There are thousands of music festivals in 2024 and surely a good number of them are dance music festivals. There’s pros and cons to all of them, but one festival dominates the imaginations of people around the world. Launched in 2004, Tomorrowland has grown to become an idyllic fantasy land that exists for two (formerly 1) short weekend(s) in July, featuring a symphony of music, nature, color, and magic. Whereas most festivals are a raging good time, Tomorrowland is a rite of passage or a pilgrimage for anybody who enjoys electronic dance music. Tomorrowland inhabits the gorgeous De Schorre Park in Boom, Belgium, and is fortunate enough to have built a strong relationship with the locality. Tomorrowland has grown in tandem with the park, such that Tomorrowland has turned the park into the closest thing we’ll ever get to a permanent music festival theme park.

Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Metal vocalists might not show up very often on The Voice, but that’s not to say that metal vocalists can’t have singing voices on par with the best blues, R&B, or soul singers. Sure, there are metal bands that we love despite their singers being technically awful (coughcoughDaveMustainecoughcough), but for every one of them, there’s someone like metal legend Ronnie James Dio who had a vocal range of over four octaves. Maybe it is time they had a metal coach on The Voice. Is Sebastian Bach busy with anything? Probably not. But, while Opeth may be considered one of the greatest progressive metal bands of all time, vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt says he doesn’t think of himself as much of a singer.
