Tomorrowland's doing DJ bootcamps for kids to breed a generation of beat-matching babies

Who needs Lego when you've got Serato?

Tomorrowland is offering a series of 'DJ Bootcamps', allowing kids to trade in their toys for turntables.

The legandary electronic dance music festival brand has announced the creation of Tomorrowland Academy, where they will be running 'Kids Camps' for kids aged 8 to 17 to get amongst a week of electronic music coaching.

During the Bootcamp, the junior DJs will learn to beat-match, EQ, loop, and filter, along with several other key skills.

But never fear, the big kids aren't missing out. Tomorrowland is also offering a week-long camp for those 'always wanted to but never got around to it' adults.

According to the festival's press release, all participants will receive 'Full Madness Access to Tomorrowland 2022', plus an exclusive backstage tour and the chance to perform live on one of the official Tomorrowland stages before the festival begins.

How sick would that be?!

Tomorrowland hopes that the academy will equip aspiring artists with the knowledge of how to produce, release, and perform electronic music.

The bootcamps will take place during the weeks in-between Tomorrowland's two festival weekends in 2022 (July 18-21 and July 25-28).

So just a quick trip to Belgium, and we're ON!
