Tomorrowland and its official App for iOS

Good afternoon everybody. If you like music, and especially electronics, you must read this post.

Tomorrowland

Today begins Tomorrowland, a festival, one of the reference festivals in terms of electronic music, booming in recent years and awarded in previous editions as one of the best festivals in the world. In it, the greatest and best artists of the genre meet, to make an audience dance that in 2013 reached the 200.000 Attendees and that in this special edition of 2014 it is rumored that it will far exceed the 300.000 attendees, since this edition, the festival celebrates 10 years of existence, and what used to be a single weekend (Friday saturday and sunday) of music without a break, this year they have extended it to two weekends (this one, which starts today and the one that comes next). So this year it's a double serving of Tomorrowland.

Apart from these assistants who travel to the Belgian city of Boom, Tomorrowland has millions of followers on their social networks, to satisfy this immense audience, which is impossible to attend (Tickets and passes are usually sold out within a few minutes of being on sale worldwide). Tomorrowland It has applications that offer almost all of the festival's live performances.

The Official App

In this post we are going to analyze the application that the festival has dedicated to in the App Store, for iPhone, iPod and iPad.

In the first place we find a screen in which we must select which weekend we want the information about (mainly related to artists and schedules). Once we have selected the one that interests us, during those days, the App will show us only information for those days (You can always change the weekend by pressing the settings button in the App) and once they pass, it will show us the information for the following weekend (if we start obviously, at the beginning of the festival).

Then it will take us to starting screen, in which from the beginning it immerses us in the Tomorrowland universe, with striking designs that match what is shown on social networks, website and above all, in the Main Stage (main stage) of the festival itself. From this screen, and sliding to the right, it shows us an hourglass, with what would be a countdown from two weeks before until the opening of the festival doorsNow, obviously, the festival started this morning at 12:00, so the countdown is empty.

All kinds of information available

Returning to the main screen, we are going to break down some of the main functions that, in turn, will be quite useful if we have not been able to attend the festival. First, we will find a list alphabetically ordered of all artists associated with the festival, highlighting those who will perform in it in such a way that, if there is one in which you have special interest, you can add it to your personal favorites list to be able to make you a fully customized schedule and thus not miss any artist that you like.

In the same way, we have the possibility of knowing the schedules and artists, by different sections within the App, by means of the button "Stages", "Timetables" or "Map", which also, in this last section, we can access a view of how the stages are distributed around the venue. In "Maps", we can also access a map of the Dreamville, that is, the festival campsite, as a curiosity, to say that if we were at the festival, and through geolocation, we could locate exactly where our tent is, which is quite useful at 7 in the morning when, after 12 hours of non-stop dancing, no one wants to get lost around the campsite in search of their tent.

Tomorrowland Radio

Apart from other sections such as  where to eat inside the enclosure a gallery quite extensive of photographs of previous editions and practical information about the festival, accesses, parking for cars and various recommendations, we get to what really matters about the festival, music And how can we follow everything that is being played at the festival live? By Tomorrowland Radio, By clicking on its icon, it takes us directly to another screen, through which we will listen to all the sessions they broadcast. further being able to exit the application without stopping ringing.

For my part, nothing else, only, I recommend that you download this App if you want to follow the festival. And even more, if you are at home, in the Tomorrowland Youtube channel They will also broadcast the most important performances so if you want to get an idea of ​​the atmosphere I think these two forms are the best you have if you do not have the coveted entry.
