Tomorrowland celebrates 20 Years Anniversary in Belgium

I am a big music lover and festival goer. I love a diverse range of music styles including Electronic and Dance music. As I am living in Belgium a visit to the world most famous festival Tomorrowland in Boom is a must. In Belgium it is the best festival and if I can believe many others abroad it is indeed something special. The festival also has a big fan base in Brazil who cross the ocean to take part in this magical experience at the "sacred grounds" of Boom.

Celebrating 20 Years of Tomorrowland

Looking back on 20 years of uniting the world filled with love, beautiful friendships and magical memories, Tomorrowland is excited to celebrate its 20−year anniversary in 2024. Set to open up a new world in the beautiful scenery of De Schorre in Boom (Belgium) in the summer of 2024, the festival's new theme 'LIFE' is the prequel of the 2016 'Elixir of Life' theme. Tomorrowland Belgium 2024 will take place across two weekends from July 19−21 and July 26−28, welcoming 400.000 People of Tomorrow from over 200 countries.

Tomorrowland returns to Brazil

Tomorrowland Brasil will take place on October 11−13, 2024, in the beautiful festival area of Parque Maeda in Itu, a municipality of São Paulo. Last year, Tomorrowland celebrated its grand return to Brazil with people from around the world uniting as one.This year's Brazilian edition will introduce people into the world of 'Adscendo', turning Parque Maeda in Itu into a magical destination high on the horizon.Following many years of tradition, the captivating 'Adscendo' stage was brought to life by Tomorrowland's creative team and is 100% crafted in−house at Tomorrowland, from idea to realization and made with love and passion. The breathtaking stage was first unveiled at Tomorrowland Belgium in 2023 and will now find a new home in Brazil, taking the People of Tomorrow along to embark on a secret journey toward a peculiar destination and witness the rise of a magnificent tale at the festival grounds of Parque Maeda.

Brazilians present at Tomorrowland

Brazilians Love Tomorrowland

Brazil is always present at Tomorrowland Belgium

Every year hundreds of Brazilians (160 estimated) travel to Tomorrowland Boom. Even with the return of Tomorrowland Brasil since 2023 Brazilians continue to cross the ocean to enjoy the 'Sacred Grounds' in Boom.

For many it has become a 'Way of Live' and also for myself it has become an addiction. My festival summer would not be complete if I could not go to Tomorrowland Belgium. This sacred ground is truly the place where the magic happens with thousands of people coming from all over the world.

Prepare to be Astonished

Let me tell you a remarkable story...There is a place, located in a unique, remote location. Where humans and birds have inspired each other for centuries. Living together in wondrous harmony. Where almost everything is directed upwards. A group of guilds came together, to embark on a sacred mission. Follow the thread of this ancient tapestry.

And prepare to be astonished. Anything is possible... If we work together on this divine mission and believe in our true destiny. ADSCENDO (Tomorrowland)

MY COLLECTIONS

Nike's National Team Collections for Brazil

I am a big fan of soccer and I especially love the national soccer team of Brazil. During the world cup in Brazil in 2014 I was able to attend the first three football matches of the Belgian Red Devils. It was was a once in a lifetime and an unforgettable experience! In 2022 I was also cheering for the Brazilian team and was hoping that they could bring the World Cup home again but unfortunately it appeared to be 'wishfull thinking'. I loved the Brazilian national team collection of Nike for the 2022 World Cup and did expand my Brazilian collection with some nice sportive clothes which I will share at later time. But in 2024 the Copa América was on the agenda and a new Team Collection was presented in March 2024. The 2024 Copa América was held across the United States from June 20 to July 14, 2024 bringing together 16 participating nations and it is here that the new Nike Brazil 2024 home kit was worn. Unfortunately Brazil could not win the tournament this time. Argentina was the defending champion, and successfully won a record sixteenth title after defeating Colombia 1–0 after extra time in the final.

The new Nike Brazil 2024 home jersey is interesting. While it, of course, has the traditional color scheme of yellow and green, it comes with a second, very pale yellow. The graphics in the lighter shade of yellow of the Brazil 2024 kit showcase Brazilian fauna and culture. The color scheme reflects the campaign motto "Brazil Para Todos" ("Brazil for All"), and the country's stylized flag can be seen inside the collar. From music to macaws, Sugarloaf Mountain to world−famous beaches, all of Brazil is contained within the richly textured pattern of the 2024 National Team Home Kit. Green details make their way onto the collar completing the iconic Brazilian look that every soccer fan knows, while the sleeve cuffs have a green and blue wave pattern honoring Brazil's chaotic nature . A unique design is featured on the Canary Yellow base, representing Brazil's music, architecture, and natural wonders. A redesigned look brings the iconic Brazil crest to the center of the jersey, paying homage to the jerseys of the early 2000s. (source: Nike)
