Brazilian superstar DJ and producer Alok once again pushed boundaries at Tomorrowland Brasil with a groundbreaking performance featuring over 1,000 drones soaring above the festival’s iconic Mainstage. A teaser video released in late September on Tomorrowland’s official channels, in collaboration with the artist, had already hinted at what would become one of the most ambitious shows in the festival’s history.
Alok’s relationship with Tomorrowland runs deep. As the festival’s official ambassador in Brazil, he has consistently delivered performances that blend cutting-edge technology with emotional storytelling. Last year, he amazed the audience with a stunning aerial show featuring 600 drones above Parque Maeda, synchronized with fireworks, lasers, and lights. Co-produced with Tomorrowland, the show became a landmark moment in electronic music and was voted “Best Performance of 2024” at the Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMAs).
This time, Alok broke the Latin American record for the largest use of drones in a live music performance, with more than 1,000 choreographed drones that took his October 12 set to new heights. The show was the result of a close collaboration between Alok’s creative team and Tomorrowland’s production, delivering a multisensory experience that redefined what’s possible in live entertainment.
“Tomorrowland is more than fireworks, stages, and shows,” Alok said during his most recent performance at Tomorrowland Belgium. “It’s the energy and the vibration we carry with us, no matter where we are. It’s about rejecting the idea of the impossible.”
Alok’s presence at Tomorrowland has become a symbol of cultural representation. He has brought Brazil to the forefront of the global electronic scene, proving that music can be a powerful bridge between cultures, languages, and dreams.
With this historic performance, Alok did more than play a set. He wrote a new chapter in the story of electronic music. His partnership with Tomorrowland continues to inspire and innovate, showing how art and technology can come together to create unforgettable moments.

Featuring high-profile collaborations with Agents Of Time, B Jones, and SOLANCE
As anticipation builds for the opening day of Tomorrowland Belgium 2025, global dance music icon ALOK is raising the stakes even higher with the release of his brand-new three-track project ‘ALOK x Tomorrowland 2025 EP’, released on Tomorrowland Music today. Featuring high-profile collaborations with Agents Of Time, B Jones, and SOLANCE, the EP showcases a cross-section of cutting-edge talent from across the global electronic music scene. Landing on the same day that ALOK returns to Tomorrowland, this EP captures the energy, scale, and sonic evolution of one of the world’s most in-demand DJs and producers.
ALOK has joined forces with Italian duo Agents Of Time on ‘Fever’, a hypnotic, pulse-pounding track that blurs the line between underground cool and mainstage euphoria. This compact yet impactful release is a masterclass in tension and release, designed for both festival peaks and after-hours sessions. Just when the listener is locked into the groove, the track delivers a powerful drop that fuses melodic techno with infectious house energy.
ALOK & B Jones – Left To Right
ALOK has teamed up with Spanish DJ sensation B Jones to drop a festival-ready heater ‘Left To Right’, an electrifying blend of bass-heavy house grooves and pop-savvy charisma destined to move dance floors worldwide. From its opening seconds, ‘Left To Right’ sets a no-nonsense tone, while the vocal hook – catchy, commanding, and playfully minimal – immediately locks listeners in.
ALOK: “B Jones brings an infectious energy, and that’s exactly the vibe we captured in this track, launching alongside my summer tour across Europe. I hope people connect with this vibe and dance to it on dance floors around the world.”
B Jones: “Working with ALOK has been a magical experience. His energy is electrifying, his musical vision is unique, and there’s something deeply human about the way he connects — both with his audience and with the artists around him. ALOK isn’t just an extraordinary talent, he’s also one of the most generous people I’ve had the chance to work with. He’s always ready to lift others up, to collaborate, to create space for new voices. This song was born from that generosity, from that real, honest connection. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and for the light he allowed me to shine beside him.”
ALOK & SOLANCE – Terminator
ALOK has teamed up with mysterious techno duo SOLANCE for ‘Terminator’, a dystopian, club-ready banger that fuses cinematic tension with peak-hour energy. Channeling the raw force of sci-fi inspiration and underground bass, this track is built to dominate both warehouse speakers and festival stages.

Brazilian superstar and #4 DJ in the world Alok, known for colossal collaborations with John Legend, Jason Derulo, Tove Lo, and Ellie Goulding, has joined forces with multi-platinum singer/songwriter James Arthur to release their new dance single, “Work With My Love.” The disco-inspired house track is guaranteed to get feet moving, hips swaying, and heads rocking.
Music fans around the world may feel some nostalgia from the sample used in “Work With My Love;” recognizing it from having also been used in The Shapeshifters’ 2004 hit “Lola’s Theme,” which topped the UK singles charts and was nominated for "Best British Single" at the 2005 Brit Awards. The muffled disco horn sample crescendos into James’s silky, soulful voice, as he croons about an impossible love. Alok’s masterfully constructed disco and house sounds keeps the track modern and fresh while the retro brass motif lays a consistent foundation in the background that ties all the sounds together. The high hats give it an uplifted, light quality, and energized feel, while low synth notes keep the beat grounded and groovy. As James repeatedly asks “Can you work with my love,” he invites us to compromise and meet halfway on the dance floor of life.
