"I’ve always had a special relationship with Tomorrowland," Charlotte tells Mixmag. "I’ve been playing at their festival since 2011 and I feel like we’ve seen each other grow throughout the years."

She also nods to the hosting of two stages by her imprint, KNTXT, which hosts names such as Indira Paganotto, Alignment and Charlotte herself.

"I’m very proud to announce that this year, next to hosting two KNTXT Stages, I’ll be closing the Main Stage on Saturday 30th July," she adds. "As the first techno act (and woman) to do this ever, this is something huge. Thank you for your trust. I’ll see you there!"
