Tomorrowland and Neptunus are proud to present Triton, a new iconic event structure built on pontoons on the water.
Triton will make its global debut at Tomorrowland 2026, where the 20-metre-high structure will serve as this year’s Crystal Garden Stage, one of the festival’s most distinctive venues. The striking dome structure, built on pontoons on the water, succeeds the iconic Salacia, which has defined the Crystal Garden Stage for many years.
Developed by Dutch structures specialist Neptunus, Triton makes its first public appearance at Tomorrowland. Its introduction marks the latest milestone in a partnership that has been evolving since 2013. What began as a collaboration on temporary festival infrastructure has grown into a joint innovation programme, resulting in a series of iconic structures that are now used at events around the world. Over the past thirteen years, Tomorrowland and Neptunus have worked together on a wide range of temporary structures where design, engineering and the festival experience come together. Several concepts originally created exclusively for Tomorrowland have since become part of Neptunus’ international product portfolio.
The new Crystal Garden Stage is much more than a temporary structure. Measuring 40 x 50 metres and standing 20 metres high, Triton offers a large clear span and an exceptionally high hanging load capacity, providing maximum flexibility for the integration of lighting, audio, video, décor and scenography. The structure itself becomes an integral part of the overall experience, supporting the creative vision behind the stage.
For family-owned company Neptunus, Triton represents the next generation of event structures. Its development responds to growing international demand from festivals and live events for structures that combine distinctive architecture with the technical capabilities required for increasingly large and complex productions.
Dorrie Eilers, Managing Director of Neptunus:
“Tomorrowland is much more than a client to us. For thirteen years, our partnership has challenged both organisations to think beyond existing solutions. Triton is a perfect example of that ambition. The structure combines bold design with exceptional technical performance and demonstrates how temporary architecture is becoming an increasingly important part of the overall event experience.”
The collaboration between Tomorrowland and Neptunus can be seen throughout the festival site. Alongside the new Crystal Garden Stage, a 50 x 70-metre Evolution structure, standing 17 metres high, forms the impressive Freedom Stage. Together, the two companies previously developed Poseidon, featuring an integrated waterfall, and Salacia, which served as the iconic Crystal Garden Stage for many years. In addition, Neptunus provides a wide range of hospitality, catering and other temporary facilities across the festival site. Over the years, this long-term partnership has resulted in several iconic structures originally created specifically for Tomorrowland.
With the introduction of Triton, Tomorrowland and Neptunus reaffirm their shared ambition to continue pushing the boundaries of temporary architecture and live entertainment. Triton demonstrates how demountable architecture can become an essential part of the overall festival experience.
