Charlotte de Witte is set to make electronic music history at Tomorrowland 2025, becoming the first artist ever to perform twice on the Mainstage in a single day. On Saturday, July 19th, the Belgian techno icon will both open and close the Mainstage, creating an unforgettable, full-circle moment in the world of electronic festivals.
This historic performance will take place during the first weekend of Tomorrowland, running from July 18 to 20 in Boom, Belgium. De Witte’s day will begin with a special Daybreak set, celebrated for its deep, hypnotic, and minimal techno sound — a sonic style that has propelled her journey from underground star to global headliner.
Later that night, she will return to the same stage to deliver the closing set, uniting the day’s energy in a powerful crescendo. Tens of thousands of fans are expected to witness this groundbreaking achievement in one of the most anticipated moments of the festival.
“This year, I’ll be playing on the Mainstage – not once, but twice,” said Charlotte de Witte in a recent press release. “Back in 2011, after winning a DJ contest, I had the chance to open the Mainstage of Tomorrowland. It basically changed my life. In 2022, I was the first techno and female act to close the same Mainstage. Fast forward to 2025 – I will be both opening and closing the Mainstage on the same day.”
