SARA LANDRY TO MAKE HISTORY AS FIRST HARD TECHNO ARTIST ON TOMORROWLAND MAINSTAGE

A sonic alchemist transforming hard techno sounds into transcendent experiences, Sara Landry is an explosive force captivating global obsession and overhauling the scene through her deliberate, driving and witchy lens. 

Harnessing a distinct brand of artistry that is unapologetically her own, the self-taught DJ, producer and record label head has cemented herself as one of the most in-demand names in music at nothing short of breakneck speed. The phenomenon’s visceral sound and unbridled authenticity have earned her a cult-like following,  amassing over 1 Million monthly listeners on Spotify and selling out some of the world’s most prestigious stages with unprecedented fervor)

Performing Tomorrowland Mainstage - previously dominated by bigroom and mainstream electronic music -  signals the next boundary breaking feat for the dynamite artist. On July 27 at 16:15, the hard tecno phenomenon will etch her name in history; setting new precedents, pushing the sound on an international scale and leaving an indelible mark on the industry as a whole. 

Converging the underground and the avant garde, the phenomenon’s high-octane auditory expression is one of unrelenting duality, deeply rooted innovation and intention. Hailed as the “High Priestess of Hard Techno”, each of Landry’s thunderous productions reveal ceremonial spaces amongst the highest of frequencies as she balances rebellious experimentation with ancient power. This masterful interplay of chaos and solace guides listeners on enthralling odysseys that are inherently ritualistic, opening a portal for loyal fans and new audiences alike to surrender themselves to her recesses.

In 2023, the multi-hyphenate showcased her impressive talent during her debut Boiler Room set - which went VIRAL, amassing over 6 Million views - and remains the 3rd highest streamed set (after Fred Again.. and Chase & Status).  One of hard techno’s highest ticket sellers, Landry is on a meteoric trajectory blazing forward with unstoppable momentum. With a steady pulse of new music releases, a debut album on the horizon and surprises that promise to captivate her fans and attract millions more, 2024 is poised to be one of Landry’s most massive years yet.
