This Saturday and Sunday Tomorrowland is set to take over the digital landscape. Dubbed Tomorrowland Around The World—this year's iteration features over sixty artists spread over eight original 3D designed stages. The festival aims to set the new gold standard for online events.

Unlike other quarantine live stream events Tomorrowland will prominently feature hour long sets simultaneously broadcasting across all eight stages. Although it may result in some fans only catching partial segments of an artists sets the packed schedule will help create the illusion of real life festival. Regardless of your personal musical leanings Tomorrowland will offer something for every EDM for the entirety of its six hour daily stream.

Day one begins with an hour and a half daybreak session from Oliver Heldens on the Mainstage before the Freedom stage really steals the day. The big pull for day one is the world premier of Tiesto's new alias, Ver:West: a melodic house project with heavy trance influences. That same day David Guetta's Jack Back alias takes on the Freedom Stage, and Eric Prydz closes the night with a new audio visual experience known as the [CELL.]. Aside from the name details about Prydz's new immersive set are sparse...fans will have to tune in as his visuals never disappoint.

Day two offers a big dose of trance and big room. W&W's trance focused side project NWYR follows fan favourite Dash Berlin on the Freedom stage. Elixir Club holds down heavy house vibes all day, and the Mainstage goes big with Don Diablo early in the day, before Martin Garrix closes out the festival.

Weekend passes are twenty Euros, while single day passes go for 12.50 Euros. Aside from music the festival is set to offer a range of interactive experiences, including; webinars, games and workshops on topics ranging from lifestyle/food, to fashion. Your weekend pass will also provide you with access to all the sets after the live festival stream ends from July 27 until August 2.

Will Tomorrowland Around The World re-define the digital festival landscape? Or will it come and go without notice? Regardless, the idea has peaked our interest...and we believe there are more than a few artists/sets that are worth checking out.

Check out this must-see video created by Funny Or Die starring Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Ryan Hemsworth, Desctructo and more

Funny Or Die created a must-see video starring some of the biggest names within the scene. The concept is a spoof on the CBS drama NCIS appropriately called "NCIS: Ibiza". The list of artists included in this project is long as Steve Aoki, Axwell ^ Ingrosso, Borgore, Brazzabelle, Crookers, Destructo, Martin Garrix, Gladiator, Ryan Hemsworth, Keys N Krates, Moby, Ookay, R3hab, Nile Rodgers, What So Not, and Alison Wonderland are all involved. We see our fair share of bad acting and cheesy plot lines in this video which makes it a perfect Funny Or Die production, enjoy: 

It's fair to say that Ryan Hemsworth is the real MVP of this video.
