🇺🇸Dreamstate SoCal

Tomorrowland is the world's largest electronic dance festival, held every late July at De Schorre municipal park in Boom, Belgium across two consecutive weekends. Founded in 2005 by brothers Manu and Michiel Beers (originally an ID&T production), the festival's first edition was a single-day event on 15 August 2005 that drew roughly 9,000 attendees; today it draws approximately 200,000 visitors per weekend (around 70,000 per day) across some fifteen stages, including the Mainstage, Freedom, Atmosphere, Core, and Q-Dance. The dedicated A State of Trance stage debuted on Friday 28 July 2017 (Weekend 2), hosted by Armin van Buuren with the bill including Ruben de Ronde b2b Rodg, Ben Gold, David Gravell, Orjan Nilsen, MaRLo, Andrew Rayel and NWYR, and has returned in subsequent editions. Armin van Buuren has been a recurring Tomorrowland headliner since the inaugural 2005 edition. The 2026 festival is officially announced for July 17–19 and 24–26.

EDC Las Vegas is Insomniac's flagship US festival — three nights at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway each May, drawing more than 500,000 attendees across the weekend in 2024 (it is the largest electronic dance music festival in North America). EDC was founded in 1997 by Pasquale Rotella at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles and relocated to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2011. The festival is organised around themed stages including the kineticFIELD main stage and circuitGROUNDS. The dedicated trance stage, quantumVALLEY, debuted in 2017 and is presented in partnership with Insomniac's Dreamstate brand, programmed across the uplifting, progressive, tech, and psy-trance spectrum. Aly & Fila have played quantumVALLEY repeatedly (including 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022) and Andrew Rayel has appeared in recent editions; Paul van Dyk, Gareth Emery and Darude are confirmed on the 2026 quantumVALLEY bill, while Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond have appeared on the kineticFIELD main stage. The 2027 edition has been officially announced as the festival's first two-weekend format (14–16 + 21–23 May).

Ultra Music Festival is the flagship Ultra brand event, founded in Miami in 1999 by Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes as a one-day beach show at Collins Park, Miami Beach, on March 13, 1999. The festival relocated to Bayfront Park in downtown Miami in 2001 and has run there every late March since, now staged as a three-day event in conjunction with Miami Music Week. Trance has been a fixture of the Miami event since 2011, when the festival's first dedicated A State of Trance stage hosted the ASOT 500 celebration on March 27, 2011. The ASOT stage has run almost every year since, with Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk, and Andrew Rayel as recurring closers. Carl Cox first appeared at Ultra Miami in 2001, and the Carl Cox & Friends arena (launched in 2005) evolved into the Resistance stage and Megastructure concept that now anchors the festival's house and techno programming. Ultra expanded to Europe in 2013 with the inaugural Ultra Europe in Split, Croatia, originally at the Poljud Stadium (2013-2018) before relocating in 2019 to the adjacent Park Mladeži, where the festival has remained. Ultra Europe runs each mid-July as a three-night main festival, followed by the Destination Ultra island events that extend the run across Brač, Hvar, and Vis using Split as a base — Ultra Beach on Hvar, the Regatta Party and Resistance sessions on Brač, and closing parties traditionally inside Fort George on Vis.

Tomorrowland Winter is the ski-resort sister event to the main Belgian summer festival, held at Alpe d'Huez in the French Alps. The week-long festival combines daytime skiing on the resort's slopes with evening stage productions in the same elaborate Tomorrowland aesthetic, with a mainstage and several themed stages distributed between mid-mountain locations (reached by gondola) and the resort town itself. The inaugural edition ran 13–15 March 2019 under the theme 'Hymn of the Frozen Lotus' and sold roughly 30,000 tickets across the music programme. The 2020 edition was cancelled by the French government on 5 March 2020 due to COVID-19, and the 2021 edition was cancelled on 6 October 2020 for the same reason. The festival returned in 2022 (19–26 March) with a scaled-back indoor mainstage configuration, then 2023 (18–25 March, ~18,000 visitors) and 2024 (16–23 March, ~18,000 ticket allocation). In November 2023 the Alpe d'Huez municipal council authorised renewal of the partnership for a further five editions through 2030, including provisions for an enlarged outdoor mainstage. Armin van Buuren, Above &amp; Beyond, Tiësto, and Cosmic Gate have headlined recurring editions; see the broader <a href="/events/tomorrowland">Tomorrowland</a> summer entry for the parent festival.
