Living the Dream: My First Set at Tomorrowland 2025

Last weekend, I got to live out one of the biggest dreams a young DJ could ever imagine — I played a set at Tomorrowland 2025, one of the most iconic electronic music festivals in the world. 

But this wasn't just any edition of Tomorrowland. It was a special one.
On Wednesday evening — just days before my performance — a fire destroyed the iconic mainstage. I was in a studio practising my set when I heard the devastating news. At first, I thought the festival might be cancelled and that my dream would go up in smoke.

But the Tomorrowland crew did something incredible. In less than two days, they built a brand-new mainstage. It was a miracle, and a true example of their dedication and creativity. The entire team was also so kind and helpful. They guided us through the Artist Village, Media Village, backstage and on stage. Getting shuttled to the Rise Stage in a golf cart was such an exciting moment — I felt like I was living a movie.

When it was finally time to perform, the nerves kicked in. But once I pressed play, everything just clicked. The crowd was bigger than I had dared to hope. People danced, cheered, and shared videos on TikTok and Instagram. Seeing so many reactions online made everything even more magical.

One of my biggest idols, Timmy Trumpet, even commented on my video. That was a surreal moment — it gave me goosebumps. After the set, my social media exploded, and I gained thousands of new followers in just a few days.

It wasn't just the crowd that supported me — the press noticed too. I went live on StuBru, recorded a vlog for Nws Nws Nws, appeared on Karrewiet, and did a video interview with DJ Mag. For a young DJ like me, this kind of exposure is huge.

In the Artist Village, I also met Lost Frequencies, Novah, Dimitri Vegas, and Omdat Het Kan & Average Rob. Just being in that environment with so many incredible artists felt like a dream.

One of the moments that meant the most was hearing that my mentor at the Tomorrowland Academy, Chesny Wielemans (Hyalyte) was proud of me. We've worked together for three years now, and he's been a big part of my journey. His support and feedback mean the world to me.

My story began at a school party in Dilbeek when I was 11. Since then, I've followed several bootcamps at the Tomorrowland Academy, played at festivals like Oosthoek Live and Burumba, and later this summer I'll perform at Peloes Festival in Schepdaal (Saturday 9 August).

What's next? I hope to get the chance to perform at other big festivals and keep growing as a DJ and music producer. And if Tomorrowland ever invites me again in 2026 — I'll be ready.

To everyone who supported me: thank you. This is only the beginning!
