In July 2024, Tomorrowland celebrated its legendary 20-year anniversary edition with 400.000 souls from over 200 nations gathering during two weekends of magic. The world renowned electronic music festival is now thrilled to announce its new collaboration with Amazon Music to present ‘We Are Tomorrow’ – a touching documentary that provides an in-depth look into the magic, music and global community that defines Tomorrowland. ‘We Are Tomorrow’ covers the unique journeys and personal stories of six People of Tomorrow attending the Belgian festival in 2024: Brazilian DJ & producer Vintage Culture, Curtis and Stacey from the United Kingdom, Julian and Danté from Argentina and Héline from Singapore – capturing the hearts of music enthusiasts, festivalgoers, and anyone curious about the cultural phenomenon that is Tomorrowland. The short film is now available to watch on the Amazon Music app and on YouTube. The exclusive premiere of the authentic documentary took place in São Paulo, including the attendance of Brazil’s superstar Vintage Culture.

When it comes to dance music, there are few bigger global stars than Brazilian DJ & producer Vintage Culture. Renowned for having one of the most hectic tour schedules in the industry, he plays long sets at the biggest festivals and clubs around the world. This year, Vintage Culture took over Tomorrowland’s iconic Mainstage in Belgium for the third time in his career. The documentary follows Lukas at his house in São Paulo, telling the story of how he grew up and became the DJ and person he is today. He created a special remix of his new track ‘Find A Way’, that has been exclusive released on Amazon Music.

“Tomorrowland has touched the lives of millions of people around the world. I’m proud to be one of them. This documentary gives us an inside look at the spirit of the Tomorrowland festival and the positive impact it has on so many. It’s a behind the scenes view of the artists, fans and the team that makes it all work. When I was a kid, the dream of playing at Tomorrowland filled me with hope. Finally performing on the Mainstage was a dream come true. Thank you Tomorrowland for the amazing memories and so many more to come!” – Vintage Culture

Last year’s ‘We Are Tomorrow’ documentary feat. Alok won a Webby Award, named the Best Video – Events & Livestream in the 28th Annual Webby Awards Internet Celebration. Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), is the leading international awards organization honoring excellence on the Internet.

‘We Are Tomorrow’ is a 23-minute cinematic journey, portraying the stories of Vintage Culture and how he grew up and became the person he is today, British healthcare provider Curtis who lost his foot during a motorcycle accident and his girlfriend Stacey, Argentinian best friends Julian & Danté who made their childhood dream come true, and the 18-year-old Héline who brought her parents along on the adventure for the first time. Each telling personal stories on what Tomorrowland means to them, alongside spectacular new footage of the festival. Transcending the boundaries of music, culture and emotion, ‘We Are Tomorrow’ gives viewers an intimate look at the iconic music festival right from their homes, portraying the different protagonists in a raw and authentic way during their journey and joining the celebration on the festival grounds.

Julian and Danté (both 27) from Argentina became best friends at high school because of their shared love for electronic music. As 14-year-olds they were completely mesmerized, they had no idea such music festivals existed and were totally overwhelmed. At the time, they were chatting to each other about how much they wanted to experience something like this for themselves, and it became their ultimate dream. A dream that seemed immensely far away for two young Argentinians who were struggling. They felt like they were on the wrong side of the world, in a place with little work, having to watch their own families struggle to make ends meet.

“I couldn’t have done it without him. I could have gone alone, but given the passion that we both have for the festival, I would have felt incomplete if it wasn’t with him.” – Julian

After graduating, Julian started working as a developer and started saving money and looking for ways to go abroad. Since November 2023, he has been living and working as a developer in Australia. At the end of last year, he decided to make their joint dream come true, booking Global Journey tickets for the two of them, unbeknownst to Danté. Julian paid for everything. Danté didn’t know what hit him, because for him at that moment, the dream seemed further than ever. The news that Julian is making his dream come true is a huge bright spot in his life. For Danté, it will be the first time he leaves Argentina, and the first time at a music festival.

The short film is now available to watch on the Amazon Music app and on YouTube.
