Charlotte De Witte is everywhere all at once. This is not only a reference to the Belgian-born artist’s rigorous tour schedule that takes her to six continents at near world-record pace, but to the ubiquitous influence she has on the world at large.

If she isn’t on stage playing her unique brand of techno that touches on American styles like Acid infused with the hammering sound that her fellow Europeans brought into the global conversation, her face is on a poster promoting the next time she’s coming to town.

If she just came through the region, someone there is sure to be listening to her music on their headphones, absorbing the wide variety of sounds from the bangers she provides to massive crowds, to the ruthless ambient that is somehow just as intense despite the lack of drums.

And if it’s not her music, someone is likely listening to one of the many releases she’s personally curated via her label KNTXT. Fellow tastemakers and frequent lineup-mates like ONYVAA, Indira Paganotto, Chris Liebing, and Acid Asian have all offered their talents to KNTXT as the brand consistently grows into a thriving family of artists.

Beyond the label, KNTXT is also synonymous with a striking fashion collection. The angular “X” logo is like a bat signal at techno events around the world, communicating a shared reverence for what Charlotte De Witte has created and continues to create. Her design has also extended into other brands as she did with Filling Pieces during ADE 2022.

In the last few years, De Witte has been on the cover of Mixmag and DJ Mag, she’s held a residency on BBC Radio 1, won Best Techno at the DJ awards, and played every major techno event in the world.

She’s going everywhere.  She’s doing everything. And she shows no signs of stopping.

Tomorrowland is one of the world’s largest and most iconic electronic music festivals, held annually in Boom, Belgium. Since its inception in the mid-2000s, it has evolved from a modest one-day event into a multi-weekend extravaganza that draws hundreds of thousands of “People of Tomorrow” from around the globe. Each summer, the festival transforms the De Schorre park into a magical wonderland where music and fantasy converge amid elaborate stages and massive crowds.

Each edition of Tomorrowland is built around an immersive theme that influences everything from the décor to the Mainstage design. Over the years, the festival grounds have been turned into fairy-tale forests, enchanted kingdoms, and underwater worlds. Iconic Mainstage sets - from the giant open book of the “Book of Wisdom” to the carnival-style wonders of “Amicorum Spectaculum” - have set new benchmarks for festival production. Enormous moving stages, pyrotechnics, and synchronized light shows create a multi-sensory experience.

Tomorrowland boasts an unparalleled lineup of electronic music talent across all subgenres. Its stages have been headlined by superstar DJs like 

, and so many more. With dozens of stages hosting hundreds of artists, the festival caters to tastes ranging from house and techno to trance and hardstyle. Beyond the music, the atmosphere fosters a sense of global unity - attendees wave flags from every corner of the world, and Tomorrowland’s motto “Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever” is reflected in the crowd’s camaraderie. This celebration of diversity and togetherness has become central to Tomorrowland’s identity, turning the event into a cultural melting pot.

Tomorrowland’s success in Belgium led to international editions carrying its spirit abroad.

Tomorrowland’s growth from a local Belgian event into a global phenomenon exemplifies how music can transcend borders and unite people. Its high-production spectacle and emphasis on storytelling have set new standards, inspiring other music festivals worldwide. Through its aftermovies and live broadcasts, Tomorrowland has helped push electronic dance music into the mainstream. Today, it stands not just as an annual festival, but as a symbol of global unity and the transformative power of music.
