Tomorrowland's Crystal Garden stage will receive a complete redesign for the 2026 edition of the Belgian festival, according to a host on One World Radio during Tuesday's broadcast. The announcement came during a segment featuring a John Summit track, when the host mentioned attendees would be able to see Summit perform at the "all-new Crystal Garden stage" this summer.

A Floating Stage Since 2017

The Crystal Garden stage has remained largely unchanged since 2017, when it was originally called the Garden of Madness. The stage is built on floating barges on a lake and features water jets illuminated by colorful lights. The design blends natural elements like sunlight and water with lasers and lighting effects. In its early years, the stage featured real flowers overhead; in later iterations, scented mist replaced the live flowers to maintain the floral atmosphere.

This Year's Crystal Garden Lineup

The stage will host John Summit's Experts Only takeover this summer, along with performances by Kettama b2b Michael Bibi, Steve Angello, Hugel, and Kevin de Vries b2b Meduza. The festival is also debuting a new stage called Celestia by KuCoin, which replaces the Rise stage.

Tomorrowland Belgium 2026 begins one month from today. No details about the Crystal Garden redesign have been released.
