“To perform here in Brussels was a full-circle moment and a very special evening,” Tiësto wrote. “Belgium’s music scene has had a huge impact on my life and career. As a kid, I used to go out to Belgium clubs and learned all about great dance music. I’ve had many life-changing experiences at Cherrymoon, Boccaccio, Cafe D’anvers and La Rocca.”
The set itself made good on that history. Early on came his own ‘Lethal Industry’ and ‘Flight 643’, dropped alongside a Nalin & Kane ‘Open Your Eyes’ Tiësto edit and an Age Of Love / Jam & Spoon ‘Stella’ / Moby ‘Go’ mashup that reached straight back into the Belgian new-beat lineage that shaped him. From there he pushed through ‘Forever Today’, a Ferry Tayle & Tonks pres. Mirage cut, and his own ‘Obsession’ with Junkie XL reworked as a Mirage remix.
The middle stretch leaned into modern crossover. Cassö, RAYE & D-Block Europe’s ‘Prada’ (Tiësto Remix) landed alongside a KETTAMA ‘Comes and Goes’ rework, Flume’s ‘Rushing Back’ and a ‘Kernkraft 400’ flip of Zombie Nation. He then pulled the room back into deep trance territory with Delerium ft. Sarah McLachlan’s ‘Silence’ in his ‘In Search Of Sunrise 2025’ remix guise, a M.I.K.E. pres. Push ‘Strange World’ rework, and a Marcel Woods ‘Advanced’ 2026 reboot.
Then came the ending. ‘Adagio For Strings’ hit for the room’s biggest single moment, Tiësto’s own defining anthem sitting alongside a Ratty ‘Sunrise (Here I Am)’ remix, before that Cherry Moon Trax closer sealed everything he had spent the night saying. It was the exact kind of arc a homecoming demands.
