Due to high demand and such high volume of ticket sales and attendees, the return of two weekends is the best option for 2017. Back in 2014, Tomorrowland first expanded the festival to two weekends but returned to the one-weekend fest in 2015 and this year. That’s about to change once again this upcoming year during July 21st to the 23rd and July 28th to the 30th, 2017. Approved by local government in Boom, Belgium, the mystical festival is ready for two rounds:
“The purpose of this [hosting the festival in 2 weekends] is to meet the huge demand for tickets from international and local fans. Meanwhile, with the blessing of the municipalities of Boom & Rumst, we can go ahead and start preparing for 2 weekends as of next summer.”
The last time Tomorrowland had expanded into two weekends was in 2014 to celebrate the festivals 10 year anniversary, so we’re in for quite the treat again in 2017. Expanding into two weekends has been quite the norm for music festivals nowadays with high capacities, but is it worth it? Insomniac’s annual Electric Forest recently moved forward with two weekends, and Coachella has been doing it since 2012, but Ultra only dabbled with it in once 2013. We can assure you one thing, there will be more tickets to go around for everyone!
Here is how the announcement described the series, Every single year Electrical Forest collaborates
with fellow musical tastemakers from around the globe to consider part in curating the lineup and vibe
of a distinct stage each and every night, making special musical experiences inside the festival itself.” Below are descriptions of every single
night’s Curated Occasion, headed by EF partners Anjunadeep, BASSRUSH, Night Bass, Soul Clap and All Excellent Information.
