We sat down with B Jones backstage after her set on the Mainstage at Tomorrowland during Weekend Two. During this interview we chat about what it was like to receive so much support before and during her set, the road to Tomorrowland Brazil, and lastly a special message to her fans.
So yesterday you played the mainstage at Tomorrowland, not only the mainstage, but you had hundreds I don’t know how many hundreds of Spanish fans flags and a meet up before your set. What did it feel like to play for that crowd?
The support of my country, it’s the biggest gift I can have in the whole world. I worked really hard on the set at Tomorrowland and for the last thirty years in my career and I feel that my country supports me and you could feel that during my set.
We were there and it was it was crazy, it was amazing. Such good energy. What do you think makes Tomorrowland a special festival? What sets it apart from all the other festivals you’ve been to or played at in the world?
Tomorrowland is not a normal festival, you can feel the energy when you’re inside the festival it’s everything is complete perfectly, the stage, the artists, the mainstage is crazy, but it’s also the people that come here every year, it’s the Tomorrowland family. You feel amazing.
Next up you have Tomorrowland Brazil. Can you tell us a little bit about that and what are you preparing for your set? Are you expecting so many Spanish people to come as well? Because that is kind of far.
It is really far, but really Brazilian people have the same passion. I feel completely at home in Brazil. There might not be that many Spanish people there but there will be people from Brazil, Argentina, a lot of people, and a great crowd. I didn’t start yet to prepare my set because I will start Monday when I arrive in Brazil.
How much time goes into preparing for these sets?
It’s not like I will go to the studio but you know, for me Tomorrowland is like one dream. All of Tomorrowland is a dream, Tomorrowland Brazil, Tomorrowland Winter, I love listening to the music, checking my set times, I dedicate some days to decide my outfit. When I arrive on the Monday, I’ll start to think about how my experience at Tomorrowland will be, what I can give differently because I love to be different every time. I want to always improve, always do better. I will listen to Brazilian music as well.
Last year, I saw your set at Crystal Garden weekend one, but this year I got to see you on the Main Stage for weekend two. Where you prefer to play? Do you prefer the smaller stages or the big Mainstage?
The Mainstage, I love it. The view from the DJ booth where you see all the people, its amazing. But any stage at Tomorrowland, I would love to play at.
Final question. You have so many fans, do you have a message want to shout out to the fans all over the world?
Thank you so much for supporting me and for understanding my vision of my Mainstage set. I always try to do something with big personality. Thank you for supporting me and I hope you join me at any club or any festival in the world and we can enjoy it together.
