15 years to the day after Avicii‘s ‘Levels’ reached the public, the audience that first heard it live can now relive the moment.Tomorrowland has joined forces with Pophouse and the late DJ’s estate to release his complete 2011 Mainstage set, a storied performance that until now existed mostly in the memories of people who were raving in Belgium’s De Schorre park that summer.
Avicii took the stage on July 23, 2011 for his first appearance at Tomorrowland, the world’s preeminent EDM festival.Among the tracks he played was ‘Levels,’ which attendees heard three months before its official release on October 28 of that year.
The track’s melody has since become so familiar that it can be hummed by people who have never even attended a festival.It passed one billion streams on Spotify in 2024 and took the top spot in Tomorrowland’s ‘Top 1000,’ the fan-voted list of the most iconic anthems in the festival’s history, for a fourth time this year.
Avicii’s appearance in 2011 began a long relationship with the festival.He returned to its illustrious Mainstage every year from 2012 to 2015 prior to his tragic death by suicide in 2018, at the age of 28.
You can watch the full performance below via Tomorrowland’s official YouTube channel.The audio is also available in the festival’s app as well as the Avicii Community.
