Dreamstate is a staple of the U.S. trance scene known for its euphoric energy. It will be taking place on November 21–22 in Long Beach, California. The stunning waterfront venue is also right next to the iconic Queen Mary. Dreamstate stands as one of the few large-scale trance festivals in the country, alongside newer events like Into the Sequence.

Tiësto’s appearance at Dreamstate will follow up his surprise “In Search of Sunrise” set at EDC Las Vegas earlier this year. Overall, the set was an emotional throwback to his origins in trance. It served as a reminder of the timeless sound that first launched his global career. With this Dreamstate set marking only his second trance performance of 2025, fans are left wondering: is this the beginning of a full-blown trance resurgence for Tiësto?

While the success of his genre-blending Prismatic Tour is still fresh, many fans are hopeful that more classic sets—or even a dedicated return to trance tour—could be on the horizon.

Shyra Sanchez Releases New Operator Remixes Package With Dave Audé, Bimbo Jones, Until Dawn, Marc Baigent, and Try Harder

Shyra Sanchez releases new Operator remixes package as her debut single continues to gain support across dance radio, club charts, and international airplay. The original version of Operator has already reached No. 37 on the Billboard Dance Mixshow Airplay Chart, No. 34 on Mediabase, and No. 1 on the DRT Global Top 100 Independent Airplay Chart for two consecutive weeks, while also picking up UK Music Week club chart action and spins on Kiss FM’s Future Dance Anthems. With the record already moving across the US and UK dance music space, the remix package gives Operator a wider club run through new versions from Dave Audé, Bimbo Jones, Until Dawn, Marc Baigent, and Try Harder.

Operator Extends Its Run Beyond The Original Release

For a debut single, Operator has already gathered a strong amount of early support across several dance music channels. Its Billboard Dance Mixshow Airplay position points to US radio traction, while the Mediabase placement and two-week run at No. 1 on the DRT Global Top 100 Independent Airplay Chart show that the record has found movement beyond one isolated chart. The UK response adds another part to that story, with Music Week club chart activity and Kiss FM’s Future Dance Anthems giving the single more visibility on the other side of the Atlantic.

The remix package now extends that original run by giving DJs, radio programmers, and club selectors different versions of Operator to work with. Instead of treating the remix release as a separate add-on, the package keeps Shyra Sanchez’s vocal performance as the thread that connects each version back to the original. That helps the release stay focused on her as the artist behind the record, while still allowing each producer to take the single into a different club direction.

Dave Audé, Bimbo Jones, Until Dawn, Marc Baigent, And Try Harder Rework Operator

Dave Audé brings one of the strongest remix profiles to the package, arriving off the back of remix work for Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Madonna, and Jennifer Lopez. His version of Operator leans into a heavier club direction, with the press release pointing to its chunkier kick drum approach. Bimbo Jones, whose remix credits include Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Kylie Minogue, takes the single into funkier house territory, giving the package a brighter and more groove-led version while keeping the vocal hook recognizable.

The rest of the package widens the single further without pulling it away from its original identity. Until Dawn takes Operator into a more bass-heavy version, adding extra weight to the release, while Marc Baigent and Try Harder complete the lineup with additional club-focused interpretations. Across the package, the remixes give Operator several routes into DJ sets, club floors, and dance radio, from funky house movement to heavier bass and kick-led versions.

As Shyra Sanchez prepares for her next single, Dance With Me, scheduled to arrive in June 2026, the Operator remixes package keeps her debut single active before the next release begins. With chart movement, radio support, club chart action, and a handpicked remix lineup now behind the record, Operator continues to introduce Shyra Sanchez to a wider dance music audience.

An aerial shot at Tomorrowland of a massive blue and yellow Swedish flag bearing a portrait of Avicii and the words "One Day You Will Remember" and "Tim Bergling 1989–2018" being held aloft by hundreds of fans on the festival grounds, in a moving tribute to the late artist.

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.
