Music festivals come in all different shapes and sizes and range from different styles of music from rock to pop to blues to even
electronic and today here on FTD facts
We are gonna look at one of the biggest electronic festivals on the planet which is known as Tomorrowland. Hey
Everybody what's going on Dave Walpole here and welcome to have two new facts a channel where we talk about people cultures and places from
All around the world now today. We're talking about Tomorrowland
This is the first video that we've ever talked about a music festival and the reason we're talking about it is because well
I've done a lot of videos on Belgium and well when I found out about this festival is like
Yeah, we got to talk about this thing because this thing is crazy crazier than my do
but either way
Let's get into it and before I get in this I want to let you guys know about grammar lucam these guys are our sponsor
I'll talk about that at the end of this video and of course
I want to know what is your favorite concert that you've ever been to me. I've seen Aerosmith like four times
I've seen the Rolling Stones
I've seen BB King and I can't really say which one is my favorite, but I want to know yours down there cool
Let's get started so starting with number one size
Tomorrowland has been known as the largest EDM festival in the world now usually you will see approximately 140 to
180,000 people attending this festival, but over the years, it's grown much more because for 2014 they had over
360,000 people
attend and this concert is so big that they actually have to get exclusive air travel from 15 different cities from around the world and
Even air Brussels has approximately 180 flights going to the city and to give you an idea of how big it is in
2017 they had over
400,000 people attend number choose sold-out now
This is an EDM festival that has broken records when it comes to its tickets selling out because they've sold out in minutes two hours
For example in 2012 free sale tickets went on sale and were sold out within minutes
With two million people being put on the waiting list
However when the rest of the tickets went officially on sale on April 7th
They were sold out in 43 minutes and by 2013 it sold out in one second for general admission
number three humble beginnings now use a concert that started back in
2005 and had only 9,000 people attend and to get the whole ball rolling and to get people talking about this concert in
2005 the tickets were completely free and because of that the company that promoted the thing lost approximately
150,000 euros number for djs djs djs in
2008 it finally broke its record of having over a hundred djs playing for 50000 people, but nowadays
They have over 400 DJ's playing to much bigger crowds and on multiple stages
Number five bleeding eyes now the crazy thing about this whole concert is the light shows and the fireworks
They're just impressive they spend millions of dollars
just to make things look amazing but in 2009 the organisers I
DNT accepted the use of high-intensity lights and these were so intense that multiple people
Actually complained about having bleeding eyes because the lights were hurting them although people tried to sue ID&T
They did find that the fault was left on the lighting company number 6 the underground tunnel now of course
Yeah
when having a big show like this you got to figure out where to put all your cables so people don't trip over it because
Yeah, people are gonna drink, and you don't want like the stage to grow up because somebody knocked over a power cable
But as this concert grow to solve their problem
They installed a hundred-foot underground tunnel that goes from the stage to the tech booth number 7
Don't mess with the yard so since 2009 Tomorrowland has had a new theme each year and within that theme
They have art installations all around Tomorrowland and its lodging area dreamville
But the thing is you should not touch or even mess with the art installations because if you do and you get seen
You are kicked out of the festival for the rest of the days number 8. No drugs now although at ADM festivals
You'll usually hear or see someone dropping an acid or doing something illegal
however
Tomorrowland has a very strict policy on drugs and tries its hardest to keep drugs out of the concert and just like most festivals
You'll have people doing the pat-down checking bags doing all that sort of stuff and although they do have a beefed up security
There still may be the occasional addict that wants to smuggle something in
number 9 the pre-party so in Brussels the day before the concert
There is a pre-party at the famous Grand Place by the way is one of the most scenic and beautiful
Squares in all of Europe, it's got a lot of history as well
And not only are the bars open and they put flags welcoming people from all different nations
There is also a pre-opening party called The Gathering which happens at a place called boom which is in the lodging area of dreamville?
And number 10 amenities now just because this music festival goes on for two weekends the great thing
Is there are packages that you can do besides just party for example at Tomorrowland?
They have their very own library you have options of going skiing. I mean dude. You're in Belgium like you're not gonna. Go skiing
That's kind of crazy and heck
There is even a Church of love where you can get greeted by two nuns
And they'll do small things like your nails or even allow you to have sex with them
So that's kind of nice right either way that is us
