Alan Walker WE1
Tomorrowland 2025
Alan Walker’s Tomorrowland 2025 set is a neon-drenched parade of his greatest hits and festival-ready edits, a victory lap for an artist whose melodies are embedded in a generation’s psyche. The vibe is pure, uncomplicated celebration—a sea of illuminated hoodies moving in unison to every familiar chord. This is pop-EDM and electro house at its most accessible, with a BPM average of 137.7 that leans into energetic, four-on-the-floor territory. The key of 12A dominates, providing that bright, anthemic quality his music is known for.
The energy is split between a punchy low-end and a prominent, vocal-heavy mid-range, creating a sound that’s designed for singing along at the top of your lungs. Walker’s mixing is straightforward and effective, serving the songs rather than intricate technique. The tracklist is, unsurprisingly, a walk through his catalog and similar vibes. The opener ‘ARHY - Orbit’ sets a cosmic, uplifting tone, while the Dash Berlin remix of ‘Faded’ is a nostalgic tearjerker rebooted for the mainstage.
The Blazars remix of ‘Alone’ provides a harder, more contemporary edge, and his collaboration with FAANGS, ‘Heartbreak Melody’, is a slick, modern pop-EDM hybrid. Gazin_GP’s ‘Moon School’ is an interesting, melodic interlude. The journey is a crowd-pleasing arc: it launches with the atmospheric ‘Orbit’, reaches its sentimental peak with the rebuilt classics like ‘Faded’, and sends everyone off smiling with the feel-good, piano-driven closer ‘My Friend’ by Satorius. It’s a set that knows its audience and delivers exactly what they came for: a big, emotional, sing-along hug.
