Tomorrowland Is Coming to Las Vegas in 2027, but Probably Not as a Festival

Last week, people at Tomorrowland in Belgium spotted a banner that listed Las Vegas as one of their destinations for 2027. Tomorrowland is one of the world's largest electronic dance music (EDM) events, attracting about 400,000 people to Belgium over its two weekends. With the recent 2027 banner’s list of destinations for next year, people are wondering if it means that Sin City may have another large festival rivaling the annual Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) coming to town next year. 

The banner appeared near the entrance of a camping area at the festival as Tomorrowland kicked off on Friday, June 17, in Boom, Belgium. It shows the slogan “Tomorrowland Uniting the World in 2027” with six different destinations throughout the world listed below in which appear to be in chronological order: France, Las Vegas, Brazil, Ibiza, Belgium, and Thailand. 

Las Vegas sits in the second spot on the banner, positioned between France (Tomorrowland Winter) and Brazil (Tomorrowland Brazil). Festival organizers have not yet confirmed dates, venue, format, or any additional details.

Casinos.com reached out to Tomorrowland for comment, and a spokesperson did not confirm or deny Las Vegas plans for 2027, but pointed to the brand's existing UNITY collaboration at the Sphere as a reference point rather than any new announcement.

Why The Timeline Makes a Full Festival Unlikely

This year, Tomorrowland Belgium featured popular artists in the EDM scene, including Martin Garrix, David Guetta, John Summit, and Sara Landry, among many others. Many people in the EDM scene would easily recognize these names, but they are among the best of the best in dance music today. 

A lot of the speculation online has been around if Tomorrowland will have a presence at EDC Las Vegas, whether it's as a stage, a specific brand activation area, or some type of collaborative event during EDC Week. 

A banner at the entrance to the Dreamville camping area at Tomorrowland Belgium shows all the destinations for next year in what looks to be chronoloical order.

It's a fun concept, but the specific dates on the banner would make it unlikely. EDC Las Vegas will be held over two weekends in May next year, placing it chronologically after Tomorrowland Brazil, which runs from April 30 to May 2. If the banner is correctly listing the destinations in order, Las Vegas would have to appear third on the list rather than second for an elaborate EDC collaboration to be the case. 

That doesn't necessarily mean that a Tomorrowland-adjacent event during EDC is fully ruled out; it just wouldn't necessarily be the main event referenced on the banner. The primary event almost certainly will land in April, if not late March. And whatever comes of it that happens near EDC would be a separate thing entirely. 

A full-on Tomorrowland festival is another thing people are buzzing about online, which would be the brand's first standalone event in Las Vegas if it were to happen. Tomorrowland has not staged a full festival in the United States since TomorrowWorld took place in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, from 2013 to 2015. That event eventually went on hiatus and has not returned since. 

Only One Vegas Venue Could Really Work

Bringing a Tomorrowland festival back to the U.S. would be a joy to many American EDM fans, but another practical problem is the venue. Though Las Vegas is a huge event town, it does not have many large outdoor event spaces built for a festival of Tomorrowland's scale. 

Tomorrowland Belgium used a 537-acre outdoor area for the festival, so the venue has to be large enough to accommodate at least a majority of that space, similar to past ones.

Within the city, Allegiant Stadium and the Las Vegas Festival Grounds across the street from the Sahara have capacity limitations for such a large production. Allegiant is only 62 acres, and Las Vegas Festival Grounds is 37, both of which are minuscule compared to the Speedway. Size matters, so the Motor Speedway would be the most practical venue for an event like this, raising questions about whether it can even happen there at that time next year.

The Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which hosts EDC Las Vegas, would be the most realistic candidate, given its ample space to accommodate multiple outdoor stages. The Speedway is about 1,200 acres, and EDC regularly turns about 910 acres of that space into a mini-city for the three-day festival. 

Betting Big on Tomorrowland’s Return to the Sphere

Based on Tomorrowland’s statement to Casinos.com, the most plausible return scenario would be a return of Tomorrowland and Insomniac’s UNITY residency at the Sphere. UNITY debuted last year during Labor Day weekend and continued into October. It was a huge milestone in bringing Tomorrowland back to the U.S. in its own way and was an event partnership with one of the country's biggest festival organizers.

It brought the immersive, magical visuals of a rave to the Sphere's 16K-resolution wraparound LED display and immersive sound system. Each night featured sets from headlining music producers like Kaskade, Slander, Subtronics, and Sara Landry. Many of them headline at nightclubs and dayclubs at Wynn, Fontainebleau, and Resorts World. But several of those performers didn’t have Vegas residencies at the time, so it was a huge opportunity to see them inside such a high-tech venue.

The Sphere makes sense as a venue for a Tomorrowland-branded event. It's built for large-scale productions, and it recently hosted DJ Illenium’s special residency in March and July. already has an established relationship with Tomorrowland through the UNITY residency last year. The return of UNITY during the spring of 2027 would also perfectly fit the chronological gap in the banner timeline. 

Las Vegas seems like a natural next step for the Tomorrowland brand. EDM flourishes here more than in most other American cities, giving Vegas the informal title of the dance music capital of the United States. Whether it's residencies at nightclubs and dayclubs across the Strip or EDC Vegas, which brings even more major artists here, the city knows how to host popular headlining artists. 

Whatever form it takes, it will be a major win to see Tomorrowland and what they do in Las Vegas next year. Whether it's a full-on festival or the UNITY residency returns to Sphere, who knows what performers we could see taking the stage?
