Tomorrowland: electronic music festival or drugs festival?

Do you really know what tomorrowland is? Tomorrowland is the largest annual electronic music festival in the world. It takes place in Belgium, more precisely in the town of Boom and has been organized since 2005.

Tomorrowland has both advantages and drawbacks. One advantage is that you got direct contact with people from other countries. This massive contact with people of different cultures and people sharing what is maybe the only thing they have in common (music of course) is amazing. Another advantage that this electronic music festival has, is that you can learn about the traditions of people from another country.

And what about the disadvantages? Last year I was in the festival and I noticed that it is very easy to buy drugs. It is unhealthy to be stoned all day, unfortunately there is a genre called trans, that most people listen to it drugged because they say it gives them more pleasure.

In conclusion, nowadays Tomorrowland is one of the best electronic music festivals in the world, but it has a dark side. The dark side is "stained" by drugs and overdose deaths.
