TikTok's "New Music" Hub

The festival's co-founder claims that a third weekend and reduced artist fees still won't be enough to make up for the previous two years' losses.

BELGIAN BOOM It was originally going to be called Mysteryland when Michiel Beers and his brother Manu Beers set out to develop Belgium's first dedicated electronic music festival in 2005.

Duncan Stutterheim, their business partner and the creator of the Dutch festival brand ID&T, called Michiel Beers to inform him that he had changed his mind and wanted to keep "Mysteryland" for the Netherlands. This was after the Beers had produced thousands of brochures and posters promoting the name. Another challenge soon followed: Tisto, the event's featured headliner and the most well-known DJ in the area, abruptly withdrew in favor of a pop-rock festival approximately a half-hour away.

The festival is starting its second of a remarkable three-weekend run today (July 22), in an effort to make up some of the 25 million euros ($25.6 million) it lost from 2020–2021. Due to the lengthier festival, a record 600,000 attendees, including 10,000 more Americans than usual, are expected at Tomorrowland this year. On 16 stages, more than 800 performers will take the stage, including EDM heavyweights Martin Garrix, Marshmello, and Alok as well as techno titan Paul Kalkbrenner and deep house producer Lost Frequencies.

Since last year, the festival's final two weekends have been completely booked. This year, they sold all 200,000 tickets for a third weekend (July 14–17) at a 5 percent higher price of 114.50 euros per day or 310 euros for the entire weekend, to assist offset the high inflation in Europe. However, Beers claims that this was an exceptional occurrence. Tomorrowland is held atop the De Schorre park, and the event negotiated a ten-point plan with the cities of Boom and Rumst, which includes returning to its customary two weekends beginning in 2019.

To further his burgeoning passion in music, he began working part-time with local musicians. Bathiya, a Sri Lankan singer, gave him a chance in 2004 and he began recording rap songs till he was found by Vijay Antony.

 He worked with him on the song "Aathichudi"for the soundtrack of the film TN 07 AL 4777 (2008), in 2009, which is a remake of “Surangani” from his debut album, Tamizha. In 2005, he released a cross-cultural album in Sri Lanka, which had songs in Tamil, Sinhala, and English.

The case, according to Ed Sheeran and his writing partners, caused "immense" stress.
11 weeks after winning a copyright lawsuit in the High Court, Ed Sheeran and two collaborators on songs were given more than £900,000 in legal expenses.

Steven McCutcheon and John McDaid, who wrote Shape of You with Ed Sheeran, were charged with plagiarizing a song by Ross O'Donoghue and Sami Chokri, two grime musicians.

The three Shape of You authors should cover their own legal costs, according to Chokri and O'Donoghue.

However, a judge gave the group an interim payment of £916,200 (just over $1.1 million) on Tuesday.

Sheeran and the other claimants refuted the allegations of plagiarism, and the music artist later remarked that such "baseless" accusations "are much too common."

The 11-day trial's defendants, Chokri and O'Donoghue, claimed that the number-one artist was a "magpie" who "habitually duplicates" the work of other musicians and that a portion of Shape of You was "strikingly similar" to a passage of their 2015 song Oh Why.

"I deem it fair that the claimants' success be recognized in an order that their costs be paid by the defendants, without reduction save for that which is made as part of the process of comprehensive evaluation," Mr. Justice Zacaroli said in his most recent decision.

Chokri and O'Donoghue's argument that Sheeran and his partners should cover their own legal expenses was rejected by the judge because they had withheld papers and displayed "awkwardness and opacity."

To evaluate and determine the final amounts, a second hearing is anticipated.

John Christopher Depp II is an American actor, producer and musician. He is the recipient of multiple accolades, including a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award, in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards and two BAFTA’s.

Mr Depp, who denied abusing Ms Heard, was awarded $15 million (£12 million) in compensatory and punitive damages by the jury.
Ms. Heard, 36, was given $2 million in compensatory damages after winning one of three counterclaims against Mr. Depp, 58.
In the trial, the Hollywood stars, who divorced in 2017, gave opposing accounts of their tragic love.
The court in Fairfax, Virginia, heard tawdry details of Mr Depp and Ms Heard's tumultuous marriage and its unhappy termination over the course of six weeks.
Many Americans, according to polls, were more engaged in the legal drama than the crisis in Ukraine or a possibly historic abortion verdict anticipated from the US Supreme Court any day.

On Wednesday, The jury concluded that Ms Heard's assertions about her marriage were "false" and that she acted with "actual malice" after nearly two days of deliberation.


They also discovered that Mr Depp had defamed Ms Heard in a statement to the Daily Mail in 2020, in which his lawyer called her abuse allegations a fake.
Outside the court, yells and chants of "Johnny, Johnny, Johnny" erupted as the seven-member jury delivered their judgment.

According to his spokeswoman, Mr. Depp was unable to attend court owing to "already established job engagements." Since the jury began deliberations on Friday, the actor has been claimed to be watching from the United Kingdom, where he has performed three surprise concerts with his buddy, British musician Jeff Beck.

Mr Depp received a standing ovation after performing with Mr Beck at the Royal Albert Hall in London on the eve of the decision.

He stated in a statement on Wednesday: "The jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled."

"Truth never perishes," he added in Latin.



Most audiences recognize Johnny Depp for his bounty of kooky characters like Captain Jack Sparrow and Edward Scissorhands, however, the real man behind it all also has many masks. These 40 years of long-kept details from Depp's past and private life may finally shed some light on the inscrutable star.

Welcome Back Jack Sparrow!!!!

Grimes Stands by Lizzo: A Show of Solidarity Amid Hostile Work Environment Lawsuit Allegations

General Kamal Gunaratne is an Army officer whom we love and he is a senior Army officer in Sri Lanka. He is currently the Secretary to the Ministry of Defense. There is another aspect of him that we do not know. That is, he is a wonderful artist as well as a lyricist. Many of the songs he composed have been sung by popular artists we love. On March 28, 2022, General Kamal Gunaratne launched his official youtube channel. As far as we know an army officer has a rough heart. How can an army officer with that rough heart have such a sensitive artistic heart?

He gave a very good answer to this question

"There are several aspects to an army officer. An army officer must have a rough heart when there is a war, and a sensitive heart when there is a sensitive moment in a war.
Also, when there is no war, one can have an artistic heart according to their skills. As I said, having a sensitive heart does not mean weeping over sensitive moments in war, But when there is a war, any army officer is sensitive when he sees people who have been orphaned by the war, their children, and those who are starving. As I said before, being sensitive does not mean crying. It is sensitive to the heart, and then a human feeling arises in us, and the feeling that arises makes it possible for us to look at them humanly. "


This is how he finally put into words what he feels about the occasion

"Today is a very happy day because I have composed 20 songs so far. I have released 7 of those 20 songs and I hope to compose more songs in the future, I hope to create more songs in the meantime
When the song is brought to life, it feels like giving birth to a new child, it brings a lot of passion and self-satisfaction.
Only a lyricist can feel how much enjoyment a songwriter gets through it. I get that satisfaction. And my dear musicians, singers, brothers, and sisters who worked with me on this, all of them advised me to start my YouTube channel. I have started it today with the support of all those people. I'm so happy, this is not something I started with the hope of money, it's something I did for my satisfaction and the enjoyment of others. Heartfelt happiness. "
