Tomorrowland Music Writing Camp at Alpe d’Huez during Tomorrowland Winter
During this year’s edition of Tomorrowland Winter in Alpe d’Huez, the Tomorrowland Music Writing Camp once again brought together an inspiring group of global artists, producers, and songwriters in a unique mountain setting. Among the participants were internationally acclaimed names such as Netsky, Steve Aoki, Ofenbach, alongside a diverse roster of talented writers. The camp served as a creative hub where musical ideas were born, collaborations were sparked, and future releases began to take shape. Last year’s edition proved its impact with the creation of “Track of Time” by Betical, a track that was recently released on Tomorrowland Music. With such a strong precedent, anticipation is high for what this year’s sessions will deliver. The combination of breathtaking surroundings and world-class talent continues to make the writing camp a cornerstone of Tomorrowland’s musical ecosystem.
