As I ventured to Tomorrowland in Boom, Belgium back in 2014, I was astonished by the amount of girls asking festival attendees to vote for Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike for that year's DJ Mag Top 100 competition. Last year, the news went viral of these shady tactics, but it looks like the girls with iPads are back for another year.
DJ Magazine, also known as DJ Mag, has gained quite a bit of worldwide popularity due to their Top 100 competition where DJs compete to gain votes in the contest. While the competition doesn't hold much weight in North America, many of today's booking agents use the list to determine the year's most sought after DJs and producers.
This year, it seems that the iPad girls are back in full force at Tomorrowland, as they are trying to swing some of your votes for this year's artists.
Apparently the girls with iPads are given free entry to tomorrowland, they have to make 100 people vote a day or they lose their fest pass

+ the girls ask you to vote for 5 artists, one of the ones in the list really genuinely shocked me. But I won't share it in case it's false
