Due to its huge popularity, Tomorrowland is thrilled to announce that “The Great Library of Tomorrow,” the festival’s one-of-a-kind audiovisual experience for all ages, will be starting in the heart of Madrid in the fall of 2024.
We visited The Great Library of Tomorrow in Barcelona.
Since it opened to the public for the first time in Barcelona in December 2023, “The Great Library of Tomorrow” has been drawing more than 40,000 people from 56 countries around the world every month to enjoy a unique virtual reality experience and learn more about Tomorrowland’s fascinating themes. Now it’s time for a new story in Madrid, which will change the magic of Tomorrowland.
‘The Great Library of Tomorrow’ has been created and developed by Tomorrowland and XR Music Hub teams (formed by Layers of Reality and Blanco y Negro Music). Bringing ‘The Great Library of Tomorrow’ to Madrid has long been a milestone in our plans, especially considering Spain’s capital boasts a vibrant entertainment and cultural scene and ‘The Great Library of Tomorrow’ stands as one of the best immersive experiences available today. Starting the worldwide tour in Madrid marks the commencement of The Great Library’s global journey. – Jordi Sellas, Artistic Director of Layers of Reality
