Chattahoochee Hills Dreamville SEPTEMBER 26TH 2013 The Gathering PEOPLE OF TomorrowWorld, YOU WILL BE part of history! You are invited to write the second chapter, and continue our fairy tale… Open up the Book of Wisdom! Hello, friends. Welcome to our second home. Here, we shall re-open the Book of Wisdom. You will be part of a new, unique chapter, the first one told from the Chattahoochee hillside. What was once local, now goes global; Land becomes World. None of that, however, is of very much importance – what matters is the story that we, to- gether, will tell. Over the next four days, not a single one of you will be able to witness all the magic that TomorrowWorld contains, yet each and every one of you will see, hear, taste and feel so much that it’ll be all you can do not to burst. Some of you will stick to the MainStage, loyal to the end, while others roam freely and take in the vibe. Yet every podium has its own style, each DJ his fans, and so together, we will be there for every single memorable moment. By our combined experience, the next chapter in the Book of Wisdom shall be written. Now go out and enjoy. Our story begins. Are you ready for The Gathering? Dreamville gathers, and now our tale begins. It shall not end until the music stops. TomorrowWorld, get ready for us! Dreamville, city of grass fields & canvas roofs, has housed Tomorrowland’s citizens since time immemorial. You are more than welcome to see it arise in the foothills of our second home as well, and of course, your arrival must To all party people ATTENTION! You’ve just arrived in the land of fairy tales, wondrous creatures and utter madness. Make sure you enjoy the upcoming 4 days to the fullest. Love, rave, dance and be happy! Today’s highlights Yesterday is history Nine years of Tomorrowland Page 4,5 & 6 be celebrated. For that purpose, the Gathering will be held. Starting out in the early afternoon, it will be the place where you can meet your fellow campers, spend your Thursday night and, of course, rock out the week- end’s first dancing steps. Yves V and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike will join a genre-bending host of better and lesser known DJs on stage, making for a magical start to our weekend!

INTERNATIONAL MEETING SATURDAY, 4PM In its journey to Chattahoochee, the Book of Wisdom has travelled over 5,500 miles, traversing the mainland of two continents and the ocean between them alike. The distance took more than two months to span, yet everything arrived intact and in time. The keepers of the Book, however, aren’t the only ones to have travelled. From all over the world, revelers flock to our second home for a weekend of madness. Over 50 nationalities are known to be present, which means almost a quarter of the world’s countries will get to hear the tales of Tomorrow. We’d like to say hello, and welcome, to all those who made the trip from Japan, Australia, South Africa, and the dozens of other countries to grace us with the presence of their inhabitants. We hope your travels were pleasant. Surely, you’ll be able to make some new, international friends, for during the days to come, all of us will be part of the same sovereignty: TomorrowWorld. And as we unite into one nation of bookworms, all of us will become equal. In the creation of the Book of Wisdom’s second chapter, your origins won’t matter anymore. They shouldn’t be forgotten, but they’re less important than the sense of unity that our festival will bring. We’re all here now, ready for a weekend of madness, far away from the normal world and completely carefree. So fly your flags, fly them high, and mingle with the ones wearing different colors whenever you can. That is how you say hello to the world! Two lucky birds from each country have been invited to the international meetup at the mainstage VIP. Come show your support, fly your flags, and make friends too! Everyone’s invited at the mainstage, Saturday 4pm. Bring flags, national symbols, and bodypaint! • HIGHLIGHTS • TOMOrOWWORLD TOdaY Colophon The-Reporters Editor in chief: Maaike van der Linden Design: Bram Schinkel Photo editor: Tom Dieleman Editors: Ole Thijs, PJ Symons, Erin Gabriel & Pim Dijkgraaf.

