Tomorrowland Honours Avicii With The Return Of A Tribute Experience
Tomorrowland honours Avicii with the return of a tribute experience, original artefacts, remastered live sets and an exclusive festival collection.
Fifteen years after his first unforgettable performance on the MainStage in 2011, Tomorrowland once again pays tribute to Tim “Avicii” Bergling, the artist who helped shape the sound of a generation and bring electronic music into the mainstream.

THE AVICII TRIBUTE EXPERIENCE
At Tomorrowland Belgium 2026, festivalgoers will once again be invited into a dedicated Avicii Tribute Experience: a 144-square-meter immersive installation celebrating the music, creativity and legacy of one of dance music’s most influential artists. At the heart of the experience is a large-scale LED screen featuring an exclusive audiovisual piece that brings together iconic festival moments, intimate studio footage and personal creative moments, offering a unique perspective on Avicii not only as a performer, but also as a songwriter, producer and musical visionary.
The experience combines never-before-seen imagery, personal stories and audiovisual storytelling from Avicii’s Tomorrowland journey, inviting visitors to reconnect with the artist behind the music and the moments that defined a generation.
For the first time ever, original artefacts from Tim “Avicii” Bergling’s personal collection will be exhibited outside the walls of the Avicii Experience Museum in Stockholm. Several iconic items connected to Avicii’s career and creative process will be on display, offering fans a rare glimpse into his world.
Visitors will also have access to a dedicated Avicii space featuring exclusive collection and limited-edition pieces created especially for Tomorrowland Belgium 2026. Access to the experience is limited and requires advance reservation.
AVICII X TOMORROWLAND COLLECTION
To accompany the tribute experience, Tomorrowland will launch an exclusive Avicii x Tomorrowland collection, available online and at Tomorrowland Belgium 2026.
Inspired by the visual language of sound, the collection incorporates artwork based on sound waves and the Doppler effect, translating Avicii’s musical legacy into a contemporary visual identity. The limited collection serves as a tribute to his enduring influence on electronic music and festival culture.

REMASTERED TOMORROWLAND SETS IN SPATIAL AUDIO
As part of the tribute, fans around the world will be able to relive some of Avicii’s most legendary Tomorrowland performances through newly remastered recordings of his 2012, 2014 and 2015 sets. Available via Apple Music and the Tomorrowland App, the sets have been remastered in Spatial Audio, allowing listeners to experience these iconic performances with a new level of depth and immersion.
A DEFINING TOMORROWLAND LEGACY
Avicii made his Tomorrowland debut in 2011, surprising festivalgoers on the MainStage with “Levels”, a defining moment in his career as the track had not yet been officially released. He returned in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, with his final MainStage appearance becoming one of the most memorable performances in Tomorrowland history.
Following his passing, Avicii’s connection with Tomorrowland has remained stronger than ever. In 2018, festivalgoers paid tribute to him during Nicky Romero’s MainStage set, when a giant Swedish flag bearing his image was spread across the crowd in an emotional moment of remembrance.
Today, his music continues to resonate throughout the festival grounds, with artists across the line-up regularly honoring his legacy through their performances. His iconic anthem “Levels” has been voted the number one track in the Tomorrowland Top 1000 three times, cementing its place as one of the most beloved tracks in the history of dance music.
