Tomorrowland, one of the world's largest and most influential electronic music festivals, is staging its first-ever indoor show in China on Nov 22-23, bringing an immersive blend of music, storytelling and cutting-edge technology to Shanghai's waterfront.

Launched in 2005 in Boom, Belgium, the festival now welcomes around 400,000 attendees each July across two weekends. Known for its world-class lineups, imaginative stage design and iconic themes, Tomorrowland attracts fans from all over the world.

Now, the brand has arrived in Shanghai with "The Magic of Tomorrowland", held at the newly built Hero Dome on the Bund in Huangpu district. Under the theme "Paperworld", the show will blend Tomorrowland's world-renowned production with cutting-edge technology and cultural artistry, inviting audiences to enjoy fantastic live entertainment and cocreate a shared journey with imagination, sound and technology.

The show will feature a dazzling lineup of global artists. Headlining the show is the global electronic music superstar Dimitri Vegas. One half of the globally acclaimed duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Vegas is known for his explosive festival anthems and electrifying main stage energy. Vegas has headlined Tomorrowland's major festivals before, and has won many prestigious awards such as the DJ Mag Top 100.

As a commanding force in modern techno — a fast, heavy style of electronic dance music — and consistently ranked in DJ Mag's Top 100, Amelie Lens will also join the line-up to ignite a night of celebration. Lens has risen from the heart of the Belgian scene to become a global headliner revered for her powerful, driving and hypnotic sound.

The Dutch future house pioneer Don Diablo, who has also been consistently ranked among the top of DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs, will blend his own anthemic hits with a forward-thinking selection of tracks, presenting immersive, high-energy live experiences.

Among the other global artists sparking widespread discussion are Chris Lorenzo, a leading figure in UK tech house who is renowned for his signature, low-end impact and dynamic rhythmic shifts, and the Belgian drum and bass prodigy Andromedik, known for his cinematic melodies and dynamic power.