THURSDAY SEPT. 26TH 2013 THURSDAY SEPT. 26TH 2013 The fairytale’s first nine chapters Tomorrowland’s size being what it is now, it’s hard to imagine that just 10,000 people attended the first edition in 2005. 2013 was only the festival’s 9th incarnation, but what growth we have seen – TML grew from 10,000 to 180,000 visitors and has been winning Best Festival awards for years in a row. •2008• The above-mentioned successes meant the time was right to pack our bags for the next step: TomorrowWorld! The wisdom of Tomorrowland needs to be spread throughout the world, everybody should be taught which way is right, and so the worshiped Land was expanded into a whole World. But before we begin, let’s consider the history of Tomorrow for a bit. When ID&T announced the first Tomorrowland in 2005, their vision was already clear. “At Tomorrowland it’s not only about the music. The decoration is at least as important for this festival,” ID&T promised back then. Once the décor was set, eight stages were filled with dozens of dance acts from all around the world, some of whom have never stopped enjoying the magic. Coone is the prime example, having played every edition so far. Nobody knew what to expect from the first one, even though it was based on the Dutch festival Mysteryland. Well, now we know what they meant by “not only about the music”. The second edition in 2006 pulled 15,000 people; ID&T added a campsite with an exclusive stage for all campers to enjoy. But the madness really broke loose in year three. With more than 50,000 people and a second festival day it finally started to look like nowadays’ Tomorrowland. The amount of visitors and length of the festival remained the same in 2008, but it was the first edition with more than 100 DJs performing. From 2008 on, it was clear that De Schorre, Boom, Belgium, had birthed something truly extraordinary. A few more stages were added in 2009, including the ‘I love the 90’s’-stage where famous artists like Push and Scooter performed. The most special act at the mainstage of that year’s edition was probably Moby. With over 90,000 visitors the crowd almost doubled that single year. Apart from the extra stages, a lot of other novelties were added to the festival, including an actual skipiste. The sixth edition took place on the 24th and 25th of July 2010 and was the first to sell out more than a month before the festival started. With 120,000 attendees and twenty-five thousand people on the campsite the festival became larger by a third again, calling for the now-familiar rotating hosting-partner schedule to give everyone what they wanted. 2011’s Tomorrowland added another full festival day. Headliners included Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto and 2 Many DJs. One year later, the eighty thousand tickets for Belgian visitors sold out in one day. The global ticket reserve, counting 100,000 pieces, took a couple seconds to deplete. This was also the first year the festival was broadcasted live on YouTube, making for an extremely impressive production that we wager most of you have watched. •2009• For this year’s Tomorrowland, ID&T reserved 90,000 tickets for Belgium’s inhabitants, which sold out in just over twelve minutes. Despite the problems caused by passing thunderstorms – mainly on Saturday – yet another wonderful festival was had. And it had one unique feature: many of the patrons knew the end wasn’t really the end, because they’d be doing it all over again in Chattahoochee, two months later! Now that we find ourselves here, the objective is to recreate the Belgian chemistry. Prepare yourself for a breath-taking weekend and have your mind ready to be blown. •2010• •2011• 4 5 THURSDAY THURSDAY SEPT. 26TH 2013 SEPT. 26TH 2013 CHARGE YOUR PHONE •2005• •2006• At TomorrowWorld, neither you nor your phone needs to run out of batteries! For you we’ve got a variety of food stands, but for your phone we’ve got the PWRBOX mobile phone charging unit. You can either purchase a mobile phone charging voucher at the link on the website or simply sign up and pay at the booth located on the festival site. If you’ve booked your PWRBOX-battery in advance it will be waiting for you at the booth, so come on in and pick it up when your smartphone needs to be charged. It’s easy as pie: connect the PWRBOX-battery to your phone to charge it, put it back in your pocket or bag and enjoy a carefree time around the festival. Swap the battery when your PWRBOX-battery needs to be recharged and return it to the PWRBOX booth after you’ve given your smartphone its final charge. •2007• Tomorrowland’s ‘De Schorre’ and TomorrowWorld’s Chattahoochee Hills have one very big advantage in common: both are comprised of the perfect landscape for their festivals, including the valley needed for the mainstage. The mainstage in 2005 was nothing compared to this year’s volcano, but the terrain was meant for great artistic creations from the get-go. The Chattahoochee Hills have been here for hundreds of years, waiting for ID&T to receive you guys at TomorrowWorld. The Book of Wisdom will merge seamlessly into the green, enchanting landscape. Like its colleagues – the enormous rainbow, the faced tree, the volcano – it will take you to a magical place where anything is possible. All across the grounds, artwork, decorations, mystical creatures and beautiful beings will take you deeper into that fairy-tale atmosphere. Indeed, we can trace TomorrowWorld’s history back to the Dutch festival Mysteryland, but it has become a world all of its own. •2013• MERCHANDISE Want to show your family where you’ve been? Wear TomorrowWorld proudly with Le Coq Sportif. Pick up your gear at one of the merchandise stands! Party hard, PROTECT YOUR EARS!

