The skyline of Shanghai is about to shimmer with a whole new kind of light — not from its glittering skyscrapers or neon towers, but from lasers, fireworks, and the collective pulse of thousands moving in rhythm under the spell of The Magic of Tomorrowland in Shanghai.
Presented by Tomorrowland, in collaboration with Hero Esports, INS Land, and title sponsor Budweiser, this monumental event promises to fuse the heart of European festival culture with the energy and elegance of Shanghai’s waterfront nightlife.
For the first time, China will experience the full sensory immersion that has made Tomorrowland the world’s most beloved electronic music festival — a dreamlike convergence of sound, art, and emotion.
And because demand has been nothing short of extraordinary, Tomorrowland has officially announced two unforgettable nights — November 22 and 23, 2025 — bringing the world’s biggest electronic artists together for an indoor spectacle that redefines what live music can feel like.
Tomorrowland has long been the pinnacle of global electronic culture — born in Boom, Belgium, and evolved into a global movement of unity, creativity, and freedom. From its humble beginnings in 2005 to hosting hundreds of thousands of fans across continents, Tomorrowland isn’t just a festival — it’s a mythology.
With The Magic of Tomorrowland in Shanghai, this legendary experience expands eastward into one of the most dynamic cities on Earth. Shanghai’s Huangpu Riverside, already famous for its futuristic skyline, becomes the setting for a new chapter — one where the spirit of Tomorrowland meets the rhythm of modern China.
A new venue has been specially designed for this celebration — an architectural fusion of sound, light, and imagination. Two breathtaking stages will anchor the event, each radiating Tomorrowland’s iconic storytelling through immersive production, creative design, and world-class sound engineering.
Tomorrowland is known for curating not just performances but journeys. The Shanghai edition continues that legacy with a lineup that reads like the who’s who of modern electronic music.
Global superstar Dimitri Vegas leads the lineup — a true showman known for his commanding energy and emotional connection with the crowd. From Tomorrowland Belgium to Ibiza, he’s a festival king who brings an unparalleled sense of unity and euphoria to every performance.
His return to the Tomorrowland brand in Shanghai marks a symbolic moment — the meeting of East and West through music that transcends language, borders, and time zones.
Next up, Amelie Lens brings her hypnotic techno to the stage — a relentless force known for deep, driving rhythms and immersive soundscapes. Her inclusion underlines Tomorrowland’s commitment to diversity in sound — from big-room anthems to underground innovation.
No Tomorrowland experience is complete without innovation, and Don Diablo, the Dutch pioneer of future house, delivers exactly that. With anthems that blend melody, technology, and emotion, his set is expected to bridge generations of electronic fans — an audio-visual masterclass wrapped in optimism.
Fans will also be treated to Amber Broos b2b Meguru, Apashe, Andromedik, and the explosive DubVision b2b Matisse & Sadko b2b Third Party set — a rare triple collaboration designed to ignite the night.
Rising stars DJ Sally, Henri PFR, Halo, MC Stretch, and Tiger Drama round out the bill — each bringing their own sonic identity and flair to the two-day celebration.
And Tomorrowland, true to form, teases that more surprises are coming soon — ensuring that anticipation stays sky-high right until opening day.
From the moment the gates open at 14:00, guests will step into another world. At The Magic of Tomorrowland in Shanghai, every detail — from lighting to stage decor — has been meticulously designed to evoke awe.
The show runs from 16:00 to 22:00, with a last entry time of 21:00, creating a tightly woven narrative where music, design, and human connection flow together like a dream sequence.
Expect elaborate visual storytelling, synchronized pyrotechnics, and Tomorrowland’s iconic mantra: “Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever.”
Tomorrowland isn’t just about sound — it’s a sensory tapestry. Shanghai’s brand-new indoor venue along the Huangpu River has been acoustically engineered to deliver the same immersive quality as its Belgian counterpart.
Audiences can expect massive LED walls, 3D stage architecture, and surreal light shows that pulse in harmony with each beat. It’s more than a concert — it’s a cinematic experience, wrapped in music.
The arrival of The Magic of Tomorrowland in Shanghai marks a major milestone in China’s growing electronic music culture.
Over the past decade, the country has embraced electronic dance music with open arms — from small underground clubs to massive outdoor festivals. But this? This is something else.
Tomorrowland’s entry signifies global recognition of China as a major player in the music scene — both as a creator and consumer of world-class entertainment. It’s a statement that Shanghai is ready for the world’s stage.
As one local DJ said ahead of the announcement:
“Tomorrowland coming to Shanghai isn’t just a show — it’s a dream realized for a generation of fans who have watched it from afar for years.”
