Tomorrowland has released the official aftermovie for this year’s festival. After the main stage burned down days before opening and a replacement was built seemingly overnight in front of its burned up corpse, the festival opened on time and put on a hell of a show for the 400,000+ attendees.
The festival will be held in Thailand next year for the first time.

Pub Choir is a pretty neat Australian music project where people go and learn to sing popular songs in three-part harmony as part of a large crowd.

The final product, featuring 102,974 singers, has finally been released.
