2013.09.27-2013.09.29 TomorrowWorld, Chattahoochee Hills, GA

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...f=entertainment

The folks behind Tomorrowland, said to be the world's biggest dance music festival, have quite an announcement: The party is hitting the road.

Dubbed TomorrowWorld, the first iteration of a Tomorrowland-organized event outside of Belgium will take place Sept. 27-29, 2013. The destination has yet to be revealed, but the team has rolled out a website and guessing game for fans.

The news comes at a great time for the Tomorrowland team, which sold out 180,000 tickets in "just one second," according to press materials provided by the festival. Attendees from 214 countries will attend this year's main event, a higher number than those who participated in the London Olympics (204 nations). A number of festivalgoers will fly in on Tomorrowland branded planes and stay at discounted hotels.

Tomorrowland was founded by Manu and Michiel Beers, Belgian brothers who describe TomorrowWorld as "more exciting than anything we ever dreamed of when we started years ago as young music lovers and entrepreneurs."

"We see it as a big, fantastic and very unique opportunity," they said in a statement. "It will be an enormous challenge and a big step for our young, creative and vibrant team."

Though the location of the new festival has yet to be announced, the Beers brothers promise it will take place somewhere "that feels like a second home" that's "similar to our fantastic terrain in Belgium."

TomorrowWorld marks yet another step in the festival's attempts to include -- and monetize -- those who are unable to buy tickets for and/or travel to Tomorrowland. Last year, the festival partnered with YouTube to launch Tomorrowland TV, which offered seven hours of live-streaming on each day of the event.

UPDATE: Industry rabble-rouser Albert Berdellans has some more TomorrowWorld developments, which are unverified at this time. (Berdellans goes by The EDM Snob and is an employee of Ultra Music. He says the below tweets are wholly unrelated to his employment at Ultra.)

I hope they bring all the production. Because to me that is the main draw of Tomorrowland. Either way I will be keeping my eyes open I was planning on going to Scotland for two weeks at the end of September. If it's all true, I'll be pushing forward my Scotland trip by a week to go to this.

Atlanta is one of the last places I'd expect a pure dance music festival like this to take place in. Maybe the US version will be a trap music festival with guest appearances from Ying Yang Twins and Soulja Boy.

Wonder how legit the twitter posts are.
Didnt think they would bring it to the US this year. Figured from the previous interview it would be Mysteryland first in 2014 and Tomorrowland then 2015.
No way they can move the production. They would have to have a team build it here.

its been confirmed.. sort of.. MJ formally of HouseHold Mangement confirms that both Counterpoint and Tomorrowland will be hosted by Atlanta.. As far as the official announcement.. Stay tuned.. but it looks like this is "FACT"!!

Check out the Tomorrowland FB page. Seems legit since they have it as their cover photo.

yea just checked. But i read counterpoint is no longer happening and this is replacing it.

will apparently have same production standards (all trusses covered with decor) and camping.

So this guy can just release non public info like it ain't no thing on a public Facebook page?

The twitter account isn't even official and I'm sure that the guys from Tomorrowland wouldn't just let some random guy release the info like that.

Hey we're all looking out to make sure this is legit.. But when something as big as this pop's off, all of a sudden, and with reliable corroboration, then it only makes sense to show off that we're hosting one of the world's largest and most recognized events in Electronic Dance Music..

I think we're all awaiting official word from Tomorrowland. It seems like maybe we should expect something shortly, especially with all the buzz surrounding such an extraordinary event.

Whatever the case may be, if this is coming to the states, I hope the location is the right call. If it can handle a large scale event. If the city permits the pyro, fireworks, and lasers (though wont be angled at the crowds like in europe). And you can be sure stages wont be the same as those in Boom.

Atlanta? What a joke. Out of all the big EDM cities Atlanta would be last on the list.

Would you rather it be in the mega cities and the price be way higher? Also where would people camp in LA, MIAMI, or NYC? You're not thinking logistics here.

I HATE the fact that theyre doing a world tour. i think the world tour completely cheapens the exclusivity of the festival. to be one of the lucky 180k people worldwide who got one of the beloved "golden tickets" to tomorrowland in belgium makes the whole experience so much more worthwhile and meaningful when you get there. not too mention the world tours are never really close to the true vibe of the original in the home city/country.

There is plenty of room in the highlands or desert areas around LA, or anywhere between LA and SF, that can handle a 4 day camping event.

The reason ID&T is choosing Atlanta is because they want their international crowds. Flying into West coast from Europe, or anywhere overseas, is like twice as expensive as it is flying into the East coast. The only place that the West coast has an advantage of from a flight point of view is Asia and Mexico, Asians don't really travel for dance music festivals, and Mexicans are too broke. Atlanta is also a major airport hub for flight transfers, making it overall an easier location.

Price is always a major factor as well. Land in Cali is probably 10x more than it is in Atlanta. In the end it's all about the $$$.

One thing that has me a bit worried is that ID&T is relying completely on getting people to Tomorrowland from outside of Atlanta. Let�s be honest, Atlanta doesn't have a big dance music community, then on top of that, they don't really have any other major cities within driving distance, at least not any worth mentioning in the dance music community. Therefore 90% of the crowd is going to be a traveling crowd, and most of those are going to have to either A. drive 10 hours, or B. fork up the money to fly. Unlike Europe we don't have a cheap and easy transit system of trains, making location in Europe less of an important aspect to festival planning. You can stick the thing in the middle of nowhere and people will still easily be able to get to it. That is not the case in the US, location is EVERYTHING.

I'm still skeptical this is happening. But don't sell Atlanta too short. The right line-up plus the right promotion could easily get the crowd to be 30-40% local. Of course it could be a disaster and end up only being 5%-10% local.

makes sense since people from 204 countries went to tomorrowland that they would have to put it some where thats easy for travel hence it being atl.

So why not in the North East (way more cities you can travel from by car and even easier to travel from Europe) ?
Florida would have been great as well.

Weather, it's at the end of September.

News trickling out from the #Tomorrowland Twitter Feed that Atlanta got #TomorrowWorld. Although they seem not to happy about #EDMSnob it seems like we can expect the official announcement within the next couple of weeks.

Atlanta is 100 percent confirmed. Artists are posting the listing now and told to remove them.

Why you no post pictures or links?

Funny, I always considered the 10 hour road trip as a standard part of the party kid experience, having been made to do it so many times. More than a few of those times I'd make that huge drive only to be turned away at the door when I got there.

You mean most people don't have to get in the car for at least 6 hours every time an international headliner comes out? Fascinating

Location seems to be perfect.

Huge beautiful space in the middle of nowhere.

It's also 20min away from the Biggest North/South American airport....it's a huge traveling hub.

Let's just hope the bros/yolos stay away.
