TomorrowWorld

TomorrowWorld 


TomorrowWorld is a large electronic music festival held in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. TomorrowWorld, as Tomorrowland, is organized by ID&T Belgium, owned by two brothers: Manu and Michiel Beers. ID&T Belgium used to be a joint venture with ID&T Holland, however, the two brothers bought out all the shares after ID&T Holland was sold to SFX, an American entertainment company. The festival resides in the town of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, 25 miles southwest of Atlanta, and has taken place since 2013. In its inaugural year, TomorrowWorld received a nomination for Best Music Event at the International Dance Music Awards.^[1]

In March 2013, ID&T and SFX Entertainment announced that it would start holding an American spin-off of Tomorrowland, known as TomorrowWorld.^[2] The festival is held at the Bouckaert's Farm in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, located 25 miles southwest of Atlanta.^[3] The site was specifically chosen due to its resemblance to the Boom location, where Tomorrowland is traditionally held.

In June 2013, festival organizers revealed the "Book of Wisdom" design from Tomorrowland 2012 would be reused as the main stage for the inaugural edition of TomorrowWorld.^[4] The "Book of Wisdom" was chosen as the main stage, according to organizers, because it was symbolic of Tomorrowland writing the next chapter of its storied history in the United States.

During the final week of September of that year, over 140,000 people gathered at Bouckaert's Farm to listen to the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Hardwell and more than 300 other EDM artists performing on eight different stages.^[5] Nearly 30,000 individuals stayed on site at the TomorrowWorld campground, known as Dreamville.^[6] All told, people from seventy-five different countries and all fifty U.S. states attended the inaugural TomorrowWorld festival.
