Tomorrowland Once Again Voted the World’s Best Festival

Tomorrowland Belgium has once again claimed the title of the World’s No. 1 Festival on DJ Mag‘s poll. This prestigious recognition comes as no surprise, considering the festival’s consistent ability to captivate both fans and artists alike with its unrivaled stage production, star-studded line-ups, and global appeal.

The 2023 Top 100 Festivals poll, which took place between April 26th and June 21st, saw an impressive number of over 100,000 verified votes cast. The poll, which shifted to a public vote format for the first time last year, has become a highly anticipated event for festival enthusiasts worldwide.

At the recent Adscendo event, held this year, Tomorrowland drew in an astounding crowd of over 400,000 individuals who gathered to celebrate love, music, and unity. Spread across an impressive 16 stages, the festival provided an unparalleled experience to attendees, featuring over 750 electronic music artists who delivered unforgettable performances.

As the festival continues to dominate the global festival scene, Tomorrowland’s influence extends far beyond its host country of Belgium. The festival has become a symbol of unity and a celebration of music that transcends language and cultural barriers, fostering connections and friendships that last a lifetime.

With its impressive track record and unwavering commitment to delivering an extraordinary experience, it’s no wonder that Tomorrowland remains the unrivaled champion of the festival world. As fans eagerly await the next edition of this iconic event, one thing is certain: Tomorrowland will continue to redefine what it means to be the world’s greatest festival.

Manu and Michiel Beers, the founders and owners of Tomorrowland, expressed their elation as the festival earned the prestigious title of World’s No. 1 Festival in the DJ Mag Top 100 Festivals 2023. Reflecting on this achievement, they shared their heartfelt gratitude towards the public, festival goers, and DJ Mag readers for bestowing this honor upon them. The owners said: “We are delighted to once again receive this recognition from the public, festival goers and DJ Mag readers. What once started as a dream, took wings thanks to the tireless efforts of a passionate young team and the enthusiasm and unconditional support of the Tomorrowland community, the People of Tomorrow. We are already looking forward to the 20th anniversary next year but now we are getting ready for the return to Brazil in a few weeks.”