The Ear Peace booth is located near the Pacific Entrance. •2008• •2009• •2010• •2011• •2012• •2013• Guetta at Tomorrowland 2013: “Ah, Tomorrowland! I’ve been playing Tomorrowland each year, since the very first year. And each year it’s getting bigger and bigger and there are more people coming from everywhere in the world. I see flags from Christian countries, Jewish countries, Muslim countries and we’re all together. This is the most beautiful thing in the world. It makes me really shiver.” Becoming the best dance festival in the world takes some effort. ID&T worked very hard to create and secure Tomorrowland’s identity, but they’ve obviously had a load of help. For that, the performing artists deserve credit; they helped turn “not only about music” into “music as good as at any other festival, supplemented by an otherworldly décor.” Just about any remarkable artist in dance music has found themselves on one of De Schorre’s stages. A few examples: Moby, Skrillex, Avicii, Faithless, Fatboy Slim and Steve Aoki. And don’t forget cross-genre experiments like Chuckie featuring guitarist Slash during his set this year! Some artists just can’t get enough of Tomorrowland and its crowd. As mentioned above, Coone didn’t miss a single edition, attending all of them as a performing artist. David Guetta has also played many different Tomorrowlands – all except the very first one, in fact. Belgian artists Fred Baker and Marco Bailey showed up many times, but not as many as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike! They’ve performed two times every year starting in 2010, becoming TML’s residents of sorts. That’s what brought them to the United States, what brought them TomorrowWorld and brought them to you, along with scores of other deejays. 6 Discover the app!

Download your personal guide to the festival now. TOMORROWWORLD BREW Everything about TomorrowWorld is extraordinary. The terrain, the artists, and especially the people! And for you, the most dedicated crowd in the world, only a specially brewed beer can be good enough! Made by Breckenridge Brewery, this ‘TomorrowWorld Brew’ is a bright and clean golden ale, made just for you. It’s ideal for outdoor activities, as it has a lower bitterness rating and immediately refreshes the thirsty raver. It comes in a limited quantity and is only available at TomorrowWorld this weekend. Alongside other kinds of beer like Vanilla Porter, Avalanche Ale and Trademark Pale, Breckenridge Brewery has provided you with a very, very special brand of beer. So get your own 14 to 16 ounces of TomorrowWorld Brew and enjoy the liquid happiness that is yours for the taking! 7 Got a cold, a sour elbow? Been stung by some weird looking insect? Or just feeling dizzy while dancing? Visit our trained professionals at the First Aid-tents. Look for the red cross on the floorplan. These much appreciated men and women also walk the terrain, to look out or anything that seems out of the ordinary. If you happen to come across someone not feeling well, call for help. Look for any festival personnel, info attendant or security. They’ll know what to do. Take care of each other so we’ll all enjoy TomorrowWorld to the fullest! THURSDAY SEPT. 26TH 2013 The best place to wake up is in a dream During years past, it has been called many things. ‘City of Dreams’, ‘ungodly muddy mess’, ‘that place where those crazy campers stay, in their leaky canvas shacks’, and even ‘home’ – for a weekend. A true Dreamville denizen knows that all those terms are compliments. For Dreamville is not about comfort, nor even about sleep. It is about TomorrowWorld and its people. You, your friends, your neighbours (who will soon become your friends), that girl who lent you her sunscreen (but disappeared before you could make friends with her), the pavilion tent-dwelling group down the road who invited you for a beer (and have thus become your friends) after you took the wrong turn trying to find your own spot back… we could go on, but no need. If you’ve been to Dreamville before, you know what to expect, even though a few surprises have been added as always. If you haven’t, well, you’re about to find out. Go, explore Dreamville, and oh… mind our photographers. Enjoy! The bakery MARKETPLACE What better way to break your fast than with freshly baked bread? The bakery’s team will be slaving away all night just so you can get your morning delight. Want to know where to find it? Just follow the smell… As always, Dreamville will be equipped with a market place to rival your average shopping mall. Supermarket, camping store & accessories shops – you name it, and it can be found nearby the bridge to the festival in the green district. NEVER FORGET It is