Earlier this week (June 19), on an Instagram post, the long-running EDM festival promoted Tomorrowland Academy, its online educational portal focused on training budding DJs. “Tomorrowland and the Tomorrowland Academy inspire young talents to cultivate and enhance their skills,” they wrote.
The call-to-action was accompanied by a list of acts booked for Tomorrowland 2024 who range from age nine to 17, reflecting their commitment to spotlighting young talent. The festival will take place over two weekends from July 19 to 28 in Boom, Antwerp in Belgium. Find out more about the Tomorrowland Academy here.
The line-up includes DJ Archie, a nine-year-old DJ who has already had Glastonbury Festival under his belt after his 2023 debut. Meanwhile, 14-year-old DJ Daan makes his return to Tomorrowland after performing at the festival last year.

Additionally, Tomorrowland will also host a “kids bootcamp” called DJ-Kids Camp, where participants from age eight to 16 can build their DJ skills in week-long workshops. These kids will then be able to perform for the public at Tomorrowland Neighboursday, which takes place at the festival grounds on July 24.
The festival has become a staple in EDM culture, not least due to its consistently packed line-ups of veterans and newcomers, along with colourful, big-budget stages and a devoted following of attendees. This year’s edition is officially sold out with waiting list spots since closed to the public.
This year, Tomorrowland celebrates its 20th anniversary after first launching in 2005. Its line-up includes Armin van Buuren, Four Tet, Afrojack, Bonobo, Jayda G, and The Blessed Madonna, among others.
