Tomorrowland Festival Review 2016
My Rating of the Festival: 7/10. Tomorrowland’s scale cannot be beat – 15 stages and 180,000 people from over 75 countries.

Takes forever to walk anywhere, even if you are staying in the Dreamville camping area (20 min minimum to walk into the festival). […]

All genres of hard dance are represented there, from the mainstream […]
