In a bold and inspiring move, Tomorrowland 2025 will feature performances by young DJs aged between 10 and 17, making it one of the most inclusive editions of the festival yet. Through a collaboration with the Tomorrowland Academy, 11 rising talents from Belgium, Ukraine, and the UK have been selected to showcase their skills on some of the festival’s iconic stages.
Performing Across the Festival Grounds
These young artists won’t be playing in side tents, they’ll take to the decks at well-known stages including Cage, Rise, House of Fortune, The Rave Cave, and The Gathering at DreamVille. This opportunity gives them early exposure to Tomorrowland’s massive audience and an unmatched platform to grow their presence in the global dance music scene.
Tomorrowland Academy’s DJ-Kids Bootcamp
To prepare for the spotlight, Tomorrowland Academy is hosting a DJ-Kids bootcamp from July 7th to 11th. Held at Den Oven, just 200 meters from the main festival site at De Schorre, the camp will offer week-long professional DJ workshops to train the next generation of selectors. Participants will also have the chance to perform at Tomorrowland’s Neighborhood Party on July 23rd.
A Festival That Keeps Evolving
This move reflects Tomorrowland’s commitment to nurturing young talent while continuously reinventing the festival experience. As the festival celebrates its 19th edition in 2025, it also builds on its legacy as a forward-thinking global event that embraces creativity at every age.
What to Expect in 2025
Set for July 18–20 and July 25–27, Tomorrowland 2025 will return to its longtime home in Boom, Belgium, under the theme “Orbyz”. The lineup features heavyweights like Martin Garrix, Charlotte de Witte, David Guetta, Hardwell, Amelie Lens, and Armin van Buuren, with Swedish House Mafia, Anyma, Solomun, Meduza, and many more completing the bill.
A New Generation of DJs Begins
As Tomorrowland continues to expand its reach and evolve, its support of youth through the Tomorrowland Academy shows the festival’s dedication to the future of electronic music. Giving these young DJs a chance to play alongside global icons marks a new chapter, and a powerful message: the next generation is already here.
