With the last note fading out at the recent The Magic of Tomorrowland music festival in Shanghai, 21-year-old American Tram Ngo's dream came true in China — being part of the united global community that shares a love and passion for electronic music.

Tomorrowland, one of the largest and most iconic electronic music festivals in the world, made its China debut with a full indoor music showcase on Nov 22 and 23 in Shanghai. The event, themed "Paperworld", integrated Chinese cultural heritage and was held at the brand-new Hero Dome on the city's landmark Bund waterfront.

Launched in 2005 and held annually in July in Boom, Belgium, Tomorrowland now stretches over two weekends and welcomes around 400,000 people from around the world. It caters to almost all genres of electronic dance music with hundreds of renowned artists performing across more than 15 different stages.

Captivated by electronic music since she was a child, Ngo long wanted to attend the festival. Currently studying at a university in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, she was excited by the opportunity to realize her dream in the neighboring city rather than flying all the way to Belgium.

In partnership with Hero Esports, INS Land, and Budweiser, Tomorrowland's production in Shanghai features cutting-edge technology, offering an immersive experience that blends music, innovation, and unique storytelling. The two-day show brought together an exceptional mix of international stars and local talents who delivered a series of unique collaborations, creating fantastic live entertainment and an immersive journey with imagination, sound, and technology.

Ngo, along with two Italian friends, immediately decided to attend the show, especially when they saw Dimitri Vegas in the lineup. They enjoyed the stage, music, and atmosphere, and had fun dancing for five hours straight.