never an easy thing to gather your stuff, leave for the festival grounds, and get it right the first time. Without having to go back for stuff you thought you wouldn’t need, that is. Here are a few pointers on what not to forget: • Your friends • Ridiculous or sexy outfit (preferably with pockets) (boring outfits are strongly discouraged) • Sunscreen (seriously, do it!) • Smiles, lots of smiles • Wallet, containing money, tokens, and possibly condoms • Phone (charged) • Sunglasses (may also be worn at night) • Extra pair of underwear to fling into favourite DJ’s face • Lighter (great for making friends!) • Chewing gum (possibly even better for making friends) • Your own sexy self (best for making friends) 9 THURSDAY SEPT. 26TH 2013 Be aware of our photographers TomorrowWorld TODAY You think you are safe. It is an illusion. No matter how hung over you are, no matter how much you need coffee, you always need beware our photographers. Make sure you look really good (or extremely crappy) and your picture might end up in TMW Today, though. TENT TROUBLE SHOWERS If you’re having trouble setting up your tent or unpacking your stuff, Dreamville has just what you need: neighbours! Surely, those handsome men can wrestle your canvas into just the right curve. Or perhaps the girls next door can hold onto your herrings while you put up your pole. Have fun! Whereas TomorrowWorld is for getting down ‘n dirty, Dreamville is for freshening up and catching some Zs. But not too many. Showers are paid with 2 ordinary consumption tokens.

Several valleys, miles and miles of paths, countless ponds; in the Hills, we notice that decorations, shows & sound systems are not all there is to a festival. It’s the grounds that set the stage. Quite literally, in the case of Chattahoochee – as if by magic, it’s home to just the right kind of natural amphitheater to recreate the Tomorrowland mainstage. All in all, the hills around us now are a piece of natural art, and they surely make it a whole lot easier to lose yourself in the world of Tomorrow… Welcome to Chattahoochee! T MAIN COMFORT HOSTED BY XS LIV OCEAN & POOL CLUB The Chattahoochee Hills belong to Belgian equestrian Carl Bouckaert and are normally part of the wellknown Bouckaert Farm, owned by the Belgian Olympic rider. When no festival is being hosted, they are one of the best areas for horse riding and schooling in this region. Carl claims his range is at least as special as Belgian recreational area ‘De Schorre’, where Tomorrowland takes place. T 1 2 Welcome to the Chattahoochee Hills! Unlike ID&T expected, it didn’t take much time at all to find the right place for Tomorrowland’s American cousin: TomorrowWorld! Welcome to the Chattahoochee Hills, our second home.

The Golden Ticket Winner: Amanda Bradford Who would have thought the little known Tomorrowland festival would grow into TomorrowWorld? Maybe the Belgian team, but certainly not me. What an honour to be involved in such an organisation. One big amazing family that keeps getting bigger! I am excited as a grown up buying the 5s, to be visiting the home of Martin Luther King and staying in the city known as A-town. Of course Chattahoochee Hills will create such an incredible feeling for so many reasons. The spirits of the native Indians will almost certainly feel the love vibrations throughout the weekend, I just hope they will be understanding and give us their blessings. I won’t ramble on too much as we are all here to party but please do your very best to appreciate the wonderful site that has been chosen for such a spiritual gathering, take nothing for granted and behave in a way we can all be proud of. We want to be invited back right!? So, the show must go on and I want to send a shout out to the production team and in particular my man Rutger who works his socks off like no one else. Those guys in shorts and big heavy boots with ear pieces, walkie talkies and a very strange look on their faces are critical to this whole operation. New horizons beckon so to Rutger and the team, toi toi toi (break a leg) and see you for a glass of champers on Monday morning!!! Sun, Fun, Love, Rave: jumpstart your weekend at The Gathering After you have finally arrived and managed to put up your tent you’ll be ready to roll into the weekend.

The Gathering is where we all gather (duh!) to kick off an already legendary weekend of fun, love, rave and just the right dose of that mystical TomorrowWorld Magic! Hosted by Counterpoint, The Gathering is set up to be the mirror image to its Belgian cousin. Last year 25,000 Dreamvillers went out of their minds at that massive open-air party. This year, we’d like to see if we can do the same at Chattahoochee, our second home.

