Six days. For everyone convinced Tomorrowland is all euphoric hands-in-the-air stuff, the bass stages exist to rearrange your internal organs. This is the corner of the festival with the fewest phones out and the most damage done to necks and knees:
1. REZZ - Edge
The goggles, the hypnosis-spiral visuals, the mid-tempo dread. REZZ built a whole world and this is a clean way into it. It sits around 110bpm and hits harder than tracks running twice the speed. Nobody else on a mainstage-level bill sounds remotely like her, and that’s the point.
2. GRiZ & Subtronics - Griztronics
Two of dubstep’s biggest names making the most gleefully stupid drop in the genre. That wobble at the one-minute mark is designed to make a crowd headbang until their necks give out. Subtronics plays Tomorrowland this year, so somewhere in that field a spine is in genuine danger.
Bring a neck brace. Mean it.
