Up on the hill next to the CAGE, the One World Radio studio has become a permanent fixture during these weekends at the Holy Grounds. Since 2019, it’s been Tomorrowland’s voice to the world, with live sets, artist interviews, breaking news, and spontaneous fan encounters all wrapped into one non-stop broadcast. And if you’re a first-time visitor, don’t expect a sterile glass box.

This is a studio with plenty of character. The energy is palpable, the door is always open, and if you time it right, you might just find yourself face to face with the voices behind the mic: Adam K, Camille Pollie, Ben Malone, and Justin Wilkes.

We dropped by to spend some time inside the booth, hang out with the team, and chat with Adam about remix drama, a bit of radio mischief, and the power of staying connected – especially when the unexpected happens.

It’s early evening and the sun is still high in the sky, but inside the One World Radio studio, the lights are pulsing to a different rhythm. As we step in, Adam K is queuing tracks from eight different stages, speaking into his mic mid-fader shift, and waving to a group of curious People of Tomorrow who’ve just walked in. “This place is always buzzing,” he smiles between takes. “It’s part radio, part open house, part madness – but we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

And sometimes, that chaos leads to magic.

“Kevin de Vries and Cassian were playing back-to-back on the MainStage Area last week, and before they hit the decks, we spoke to them. They’ve got this remix of ‘Payback’ – the track from Steve Angello and Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman – but it hadn’t been cleared yet,” Adam explains.

“So I asked Cassian to record a little video message, something I could show Steve when he came in for his interview later that week – just to show him how awesome it the remix was.” It turned out Steve couldn’t make it to the studio due to a scheduling conflict.

“But someone in the studio audience filmed the whole thing and posted it online, tagged everyone… and Steve replied. He just commented: Let’s make it happen.” Adam laughs. “And now, it’s signed. Not released yet, but signed. That’s what makes this place special!”

Adam pauses, looking toward the open door, where new fans trickle in. “This is why I say radio makes contact. It’s not just playing music, it’s about what happens around that.” That connectivity is what makes One World Radio tick, especially when things don’t go to plan.

“During COVID, we were live every single week. That connection with the People of Tomorrow really mattered,” Adam says. “And the same thing applied last week with the MainStage Area situation. Everyone wanted to know what was going on. We were the ones they turned to.”

Just so, after six years and counting, One World Radio has become part of the festival’s DNA. The atmosphere, the soundtrack, the stories – the whole lot. As we wrap up our visit, One World Radio host Camille Pollie jumps on the mic, laughing about her early-morning run around the Holy Grounds. “You guys were surprisingly fresh!” she teases. Kudos to any of you from DreamVille attending!
