Tomorrowland is giving aspiring DJs the opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to win a DJ set at this year’s Tomorrowland Brasil. Successful entrants will perform alongside “the world’s top artists” at The Gathering, the festival’s official open-air opening party, taking place at DreamVille on October 9th.
How to Enter
Applicants must be signed up to the Tomorrowland Online Academy and are invited to create a 30–45 minute mixtape that showcases their skills. The official guidelines encourage DJs to dig deep into music databases to uncover hidden gems, maintain clean yet engaging transitions, and avoid long blends that might make the mix feel dull.
The Extra Step: Motivational Video
In addition to the mixtape, DJs must submit a motivational video introducing themselves and sharing their ambitions. Both the mixtape and video can be submitted via the Tomorrowland Academy website.
What’s Waiting in São Paulo
The fourth edition of Tomorrowland Brasil will take place from October 10th to 12th at its usual home, Parque Maeda in Itu, São Paulo. More than 100 artists will perform across six stages, with confirmed names including Vintage Culture, ANNA, Zerb, Cashu, and Bárbara Boeing. Global stars such as Armin van Buuren, Axwell, Nicky Romero, and KASIA are also set to play.
Tomorrowland’s Growing Global Footprint
This DJ competition follows other Academy-led initiatives, such as last month’s inclusion of young DJs aged 10–17 at Tomorrowland Belgium. Recently crowned World’s No. 1 Festival in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Festivals poll for the fifth time, Tomorrowland continues to expand worldwide, with upcoming editions in Thailand under a five-year deal, as well as CORE events in Los Angeles, Medellín, and Naarm/Melbourne in 2026.
