Dimitri Vegas ready for Tomorrowland without Like Mike: 'Tinkered with my set until this afternoon'

Dimitri Vegas is set to headline the Tomorrowland main stage solo this year, a departure from the usual duo performance with his brother, Like Mike. Like Mike has withdrawn from the festival due to health problems, requiring him to take a break from touring for several months to focus on recovery. He emphasized that withdrawing from Tomorrowland was a difficult decision and only made out of necessity.

“

I have been tinkering with my set until this afternoon.

Vegas, who grew up near the festival grounds in Willebroek, expressed his dedication to his solo set, stating he had been refining it until the afternoon of the performance and promising a lot of new music. Despite numerous past appearances, he described performing at Tomorrowland as feeling like New Year's, a culmination of a year's work.

But the audience here is so grateful.

He attributed his continued enjoyment of the festival to the audience's palpable gratitude and enthusiasm. Vegas believes Tomorrowland attracts the world's best crowd, noting how attendees appreciate their tickets and the overall experience. He feels the festival's magic even when walking among the festival-goers, asserting that Tomorrowland has sustained its hype over the years by consistently impressing first-time visitors and encouraging them to return.

I made the difficult decision to not tour for a few months and focus on my full recovery.
