TomorrowWorld is a large electronic music festival held in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. TomorrowWorld, as Tomorrowland, is organized by ID&T Belgium, owned by two brothers: Manu and Michiel Beers. ID&T Belgium used to be a joint venture with ID&T Holland, however, the two brothers bought out all the shares after ID&T Holland was sold to SFX, an American entertainment company. The festival resides in the town of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, 25 miles southwest of Atlanta, and has taken place since 2013. In its inaugural year, TomorrowWorld received a nomination for Best Music Event at the International Dance Music Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IDMA Nominees for the year 2013 presented in 2014 )〕 ==History== In March 2013, ID&T and SFX Entertainment announced that it would start holding an American spin-off of Tomorrowland, known as TomorrowWorld. The festival is held at Chattahoochee Hills, near Atlanta, Georgia. The site was specifically chosen due to its resemblance to Boom, Belgium, where Tomorrowland is traditionally held. In June 2013, festival organizers revealed the "Book of Wisdom" design from Tomorrowland 2012 would be reused as the main stage for the inaugural edition of TomorrowWorld, symbolizing the "next chapter" of the Tomorrowland festival through its expansion into the U.S. Given TomorrowWorld was the first EDM event following two deaths at New York’s Electric Zoo Festival, ticket sales slower than expected overall. Adding the unconventional location and a higher age restriction of 21, industry insiders feared a potential flop. Nevertheless, TomorrowWorld had a successful inaugural edition without incidents. During the final week of September of that year, over 140,000 people gathered at Chattahoochee Hills, near Atlanta, Georgia to listen to the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Hardwell and more than 300 other EDM artists performing on eight different stages. Nearly 30,000 individuals stayed on site at the TomorrowWorld campground, known as Dreamville. All told, people from seventy-five different countries and all fifty U.S. states attended the inaugural TomorrowWorld festival. The second edition of TomorrowWorld happened on September 2014, and brought a larger crowd with 150,000 attendants.〔()〕 An innovation was employing only cashless transactions, done by the same radio-frequency identification wristbands that served as entry tickets.〔()〕 The third edition happened in September 2015, but was marred by severe rain that caused many shuttle buses to get stuck on the way out, and caused the cancellation of all cabs and Ubers (despite the fact that Uber had co-sponsored the event), leaving thousands of people stranded without shelter for the night.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TomorrowWorld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
