Full Story
Tomorrowland is returning to the U.S. for the first time in nearly a decade. This time, the iconic music festival is doing it in high-tech style.
In a bold comeback move, Tomorrowland is teaming up with promoter Insomniac, which is best known for organizing the Electric Daisy Carnival, to launch a new immersive experience called UNITY. The three-night show will take place at the cutting-edge Sphere in Las Vegas, known for its 18,600-seat capacity and 360-degree visuals.
The collaboration will see two of the world’s most influential electronic music festival brands joining forces for a U.S. residency.
Inside the UNITY experience
UNITY promises to push boundaries by blending technology, storytelling and music. The experience will feature groundbreaking set design, next-level visual effects and even a live orchestra. Each night will close with a surprise one-hour set by a world-renowned artist.
The show will run exclusively over Labor Day weekend from Aug. 29-31. Presale tickets for UNITY will go live on March 31.
While some fans picked up on the collaboration early, thanks to cryptic Instagram posts and a particularly observant Reddit user, the official announcement confirms what many hoped: Tomorrowland is back.
What happened during the last Tomorrowland event in the US?
This return comes with history.
Tomorrowland’s last U.S. appearance ended in controversy. The festival launched its American spinoff, TomorrowWorld, in 2013 outside Atlanta, Georgia. For two years, it drew massive crowds from across the globe, billing itself as the future of EDM in the United States.
But in 2015, disaster struck.
Severe storms turned the venue into a mud-soaked nightmare. Thousands of attendees were left stranded without transportation, food or shelter. The logistical breakdown forced organizers to restrict access on the final day of the event, and it ultimately led to the festival’s swift disappearance from the U.S. scene.
Now, with the Sphere’s state-of-the-art infrastructure and Insomniac’s proven track record, UNITY seeks to mark a redemption story. And perhaps a new chapter for Tomorrowland in America.
Whether it lives up to the hype — or the healing — remains to be seen.
