Martin Garrix: “Tomorrowland reached out to me and said they had this crazy idea to build the entire festival in virtual reality – like in a 3D world. At first, I was a bit like “let’s see”, but then they started sending me renders of how it was going to look. It was very futuristic and forward-thinking. I think Tomorrowland has always been doing that – it has always been thinking of how it can be one step ahead of any other festival.”

Tiësto: “It’s incredible that they pulled it off in such a short time. Hats off to Tomorrowland for the production, it looked unbelievable. It was also great to see the image of what Tomorrowland could look like if they could build an island somewhere in the Pacific.”

Dimitri Vegas: “In a way it has given us an opportunity to experiment and take it to the next level. This was not a livestream – this is something totally different. It’s amazing to see what technology can do."

Kölsch: “It was so crazy to see the actual end result – how beautiful it all turned out and how mesmerizing it was. It felt like being at an actual festival.”

Charlotte de Witte: “When Tomorrowland called me with the idea of this digital festival, I thought this could be really something – a way of bringing people together. If it cannot be in real life, let’s try to make the best of it in a very unique and virtual way. It’s extremely cool what they have done.”
