⭐️ 20 Years of Modemux, 20 Years of serving artists and events, 20 years of working for amazingly talented people, people with a clear vision and relentless colleagues who always go the extra mile to get the job done.

✍️ It all started with the Boy Scouts…

Throwback to 2004: Our founder - Bjorn Ielegems - had always been in the Boy Scouts in Niel, situated 3 kilometers away from De Schorre, Boom (The Holy Grounds). He was in the Boy Scouts with one of the co-organizers of ‘Antwerp is Burning Outdoor’ who asked him how he would feel about working as stage manager at the Metro Techno stage at Antwerp is Burning Outdoor. On the line-up: Techno legends like Gayle San, Ken Ishii, and Marco Bailey. Being a complete nerd back then: Little did Bjorn know who these artists were. Without ever having been backstage at a festival or knowing what exactly a stage manager does, Bjorn said ‘yes’ and that’s where this story starts.
In 2005 this organization transforms into ID&T Belgium, they bring Sensation to Belgium and most importantly: They put together the very first edition of Tomorrowland.
And the rest is history. (pun intended)

🌎 In the years that followed this little hobby got a bit out of control and we started taking care of artists and stage management at more and more events and festivals. Over the years we got the chance to start tour managing artists, taking us full time on the road for over 3 years traveling the world. From Belgium to all over Europe, from New Zealand to Brazil and from the USA to Saudi Arabia to Singapore. As a little kid Bjorn always wanted to see the world and this job made us do it.

🙏 A huge thank you to all festival promotors, event promotors, concert promotors, artists, agents, bookers, … who have supported us and trusted us the past 20 years. We take big pride and at the same time are very grateful that almost all our customers stay with us as soon as we start working together.
There are too many individuals who have played a significant role in writing our story to mention each and every one of you.
To end with, time to put all our crew members and colleagues in the spotlight who usually hide in the dark of the backstage: This business is built on people who do insane hours, who sacrifice a lot and who take pride in doing what they do. We salute each and every one you!

🚀 We are ready for the next 20 years of taking care of artists and stage management, bring it on!

Proud partner of RAMPAGE for many many years.

I lost my heart at Rampage Open Air, and I also lost my voice and some of my mind. My heart is still there but luckily the rest is back so time to recap a bit… First of all: this was the best crowd any festival could wish for: hyped, friendly, helpful, positive-minded, energetic, curious, broad-minded..., it was an incredible feeling meeting so many of you, seeing everyone have so much fun and hearing all the feedback. It was truly heartwarming!!! Second of all: big up the team!!!! I was very proud to see what they had accomplished. Most of you (including myself) have no idea how much time, effort and experience is needed to make sure everything connects just right and make everything work the way it did. Salute and congrats: first and foremost, my partner Kristof Darcon, who is the head of overall production, staff, licenses and security; the man has been in this business for 30+ years and it shows, this was a masterpiece in my humble opinion. Tom Stoop is his righthand man and he smashed it; it was crazy to see him at work on Mondaymorning while all smiles! Dries Vleminckx and his team worked their ass off to get everything on-site built up and I couldn’t be more grateful for the work they put in, not forgetting Rudy Vorstenbosch who made the plans and helped connect the dots. Backstage we couldn’t have done it without the mastermind that is Quentin Van Damme, and both Bjorn Ielegems and Marijn Van Sasse Van Ijsselt who made sure the shows all worked out the way they did. My guy Sjoerd who has made enormous strides, trooper Ivana who juggled 5 jobs all weekend, Jeroen, Lena, Seth and the rest of the videoteam, David, Tom and all the photographers, Ash, Daan and the other mediastaff, Victor, Michaela, Amine, Ward, Maite, Andy and everyone else of the promoteams, I love you guys, Peter bossing the press/pr, the drivers of the artist shuttles, the security, barstaff, parking surpervisors, roadstaff, cleaners, incredible work, all of them…

And of course… all the artists, so many of them gave it all they got to make their show the best of the year, showing us how highly they rate our festival, how much it means to them to be able to play there… fans have become artists have become friends… so many full circle moments backstage, so many highlights on stage!! From a superstar like Subtronics designing an entirely new set just for us, to seeing crowds gather to show love to new acts like In The Lab, Invicta, Bare Up, Natty Lou..., watching the backstage empty out to go see Hamdi, all the Belgian guys being more succesful every year… I could go on forever! My own highlights include being surprised on stage by my kids and having Sena on stage for Can’t Keep Me Down (finally!), SweetTooth riddim classics at Silent Disco and the fact he bought merch just to make a custom jacket, dancing to AC13 and Justin Hawkes’ sets, going b2b with Modestep and Dirtyphonics, seeing someone having my autograph tattooed on his leg (🤯), having my US team over, meeting tons of people I had only spoken on email before…

I have pages and pages of notes on what can be improved, it’s safe to say we’re going to put on an even better festival next year and I can’t wait to show you all!!

But first, we hit ADE with Subtronics, Hedex, Gentlemens Club, Freaks & Geeks, Sota, Basstripper, Level Up… who all smashed it last weekend - you’re crazy if you don’t have your tickets yet, after seeing what they all did at Open Air 😉

A few more adventures abroad with France, Bristol and Heidelberg and then it’s the 15th anniversary with 2 nights at Sportpaleis where we’ll be premiering something that has NEVER been done in bass music before and we’re sure is going to blow everyone’s minds!!!

See you soon, Soldiers. Salute!
