History

Historical Context

Tomorrowland launched in Boom, Belgium in 2005, quickly becoming a template for multi-day EDM festivals. Its growth spurred similar large-scale events, exemplified by Insomniac Events’ $150 million global revenue in 2023 and EDC Las Vegas marking its 30th anniversary in 2024 with projected half-million attendees. Cities now invest in infrastructure to host such festivals.
