Emerging DJ RANYO leverages a viral challenge and heavyweight endorsements to join Vini Vici for the 2026 festival finale.
Tomorrowland has confirmed a last-minute addition to its Sunday closing set. RANYO will join Vini Vici on the Mainstage after successfully navigating an ultimatum set by festival organizers via DM.
The challenge required 10,000 likes and public endorsements from Martin Garrix and Afrojack within a 48-hour window. The campaign exceeded targets, amassing over 170,000 likes and the necessary industry backing to lock in the booking.
RANYO moves from the front row to the booth, marking a significant jump for the up-and-coming selector. The appearance is scheduled for the final day of the festival's first weekend in Boom.
While the industry debates the merit of social-media-driven bookings, the result is a locked slot for RANYO alongside the psy-trance veterans. Tomorrowland continues its weekend one run with a heavy rotation of techno and house staples.
