Alan Walker
Tomorrowland Belgium 2018
Alan Walker at Tomorrowland Belgium 2018 is for the pop-EDM faithful, where we embrace the cheesy drops and familiar melodies with the earnestness of teenagers at their first rave. We're here to sing along to 'Faded' and not feel ashamed about it. The atmosphere is vibrant and inclusive, with kaleidoscopic visuals and a crowd spanning generations, all united by catchy hooks. This live set averages 115.4 BPM, traversing keys like 12A and 3B to blend electro house with vocal-driven anthems.
Energy is mid-focused at 0.51, with low at 0.41, creating a balanced sound that's both punchy and melodic, while high energy at 0.08 adds sparkle for drops. Walker's mixing is straightforward and crowd-pleasing, using recognizable builds and drops to maintain engagement, with harmonic progressions that lean into major keys for uplift. The journey is a rollercoaster of feels, from moody intros to euphoric choruses. Notable tracks include 'Alan Walker - The Spectre' as a signature banger, 'Sia - Move Your Body (Alan Walker Remix)' for its pop crossover appeal, 'Alan Walker - Hymn For The Weekend [Remix]' for its opening bombast, and 'NIVIRO - Flares' as a trance-inflected highlight.
'TJR - Bounce Generation' injects some big room energy, while 'heRobust - Move Mint (VIP)' shows a bass music detour. It opens with the anthemic 'Alan Walker - Hymn For The Weekend [Remix]', peaks with the crowd-roaring 'Alan Walker - The Spectre', and closes on the sentimental 'Alan Walker - Sing Me to Sleep'.