PM 12:30 - 02:30 Mainstage 10:30 - 12:00 His friends know him as Tijs Verwest, a handsome boy that grew up in the town of Breda in the south of The Netherlands, but to the rest of the world he is the one and only Tiësto – the greatest DJ to ever set foot on this planet. The subtitle on his business card reads ‘The Greatest DJ Of All Time’ and when his aura, musicianship and magnetism start ravishing the hearts, heads and bodies of the rave, the hundreds of thousands people that attend his live shows, there’s not a single soul that will argue those accolades. records, six golden DVDs, a wax statue at Madame Tussaud’s, over 150 million hits on YouTube, over 15 million fans on Facebook, 2 million followers on Twitter and countless awards and prizes to visibly endorse his larger-than-life status, yet there is no greater proof of his skills than his mind-blowing live-sets. Tiësto pioneered in visually improving the live performance of an electronic artist by heavily investing in mesmerizing exhibitions of lasers, astonishing light shows and massive LED screens displaying the most marvelous visuals and images. “I wanted to create an experience that transcends the music, a show that touches people in every possible way by addressing them from every possible angle. Musically, visually and spiritually,” he explains. A powerful, energetic, jawdropping performance to never, ever forget Whether he’s working with superstars like Faithless’ Maxi Jazz, Flo Rida, Busta Rhymes or Nelly Furtado, remixing the works of greats such as Radiohead, Britney, The Killers, Muse, Gotye or Coldplay, co-producing track with Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren or Showtek or just conscientiously composing an album on his own, Tiësto puts an inimitable brilliance into everything he does. The fact that he puts in 200% of his effort every single time may count as the secret ingredient that keeps his star shining brighter than any one of his colleagues’ – quite the accomplishment with a career spanning two decades. A career that still takes him back to basics playing a surprise gig for a handful of lucky clubbers in a town halfway around the world, then puts him on the decks of a massive stage on Amsterdam’s Museumplein performing for no less than 350.000 people, only to gig at a flurry of festival before going back to the clubs again. Tiësto’s got numerous MTV awards, a Grammy nomination, nine golden 2013 saw Tiësto embarking on the follow up to his Club Life College Invasion Tour throughout the United States. Tiësto’s tour climaxed at a sold out show at LA’s Home Depot Center as he performed the largest single headline DJ show in US history before a party of no less than 26.000 ravers. But his fans already knew that Tiësto is a man of ‘firsts’. He was the first DJ to sell out several dates at the Brixton Academy, Alexandra Palace and the O2 Arena in the UK, he was the first DJ to headline a sold-out show at the immense Victoria Park in London and he is the only DJ ever to sell out a three-month residency at Priviledge in Ibiza. Tijs’ TomorrowWorld performance will be powerful, it will be energetic, it will be one jaw-dropping, uplifting party to never ever forget. The full-on Tiësto experience!

