The Odes of Orbyz offers the complete origin story of the brand-new festival theme
Friday, 23 May 2025 - Tomorrowland is releasing the complete origin story of its brand-new 2025 festival theme with a third fantasy adventure novel. Reading The Odes of Orbyz will offer an opportunity to nurture a deeper festival experience for Tomorrowland Belgium 2025. The book is now available via store.tomorrowland.com, with even more special features than last year’s festival novel.
Leading up to the summer of 2025, the People of Tomorrow can discover the fantasy origin story of the new theme ORBYZ before being immersed into the narrative spirit at the festival grounds. Alongside a trailer and legendary Mainstage, the origin story of ORBYZ will be shared in the fantasy adventure novel The Odes of Orbyz. In this book, the roots of the theme ORBYZ are planted, cultivated and grown.
Attendees will have the chance to recognise elements and imagery from the book at the festival, creating a unique and unparalleled opportunity for deeper connection. However, fantasy fans around the world will also get the prospect to delve into the rich storytelling world of Tomorrowland and explore the diverse and magical tale within the book, regardless of their physical attendance at the festival.
The story in The Odes of Orbyz is set in the subterranean city of Nymbuz, a glacial realm of snow and ice. It marks the third Tomorrowland world available for exploration by the People of Tomorrow in book form, following last year’s bestseller book The Spirit of Life. Readers of The Odes of Orbyz will discover a story of courage and friendship within the enchanting Tomorrowland universe:
"In the magnificent subterranean ice city of Nymbuz, a sequence of disappeared citizens has the community in a state of unease. For Tybla, a warrior turned Adept of the Order of the Mane, the disappearances hit close to home, as most of those missing are from her neighbourhood.
When a massive explosion in the mines sends shock waves through the very place she’s sworn to protect, Tybla is determined to investigate. Was it their ancient rivals, the surface-dwelling Fallarine, or something lurking in the Deep-Dark of their homeland?
Amidst the chaos, a chance encounter with a nomad from the Surface challenges everything she thinks she knows. But will that be enough to save their world?"
The third festival book is a 300+ page limited-edition hardback featuring festival artwork, an illustrated glossary, and two beautiful maps of the realm of ORBYZ. Additionally, the sprayed edges make this book a truly bespoke collector’s item.
The Odes of Orbyz offers a sneak peek into the Tomorrowland fictional universe. The Tomorrowland stories deliver inspiring tales set in the new magical worlds for adult readers to enjoy.
