A surprise 60-minute set at The Gathering paired the 'Daddy Trance' architect with the festival fixture.
Marlon Hoffstadt and Dimitri Vegas delivered their first-ever collaborative set during Tomorrowland’s opening night. The one-hour performance at The Gathering served as a live test for a partnership that has been brewing since their January release 'Makina Time.'
While Vegas is a staple of the Belgian festival, Hoffstadt’s recent ascent has shifted his trajectory toward these massive stages. The set leaned heavily into high-energy European styles, bridging the gap between stadium EDM and the faster, trance-indebted sound Hoffstadt is currently driving.
The Gathering traditionally functions as an unannounced showcase for DreamVille campers. This year, the secret lineup also featured Netsky and Afrojack, with the entire evening broadcast via OneWorld Radio.
