Second Shanghai edition
Tomorrowland held the second edition of The Magic of Tomorrowland in Shanghai in partnership with Hero Esports, INS LAND and Budweiser, Hero Esports said. The two-day event was sold out and took place at Hero Dome in INS SEA, a waterfront destination in the city's western Huangpu district. It brought together thousands of festivalgoers.
Locally built stage
The main stage was 88 metres wide. The production included 72 moving ceiling screens, 2,867 square metres of new LED screen, 692 moving lights and laser fixtures, and 120 L-acoustic speakers. The scenography was built entirely locally, the production was developed under local safety requirements, and sustainability formed part of the planning.
