Tomorrowland Weekend 2 2025 unfolded with a different pace across the Mainstage and beyond. John Summit started Friday with the festival’s first-ever Run Club before making his Mainstage debut. Swedish House Mafia had the crowd singing together during Don’t You Worry Child, and Martin Garrix closed the weekend with Inside Our Hearts, his new track with Alesso. Before performing, Hardwell visited the Avicii tribute and spoke about their past connection, later including Levels in his set as a dedication. Dimitri Vegas played a vinyl-only solo set on the Mainstage and also joined Fantasm for a rare b2b at the Atmosphere stage.
John Summit’s presence on Friday stood out for more than just his set. Hours before taking the Mainstage, he invited fans to join him on a morning run through DreamVille, marking the first official Run Club in Tomorrowland history. Dozens showed up, sharing laughs, stretching together, and creating a casual moment of connection before the music started. Later that day, his Mainstage debut took place in the early evening, bringing a mix of tech house grooves and vocal edits that felt more club-influenced than most daytime sets. He looked genuinely happy to be up there, taking it all in before the first drop. It was an I’ve made it moment for John Summit, and the crowd responded with the same kind of excitement.
Swedish House Mafia’s return to the Tomorrowland Mainstage was one of those moments that didn’t need words. Whether this year or last, their presence up there has always been something you feel more than explain. That feeling reached its peak when they played Don’t You Worry Child and the entire crowd sang along together. It hit differently this time because after everything that happened the weekend before with the mainstage fire, people weren’t worried, they were right there, living the moment, surrounded by strangers who all understood what it meant to be back in that space, watching some of the most respected names in the scene remind them why they came.
Before his Mainstage set, Hardwell visited the Avicii tribute installation located inside the festival grounds. He later spoke on One World Radio about the bond they shared early in their careers, mentioning that Seek Bromance was almost a collaboration between them but never came to be due to scheduling. His respect for Avicii was clear, and that feeling carried into his set later that night.
When Levels came on, it wasn’t just played as a hit. It was a moment that connected people across the crowd, whether they had followed Avicii for years or were hearing the song live for the first time. There was no need for explanation. The track spoke for itself, and for those few minutes, the festival felt unified in something quiet and real.
Dimitri Vegas appeared in two separate moments during Tomorrowland Weekend 2, each showing a different side of his performance style. On Saturday, he joined Fantasm for a b2b set at the Atmosphere stage. The two came from different musical backgrounds, and that contrast shaped how the set played out. People gathered out of curiosity and stayed to hear the full mix.
Then on Sunday evening, Dimitri returned to the Mainstage for a solo vinyl-only set. It was a clear shift from the group shows he usually performs with Like Mike or Three Are Legend. The set featured vinyl selections and gave fans something noticeably different from what they typically expect from him.
Martin Garrix closed out Tomorrowland Weekend 2 on Sunday night with a set that balanced new material and familiar moments. One of the most emotional peaks came when he played High on Life, a track that has long been tied to his connection with the festival. As the song played, the kiss cam lit up the screens, showing couples and friends all around the crowd sharing the moment together. It was simple but meaningful, and it said more than any words could. Martin Garrix also played his new collaboration with Alesso, Inside Our Hearts, which many had been waiting to hear live. Ending the weekend with him felt right for a lot of people, especially those who have followed his journey with Tomorrowland for years. The music, the visuals, and the timing all came together to remind the crowd why that stage still means so much.
Tomorrowland Weekend 2 2025 was more than just a continuation of the first weekend. It offered its own mix of moments that brought people together through music, history, and shared emotion. Whether it was a surprise b2b, a vinyl-only set, or a kiss cam during a track that means something to so many, these were the kinds of experiences that stayed with people long after the final fireworks. For those who were there, and for those still watching from afar, the second weekend was a reminder of why Tomorrowland continues to hold a special place in festival culture.
