John Summit took over the Tomorrowland 2026 Mainstage on Sunday during Weekend 1, closing his Boom moment with a full Experts Only universe set that blended his signature originals, mashups, and some serious throwback remixes.
The Chicago native opened with the intro edit of the Marshll remix of ‘SHADOWS’ with LAVINIA, layered under the acappella of his hit ‘LIGHTS GO OUT’ before dropping the original ‘SHADOWS’. BYOR & Mentum’s ‘I Can Dance’ and his own mashup of ‘Shiver’ with HAYLA vs. ‘Reload’ kept the early energy on ten.
From there, John rolled through his current catalogue at full pace. He played ‘SHADES OF BLUE’ with Devault ft. Julia Church, a mashup of his ‘Human’ with Echoes and KI/KI’s ‘What’s A Girl To Do In ’25’, followed by the emotional ‘crystallized’ with Inéz. His mashup of ‘DON’T BELIEVE IT’ vs. AFROJACK & Eva Simons’s ‘Take Over Control’ gave the middle a serious throwback moment, before the massive Chainsmokers collab ‘ALL THE TIME’ with Ilsey hit the Mainstage.
Both an ID remix and the MAYETRIX flip of ‘WITH ME’ with Julia Wolf got airings before the original of ‘LIGHTS GO OUT’ landed in full. HILLS’s ‘Lift Me Up’ teed up the moment fans had been waiting for: his brand-new John Summit remix of Avicii’s ‘Seek Bromance’ (originally released under his Tim Berg alias), which John recently debuted during his Sweden show.
The closing stretch was a marathon of edits and remixes. A fresh ID rolled into his and Silver Panda’s remix of The Temper Trap’s ‘Sweet Disposition’, followed by the John Summit & Wooli edit of Rihanna’s ‘Where Have You Been’. ‘What A Life’ with GUZ ft. Stevie Appleton, his own remix of Delerium ft. Sarah McLachlan’s ‘Silence’ (out on Tomorrowland Music), and the era-defining ‘Where You Are’ with HAYLA stacked up as the peak.
The ending went pure Summit: his remix of Britney Spears’s ‘I Wanna Go’, the Eli Brown bootleg of ANOTR’s ‘Talk To You’, a mashup of his own ‘Go Back’ with Eric Prydz’s iconic ‘Pjanoo’, and the D&B VIP of ‘Go Back’ with Sub Focus & Julia Church to close it out. Watch the full set below.
