Tomorrowland 2015 Announces Sven Väth-Led Cocoon, Vinyl-Only Stage

Väth is the name we have thus far as to who else will be joining, but as indicated by a tweet from the festival, the veteran German techno DJ will be surrounded by his "musical family."

Sven Väth turned 50 in 2014 and still shows no signs of slowing down as a world-touring DJ. He continued his Cocoon residency in Ibiza, selling out the season and playing marathon sets at clubs all over the world, as noted by Beatport.

The lineup rollout is a conscious effort to try and differentiate itself as different from other festivals that all generally have similar lineups. They will all have the same four or five headliners like Tiësto, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren and Skrillex, but it is the other aspects of the festival that makes it different.

Tomorrowland will inevitably have those guys playing their main stage, but it looks to curate something unique with its experience beyond the main stage. The next move will be interesting to see if the ID&T festival will try and get back to the mainstream or continue down the road of less commercial selections.
