GAWP & The Melody Men Join Forces With Brand New Single ‘Sun Comes Up’ On Heldeep
Showcasing irresistible summer vocals that urge the listener to dance until dawn, this track sets the scene for endless nights of carefree celebration. Combining catchy melodies with succinct driving rhythms, ‘Sun Comes Up’ captures the engaging spirit of summer, actively inviting audiences to lose themselves in the music until the break of day.
GAWP is no stranger to the revered Heldeep imprint. His previous releases include ‘Every Weekend’, ‘Moon’ and ‘Lost and Found’. Outside of Heldeep Records, GAWP has released songs with leading imprints including 7Wallace (Aphrodisiac together with Gene Farris), Wh0 Worx, Toolroom and Sink or Swim. He has also performed across international main stages, headlining on multiple tours throughout the USA and UK as well as supporting Oliver Heldens (Heldeep Records label boss) on his USA tour back in 2019.
The Melody Men are one of the most sought after current vocal and writing teams in the business following their work with Mark Knight, Martin Ikin, Mason, Ferreck Dawn, Reinier Zonneveld and many more. Their collaborations have seen them feature on global radio playlists, TV shows and also major ad campaigns.
On ‘Sun Comes Up’, GAWP Says – “I loved making this track as we really geeked out in the studio, running the vocals in through the tubes and taking time to experiment with lots of drum machines and hardware. The final result is better than we expected! I feel like we bridged the underground and commercial appeal with the contrast from breakdown to drop and kept the original GAWP x Melody Men collaborative styles.”
‘Sun Comes Up’ has garnered significant praise from industry heavyweights Claptone, Black V Neck, and Don Diablo, receiving early promo support. The track has also sparked considerable radio interest, with BBC Introducing, Don Diablo on Hexagon Radio, Alok Radio Show, Mike Williams’ set for On Track, Fedde Le Grand on Darklight Sessions, and Oliver Heldens on Heldeep Radio giving it priority airtime. This advance industry support underscores the high calibre of this collaboration and sets the scene for the track to remain on regular rotation all summer long.

Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Confirmed Artists So Far
Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Confirmed Artists So Far include Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, and more
As we gear up for the historic debut of Tomorrowland Thailand from December 11 to 13, 2026, the first confirmed artists are already setting the frame for one of Asia’s most closely watched festival debuts. Ahead of the complete lineup announcement, Tomorrowland has shared an early group of confirmed names for the Thailand edition, including Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Lost Frequencies, NERVO, and Dimitri Vegas. Unlike the usual Tomorrowland lineup reveal, where the full artist list is released alongside stage hosts and wider festival details, the Thailand confirmations have been shared through separate official moments. Axwell mentioned the Swedish House Mafia appearance during a One World Radio interview, while other names were introduced through Tomorrowland and Tomorrowland Thailand posts, giving the debut edition a more gradual artist reveal before the full lineup is published.
Swedish House Mafia Are Set For Their First Thailand Show As A Trio
Among the first Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 confirmed artists, Swedish House Mafia carries the clearest headline value because the December booking would bring Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello to Thailand together under the Swedish House Mafia name for the first time. All three members have played in the country across separate appearances, and Axwell Λ Ingrosso previously performed in Thailand as a duo, but the trio has never performed here together as Swedish House Mafia. That gives the confirmation more local context for Thai audiences who have followed the members’ individual and duo appearances over the years. The confirmation came through a conversational exchange on One World Radio, when the host asked Axwell where the group was going next in the Tomorrowland world. Axwell first pointed to Asia, then narrowed it down to Thailand, saying, “I think it might be somewhere in the Asian regions. Uh more like Thailand actually,” before adding, “We’re going to be there in December.” When the host asked if that meant Tomorrowland Thailand, Axwell replied, “Yeah. Yeah. That’s the thing.” The host then repeated the point back for clarity, saying Swedish House Mafia’s next stop in the Tomorrowland world would be Tomorrowland Thailand, with Axwell later adding that he had seen Wisdom Valley, loves going to Thailand, loves Tomorrowland, and said, “So let’s mix the two.”

NERVO Announced Their Tomorrowland Thailand Set On The Tomorrowland Winter MainStage
NERVO were one of the first names confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026, with the announcement made during their Tomorrowland Winter MainStage set instead of through a standard lineup graphic. Mim Nervo set up the reveal by telling the crowd that “there’s something new happening” before she and Liv Nervo turned around to show the message printed across their shirts: “She Is Playing At Tomorrowland Thailand.” The moment was later shared by Tomorrowland Thailand as the first artist reveal for the 2026 line-up, placing NERVO in the earliest group of artists confirmed for the festival’s debut edition from December 11 to 13, 2026. Their booking also connects the Thailand launch to Tomorrowland’s wider history, since NERVO have been regular names across the festival’s stages over the years and were part of The Way We See The World, the 2011 Tomorrowland anthem with Afrojack and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.

UNTOLD Festival 2025: The Recap
UNTOLD X wasn’t just a festival, it was a four-night celebration of music, unity, and pure magic in Cluj, Romania.
We just got back from UNTOLD X and honestly, it was unreal. Our team’s first time in Romania and it couldn’t get any better than this. Four straight nights in Cluj with over 470,000 people from all over the world, and every night felt bigger than the last.
Post Malone kicked off his European tour, and the whole stadium was packed singing along. The start of the show with ‘Texas Tea’ to the pyro and energy during ‘Rockstar’ and the closing with ‘Congratulations’ was something to remember for ages. The country rockstar persona definitely suits him.
Armin van Buuren gave us a three-hour marathon set that turned into this massive love letter to the crowd, he even walked down into the audience under a sea of phone lights, waving the Romanian flag while wearing the Romanian football team jersey. Goosebumps.