We were searching for new challenges earlier this year so we decided to develop Afroki. We gave a sneak peek at the Dutch Kingsday Festival and performed for a few minutes at Tomorrowland, but TomorrowWorld seemed like the right place for our world premiere. Our first real performance together at the first edition of TomorrowWorld, that’s an opportunity we didn’t want to miss!” Afrojack announced it himself on this year’s Tomorrowland when he joined Steve’s set at the mainstage: “This is Steve Aoki and Afrojack: Afroki. ARE YOU FUCKING READY?” Well, are you!? They gave a little teaser in Belgium, but they’ll rock the main stage for over an hour this Saturday. You’d better be ready to lose your mind and witness this big step in music history. “It’s always nice to join someone for a b2b session, just to give your set a tiny different twist. But what we are doing at TomorrowWorld is much more than that. Totally different!” Aoki says. Nick remains: “Afroki is more than just a single jump into each other’s performances, it’s a collaboration. A combination of two DJs who think combining their sound will have a unique result. Not a one-time thing, but an ongoing project that starts right here.” Some of you may wonder, why Afroki? Afrojack has an easy explanation. “Well, Stefrojack didn’t sound right and Afroki just sounds best when the MC screams it followed by ‘JUMP’ I guess, haha.” Steve: “We’re both known for our ability to make huge crowds go completely crazy. We don’t want to praise ourselves for anything, but I haven’t seen the crowd standing still anywhere, have you? On earlier collaborations and other meetings we both felt there was more than just those small things, in a The boys have performed together before and produced some tracks in the studio as well (even though that was before the conception of their joint act). ‘Afroki’ and ‘No Beef’ were the results of earlier Aoki & Afrojack studio sessions. You may wonder: ‘What can we expect from them now? Something new?’ Nick denies that: “Of course not! Why should we get out of our comfort zone to try something new? That would be egocentric; the crowd expects nothing more than a mixture of Steve Aoki and me, Afrojack. We’re willing to give them that mixture, and the extras coming with that boost of fresh inspiration and energy. Oh, you call that new? Well, we will bring something new! But being new is just not our starting point, we are used to perform and make the crowd go completely mad, so we’re planning to do exactly that same thing.” They’re making a little fun about their appearance, but we are dead serious: make sure you’ll be there in time! “ We’re both known for our ability to make huge crowds go completely crazy” 20 21 THURSDAY SEPT. 26TH 2013 One last time. Because Tomorrow is now! As the sun comes up and sheds it’s light across the still quiet grounds of Chattahoochee Hills, the songs of the birds hold the promise of so much awesomeness to come. It’s the final day of TomorrowWorld. But instead of letting that realization get you down, use it to your advantage. You’ve got only one day left, so make it the very freaking best one of all! To see you all having the times of your live, fills every single one of us up with a mixture of pride, joy and pure happiness. Together we’ve made the incredible journey through TomorrowWorld. We shared incredible moments of joy, love for one another and memories that’ll last a lifetime. This Sunday will be all about giving everything you’ve got. No holding back, cause tomorrow is now, kid. From all of us putting this amazing experience together, thank you. Thank you for being part of this. Thank you for your energy. Thank you, just for being you. And if you’d like to express gratitude towards us, no need to. If you want, do so by being just as awesome, energetic, epic, lovable and sexy as you can.

Touring around the world all year, this weekend is by far the most important stop on their touring schedule and it’s pretty much a home game. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike own it every time. And as of this weekend, they are about to own TomorrowWorld just the same! Do you feel like you’ve got something to prove at TomorrowWorld? “I think the whole Tomorrowland team has something to prove, a goal to achieve, at TomorrowWorld, but that’s the challenge we have accepted. And people can definitely expect something special from our show.” What do DJs and producers need in order to make it to the top? “As a DJ it is very important to find your own sound and distinguish yourself from the rest, that’s the way to get noticed. You also have to be persistent and always keep going, you need to keep on building and fortifying your career on a daily basis.” You’ve had quite a busy summer this year. Where do you find the time to sleep? “It was indeed a very heavy yet awesome summer. We’ve been playing Ibiza a lot, which is actually our home away from home, but we still didn’t have a lot of time to sleep. We’ve played about 5 shows a week, we’re tired but very happy.” Next to Tomorrowland, what were the highlights of the last few months? “We’ve had many great nights at Pacha Ibiza, where Mike did an indoor crowd walk – total madness! Creamfields in London was also pretty great, we had the chance to close the festival!” By selling out your forthcoming show at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp it became clear once again that you’ve got quite the fan army. Do you get recognized when walking the streets? “It happens that fans come over and talk to us when we’re just minding our own business in public, but we don’t mind at all. We’re just people like everyone else.” Nowadays you’re big all over the world but as far as Tomorrowland goes you’re the one and only true kings. Do you consider the festival to be an easy home game? “Not at all! It’s definitely a home game but we want to get better every time and improve our show. Which worked out pretty great year after year. To us, it is the highlight of the year. Tomorrowland will always be one of the most important things in our career, we’re very grateful for the confidence they gave us.” And what are the plans for the next couple of months? A well-deserved holiday maybe? “We’re going to put a lot of work in preparing our massive tour throughout the US, Canada and South America in October plus a show in India the week after. Then in December we’ve got our first arena show, performing for almost 20.000 people, so that really has to be top notch and is going to require a whole lot of work! So, no holidays for us (laughs).” 22 23 You are the people of TomorrowWorld Make every second legendary
