Tomorrowland Winter : The hymn of the frozen lotus
So as you could see on the facebook page I had the chance to participate in the first edition of tomorrowland winter that took place in Alpe d'Huez.
A festival of such magnitude in a ski resort was a first. Power for 7 or 4 days enjoy the beautiful ski slopes of the alpe d'huez while being surrounded by music and power at night chained by an evening at the top on the mainstage and other scenes.
Firstly let's talk about the resort itself. The station is at about 1850m and its highest point is at 3330m which can also be seen in the photo on the right.
The resort was very nice and clean as well as a friendly staff. The slopes are well maintained and above all are for all levels and offer various views all more beautiful than the others.
Access to the different slopes and chairlifts is easily done with the free shuttles on site.
Now let's talk about the festival and at first some scenes on the slopes.
They were varied with certain peculiarities like the scenes Amicorum Spectaculum which took place at "La folies douces" which proposed us besides a sound system of quality of small very nice shows. (Can see few of them on my aftermovie)
The love scene was also a beautiful scene taking place in a very nice place with an ice bar and walls of ice. A great place to eat and drink. The surprise act on this scene was Steve Aoki and the set was very nice to listen to and the atmosphere was at its best under the beating snow.
The other scenes on the slopes were much smaller but quality with mostly techno sets that were really nice.
A positive point and important is that all scenes including those mountains were accessible via chairlifts including without ski.
Now let's talk about the festival itself by starting with the biggest stage that is the Mainstage. It was smaller, of course, than the mainstage of the summer edition, but it was nonetheless detailed and illuminated on all sides. The mainstage started in the late afternoon until 22 hours. The pyrotechnics was amazing we had anthology drops. Enjoying the show under a heavy snow was unreal like a dream !
The garden of madness was an indoor scene where he was warm fortunately the locker room was available to leave our clothes much too hot.
The scenes and lights were on top and the butterflies were present at the Bringing Back The Madness party at Sportpaleis Antwerp.
The Orangerie scene was half indoor and outdoor. This scene has hosted a large variety of artists and muscial genres. Special mention to the Qdance Takeover who was crazy about the sound and the atmosphere especially during the set of Sub Zero Project when Mc Villain asks us if we are starting for 5 extra tracks are a conclusion with Nothing Like The Old School.
The Moose Bar was pure fun, both inside and out. A top experience to live.
The variety of dj was good as well as the number of genre represent. I was just a little disappointed by the act surprises that were in the end DJs already seen on other scenes. But that aside the lineup was very good and each set was a pleasure to live.
It was a great experience especially from a human point of view I had the chance to make lots of meetings. I laugh to dance and chat with people from all over the world. This is what marks a tomorrowland experience.
An experience to live in his life.
You can see my after movie too !
Live Today Love Tomorrow United Forever
