Tomorrowland Music, the music division behind the iconic music festival Tomorrowland, has announced an exclusive global agreement with BMG to manage and administer the company’s music publishing rights and co-sign new songwriters and producers. This partnership marks a significant step in Tomorrowland Music’s growth as a full-service music company.
The collaboration with BMG enhances Tomorrowland Music’s ability to offer more comprehensive services to the electronic music industry. Building on its recorded music division—launched three years ago in partnership with Virgin/Universal—the label has seen steady releases from top global electronic music artists like Vintage Culture, Martin Garrix, Alok, Timmy Trumpet, Jengi, Denis Sulta and many more.
In recent years, Tomorrowland Music has expanded into a fully-fledged music operation, with a team of A&Rs, marketing and DSP specialists, a sync manager, and finance and legal support. With the addition of a dedicated publishing team through this new partnership with BMG, Tomorrowland Music is set to offer even stronger support to the global electronic music community, particularly in music creation and sync opportunities.
Michel Van Buyten: “Tomorrowland Music aims to collaborate with the world’s best electronic music producers and writers, helping them create exceptional music that resonates globally. Leveraging the power of the broader Tomorrowland and CORE ecosystems, the partnership with BMG will push the boundaries of what electronic music can achieve.”
Levy Isabella, BMG Managing Director Benelux: “Partnering with Tomorrowland Music unites some of the world’s biggest names in electronic music with BMG’s expertise to discover and nurture new talent. Together we aim to build a bridge between our world class songwriters and next-gen, top tier talent. As we co-host our next songwriting SoundLab during ADE in Amsterdam, we’re sure to create some of the most innovative new music fans have yet to hear.”
Lab of Tomorrow writing camp
Tomorrowland Music aims to work with the best producers and writers in electronic music, leveraging its vast ecosystem to help talent create and share music worldwide. BMG’s extensive network and shared vision make this collaboration a natural fit that has already seen successful results such as Tomorrowland Music’s first Lab of Tomorrow writing camp in Belgium.
Erroll Antonie, BMG Senior Director of A&R: “Our first Lab of Tomorrow songwriting camp brought together 32 artists and songwriters in three studios, resulting in amazingly creative collaborations and unforgettable moments. Goodboys and Blazey performed a song they wrote during the camp on the Tomorrowland main stage; Henri PFR, Repiet and Julia Kleijn, performed a song they wrote and recorded in just two days at The Gathering, Tomorrowland’s campsite. Tomorrowland Music and BMG have the capability to bring the most inspiring people together at exactly the right time.”
