music festivals

as we were supposed to do research on music festivals we would like to go to, I picked one that I already knew as a friend of mine sent me a link for youtube. Now I wanted to know more about it, because it impressed me so enormously, and I would really really like to go there in 2012.
The festivals called "tomorrowland" and is located in Belgium. Curiously the name of the town where it takes places every year in the last week end of July is "boom". As it is a techno-festival one could call this a real symbolism between the name of the town and the marvelous things that happen there.


To get an impression, one should take a look at the after movie of "tomorrow land 2011" on youtube:

When my friend sent it to me, I only took a very quick look at it because I wasn't sure what it was about and thought it might be a boring video of one of the umpteen techno-festivals, that in the end are all the same. 
But this is so different, when I now watched the video in a whole I couldn't sit still on my chair and wanted to google tickets for this festival immediately - I want to go there SO BADLY!

You can choose between the opportunities of camping and getting a room in a hotel, which of course is a lot more expensive. On the other hand I can imagine that after one day (and night) of dancing and partying to techno music, a (comparatively) quit hotel room might be a real luxury. Nevertheless you have to consider the fact that actually when you go on a music festival, you don't go there for luxury but for the real "festival feeling" - which argues for taking the tent...
however, I think joining this festival might REALLY be fun, as it is not only techno music from various and partly very famous DJs - but the whole locations with all the decoration and the atmosphere that this causes should be so amazing! I think one could really have fun there, just forget about daily life and immerse oneself into another world, a world of a amusement and fairytales, the world of tomorrow land.


It might also be interesting to visit the official website of "tomorrowland", as you get an impression of the concept and the idea that stand behind this production and what it's all about. And of course, you can see what artists have been there this year so that you get an impression about the music played during these three days of total frenzy. Maybe next year, I will be one of the thousands of people partying there day and night, I will let you know - but first I have to convince all of my friends, which shouldn't be too difficult, because I can't think of anyone in my age (who is not totally disaffected by techno music), who wouldn't want to go to this place.
