Despite a dramatic fire that destroyed Tomorrowland’s iconic Orbyz Mainstage on July 16, 2025, the festival rose stronger than ever. Organizers built a substitute stage in under 48 hours—thanks to emergency efforts and assistance, including stage parts donated by Metallica—ensuring the party continued uninterrupted. No injuries were reported, and all 15 other stages across the site remained intact. Spanning two weekends from July 18–27, the festival attracted around 400,000 fans across 16 stages—a true testament to Tomorrowland’s global scale and loyal following.
People say festivals are built with stages. But Tomorrowland is built on its people—the People of Tomorrowland—the DJs, music lovers, families, crews, and communities that make it unforgettable. In 2025, even a massive blaze couldn’t derail the magic. Through swift action and unity, Tomorrowland reaffirmed its reputation as the gold standard of raves.
Here are the 10 most played songs that defined the 2025 edition:
