The Most Played Tracks From Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1
The most played tracks from Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 as Avicii, Faithless, Dimitri Vegas and more ranked among the weekend’s most played songs.
Tomorrowland returned to De Schorre in Boom, Belgium from July 17 to 19 for the first weekend of its 2026 edition, with three days of performances spread across multiple stages and a lineup covering several sides of electronic music. With so many sets taking place across the weekend, the most played tracks at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 included both recent releases and records that have remained regular fixtures in DJ sets for years, with several appearing repeatedly across different artists’ tracklists. Based on data from 1001Tracklists, four tracks tied for the highest number of plays with seven each, including Avicii’s Levels and Faithless’ Insomnia, while tracks from Dimitri Vegas, Eric Prydz, Martin Garrix, Third ≡ Party, and more also appeared among the Top 10.
10. RÜFÜS DU SOL – Innerbloom
Number of plays: 4
Innerbloom was released in 2016 as part of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s second studio album, Bloom, and runs for nearly ten minutes in its original form. The track became one of the group’s best-known releases through its long instrumental sections, gradual progression, and recognizable vocal, while later remixes from artists including What So Not, Lane 8, and Sasha helped keep it active in DJ sets years after its release. DJs can use different sections of Innerbloom across melodic house, progressive house, and other electronic sets without needing to play the full original version. Its four appearances at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 made Innerbloom one of the weekend’s 10 most played tracks, showing that the 2016 release was still being played regularly by DJs a decade after its release.
9. Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl ft. Georgi Kay – In My Mind
Number of plays: 5
In My Mind was released in 2012 by Ivan Gough and Feenixpawl with vocals from Georgi Kay, before Axwell’s mix became the version most closely associated with the track. Released through Axtone Records, the song became a major progressive house record of that era, while the Axwell mix later appeared on Swedish House Mafia’s 2012 album Until Now. Its vocal remains one of the track’s most recognizable parts, which has allowed DJs to use the original, the Axwell mix, or the acapella across different sets and mashups over the years. With five plays recorded at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1, In My Mind was still being used regularly more than a decade after its release, continuing the strong presence of older progressive house records among the weekend’s most played tracks.
8. Martin Garrix & Third ≡ Party ft. Oaks & Declan J Donovan – Carry You
Number of plays: 5
Carry You was released in February 2024 as a collaboration between Martin Garrix and Third ≡ Party, with vocals from Oaks and Declan J Donovan. Before its official release through STMPD RCRDS, the track had already become a regular part of Martin Garrix’s live sets after he began playing its recognizable intro during performances. The progressive house production and vocal-led breakdown also connected closely with the style both Martin Garrix and Third ≡ Party have been associated with across their festival sets. With five plays recorded at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1, Carry You remained one of the more frequently played progressive house tracks across the weekend, more than two years after its release.
7. Pupa Nas T & FOVOS ft. Denise Belfon – Work Edit
Number of plays: 5
Work Edit was released in June 2026 by Pupa Nas T and FOVOS, with Denise Belfon providing the vocal. The track reworks material connected to Pupa Nas T and Denise Belfon’s earlier Work, using its repeated vocal hook within a much faster electronic production that has been classified across techno, hard dance, and neo-rave platforms. Released only weeks before Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1, the edit had already started appearing in DJ sets before the festival and its short vocal phrases make it easy to recognize when mixed into harder sections of a set. With five plays recorded across the weekend, Work Edit was one of the newest releases in the Top 10 and showed how quickly the 2026 version was being picked up by DJs shortly after its release.
6. Eric Prydz – Pjanoo
Number of plays: 6
Pjanoo was released by Eric Prydz in 2008 and went on to become one of the most recognizable tracks of his career, reaching No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart and topping the UK Dance Chart. The piano hook has remained the track’s defining element, which is a big reason it still works so well in festival sets where even a brief section is immediately familiar. Over the years, DJs have continued to bring Pjanoo back through progressive house sets, mashups, and throwback moments without the track feeling tied only to the late 2000s. Its six plays at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 show that the record still had a strong presence across the festival, nearly two decades after its original release.
5. Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman x Steve Angello – Payback
Number of plays: 6
Payback was released in 2014 as a collaboration between Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman and Steve Angello, after Steve Angello had already been testing parts of the track in his festival sets before its official release. The progressive house record became closely associated with the mid-2010s festival era through its long melodic buildup and instantly recognizable lead melody, which has kept it in rotation well beyond that period. More than a decade later, DJs still return to Payback in progressive house sets and festival throwback sections, especially because the melody is familiar even when only part of the track is played. Its six plays at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 show how strongly that era of progressive house continued to appear across the weekend, with Payback ranking among the festival’s most played tracks 12 years after its original release.
4. Faithless – Insomnia
Number of plays: 7
Insomnia was first released by Faithless in 1995 before becoming a much bigger hit through its 1996 re-release, which reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The track’s spoken vocal from Maxi Jazz and its synth sequence became some of the most recognizable elements in 1990s electronic music, which is why DJs have continued returning to it through originals, edits, remixes, and mashups across different styles. Its longevity is especially notable here, with seven plays at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 putting a track first released more than 30 years ago among the most frequently played songs of the weekend. That also makes Insomnia one of several older electronic records high in this ranking, alongside Pjanoo and Payback, showing how strongly established festival classics still featured across 2026 sets.
3. Avicii – Levels
Number of plays: 7
Levels was released by Avicii in 2011 and became one of the records most closely associated with the rise of electronic dance music during the early 2010s. Built around its instantly recognizable melody and a vocal sample from Etta James’ Something’s Got a Hold on Me, the track reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart and went on to become one of Avicii’s biggest releases. More than a decade later, hearing Levels at a festival carries a different weight, especially after Avicii’s death in 2018, with DJs continuing to play the original, mashups, and edits as a tribute as much as a familiar festival record. Its seven plays at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 tied it for the highest number of appearances across the weekend, a particularly meaningful result for a track that has remained part of festival culture for nearly 15 years and continues to connect new sets back to Avicii’s legacy.
2. Bountyhunter – Woops (Dimitri Vegas & Junkie Kid Remix / BRANDON Remix)
Number of plays: 7
Woops originally dates back to 1993, when Bountyhunter released the track as part of the four-track II release during the early Belgian rave period. More than 30 years later, the record found a new audience through Dimitri Vegas and Junkie Kid’s remix, which was released in 2024 after being played at Tomorrowland and later reached No. 1 on Beatport’s Hard Dance chart. The 2026 ranking also includes plays of the BRANDON remix, giving DJs another newer version of the same recognizable hook and keeping the original record active across different styles of sets. With seven plays at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1, Woops tied for the highest number of appearances across the weekend, more than three decades after the original was first released.
1. Dimitri Vegas & Pat B ft. Sylver – Turn The Tide
Number of plays: 7
Turn The Tide traces back to Sylver’s debut single from 2000, a Belgian trance record written by Regi Penxten and Wout Van Dessel that became one of the group’s best-known releases. More than 25 years later, Pat B brought the vocal and melody back through his own harder version before joining Dimitri Vegas and Sylver for the newer rework heard throughout 2026. The track keeps the parts that made the original immediately recognizable while updating it for the faster, harder styles now appearing across festival sets, which helped it move between nostalgic familiarity and a current release. With seven plays at Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1, Turn The Tide tied for the highest number of appearances across the weekend, giving a Belgian dance classic a new chapter at Tomorrowland more than two decades after the original was released.
What The Top 10 Shows About Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 Most Played Tracks
The ranking from Tomorrowland 2026 Weekend 1 shows how often DJs returned to older dance records, with Levels, Insomnia, Pjanoo, Payback, In My Mind, and Woops all appearing in the Top 10 despite being released years, and in some cases decades, ago. Newer versions also helped bring older tracks back into regular rotation, especially with Dimitri Vegas & Pat B ft. Sylver’s Turn The Tide and the updated remixes of Bountyhunter’s Woops both reaching seven plays. Progressive house had a strong presence through Avicii, Eric Prydz, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, Steve Angello, Martin Garrix, and Third ≡ Party, while Innerbloom added another familiar record from the past decade to the list.
The ranking also makes it clear that the most played tracks from the weekend were not simply the newest releases, as several older records continued to appear because their melodies, vocals, and hooks are still immediately recognizable in DJ sets, while others have been brought back through remixes, edits, and newer versions that give DJs different ways to use them. That is why music from the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s could appear alongside much newer tracks within the same Top 10, giving the list a broader view of what DJs were actually playing across the first weekend instead of only reflecting what had been released recently. With Tomorrowland Weekend 2 still ahead, it will be interesting to see which songs remain in the Top 10, which continue gaining plays, and whether a different group of tracks starts appearing more often once the second weekend is added to the 2026 data.
