the city. The company’s expertise in technology and content creation will be instrumental in creating unforgettable experiences for visitors. The new Sphere venue is expected to attract a wide range of audiences and contribute to Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a global entertainment destination.