The Avicii tribute with Sandro Cavazza was as emotional as it could get. When he sang ‘Without You’, tens of thousands of people sang along and the whole place lit up. It felt like everyone was united in that moment.

The lineup was stacked. Garrix blew us away with his special set and the fireworks at the end of his set with ‘High on Life’ were unforgettable. Tiësto did a special extended set just for the 10th anniversary. Don Diablo premiered his new show concept for his upcoming tour. And then you had the special act, Salvatore Ganacci turning the stage into a living room and Alan Walker with his cinematic visuals and an energetic set.

Alok brought team of dancers and the whole set was probably the highlight of the festival. The visuals, the production, the music and the crowds energy were just unmatched.

It wasn’t just about the mainstage either. The Galaxy stage had heavyweights like Dom Dolla, ARTBAT, Adriatique, and Black Coffee, proper house and techno journeys that went late into the night. The festival had so many different vibes, from chill daytime sets in the park to full-on raves at night.

What really stood out though was how much UNTOLD leaned into the experience beyond the music. There were food stalls, games, fashion corners, even a special kids’ area and a sensory space for kids with neurodiverse needs. They even brought in cancer survivors from Youth Cancer Europe to meet artists, it really felt like a community, not just a festival.
This was the 10th edition, and they made it clear it was both a celebration of the last decade and a teaser for what’s next. They’re already talking about “UNTOLD One” in 2026 as the next chapter. If this anniversary was any indication, it’s going to be on another level.

What Tomorrowland 2025 and Sadhguru Taught Us About Peace in Motion
Sadhguru at Tomorrowland 2025: Finding Peace Through Music, Movement, and Collective Stillness
When Sadhguru appeared at the Love Tomorrow Summit during Tomorrowland 2025, it wasn’t a disruption to the festival’s flow. It was a deepening of it. In a place known for towering stages, nonstop sound, and collective highs, his presence offered something unexpected yet entirely fitting. His reflections on peace, consciousness, and inner stillness landed not in silence, but in the middle of music and motion, and somehow, that made them feel even more real. This piece isn’t a recap of who played what stage. It’s about what Tomorrowland now stands for beyond music, how the summit reshaped the festival’s identity, and why Sadhguru’s message carried such powerful meaning during a weekend where even a mainstage fire couldn’t shake the unity of the crowd.

From Sound to Stillness: The Role of the Love Tomorrow Summit
Tomorrowland has always claimed to be more than a music festival. With slogans like Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever, it has long positioned itself as a global gathering grounded in ideals of unity and hope. But ideals are easy to print on flags and screens. It’s through the Love Tomorrow Summit that those ideals have started to take on meaning. Held just before the festival weekend begins, the summit has evolved into a space where Tomorrowland explores what it means to stand for something, not just sonically, but socially and spiritually.
That’s what made Sadhguru’s appearance feel less like a surprise and more like a confirmation. The summit’s emphasis on environmental action, mental health, and cultural dialogue created a natural context for his voice. When he spoke about peace not being the absence of sound but the presence of clarity within it, it felt grounded in the very experience Tomorrowland was offering. He wasn’t telling people to step away from the music. He was offering a way to step into it more fully, with awareness, with stillness, with intention. In that moment, the summit wasn’t just a side event. It was the soul of the festival.
Peace in Motion: Sadhguru’s Message in the Heart of the Noise
What gave Sadhguru’s appearance real meaning wasn’t just the symbolism of placing a mystic at a music festival. It was the way he met the setting without needing to change it. During his session with Alok on the Love Tomorrow stage, he didn’t ask people to disconnect from what was around them. He asked them to become more aware of it. His words, calm and steady, settled over the crowd without needing volume. “You are not a victim of your thoughts, but the conductor of them,” he told the audience. A phrase he’s used before, but one that made sense in that exact moment.
@alok Love Tomorrow Summit with Sadhguru @Tomorrowland ♬ Love Has Gone (feat. Jess Glynne) – Alok & ALTA & Robert Falcon & Jess Glynne
Alok was beside him, listening closely. The crowd responded not with cheers, but with quiet. People raised their hands. Some closed their eyes. For a few minutes, there was no beat, no screen, no movement. Just stillness. It didn’t take anything away from the festival. If anything, it brought something in.
Peace, right then, wasn’t the opposite of sound. It was presence inside it.
What Tomorrowland Is Starting to Sound Like Now
That sense of presence didn’t exist in isolation. It was already in motion before a single set had begun. Days earlier, a fire broke out on the mainstage during final preparations. For a festival that builds entire worlds out of precision and spectacle, it could have shifted the energy before anyone arrived. But it didn’t. The rebuild was quiet. The focus remained. By the time people gathered for the summit, the mood felt steady.
In a way, that mirrored what Sadhguru was pointing to all along. Peace isn’t about silence. It’s about how we show up in noise. His presence at Tomorrowland wasn’t just a spiritual cameo. It offered a different way to experience the music, not separate from it, but through it. When stillness comes from within, even the loudest spaces don’t feel overwhelming.
Tomorrowland will always be about movement. But it’s beginning to hold space for awareness too. Not to dilute the experience, but to deepen it. That shift isn’t loud. It’s not flashy. It is there. You could hear it in the quiet before a drop, in the shared breath during a guided meditation, in the fact that thousands came for more than just the party. They came to feel present. They did.
