Seeing artists live is plenty of fun, but it can come at a cost. The biggest festivals and tours feature booming volumes to ensure everyone in the audience can hear, but without proper ear protection from concert earplugs, you risk permanently damaging your hearing. The World Health Organization even predicts that more than 1 billion young adults are at risk of permanent hearing loss caused by unsafe listening practices — and it’s easily avoidable.

Loop is encouraging you to live your life “full volume” just minus the hearing loss. In celebration of Tomorrowland’s 20th anniversary, Loop has partnered with Tomorrowland to help encourage music lovers of all genres to practice safe listening with an exclusive collaboration featuring limited-edition earplugs inspired by the music festival.

The Experience 2 Tomorrowland earplugs come in two shades: purple and black to choose from based on your style preferences. Both are priced at $40, but come with luxurious features that make the earplugs a worthy investment.
Keep reading to learn more and shop the exclusive pairs below.
Experience 2 Tomorrowland (Purple)
These purple Tomorrowland Loops come with a luminous ring inspired by the official shades of the music festival. In addition to soft ear tips for long time wear, you’ll notice the outer ring is inscribed with the festival’s motto: live, love, unite.
Experience 2 Tomorrowland (Black)
For a more edgy look, these black and gold Tomorrowland Loops come with a sleek case featuring the music festival’s logo as well as ear tips sized from XS-L for your to find your perfect fit. Once they’re placed inside your ears, the design aims to stay in place no matter if you’re dance or head banging to your favorite music.
Billboard had the opportunity to test out the Tomorrowland earplugs for ourselves and can attest that these are unlike your traditional foam earplugs. The most notable feature (besides how fashion-forward they look) is the comfort. Every pair comes with four sizes of soft ear tips to choose from — once you have yours picked, you just slide them into your ears and forget that they’re even there.
They’re also a more sustainable choice as one pair can last you a lifetime — no need to constantly buy more. And the case is so sleek and easy to carry, making them a travel necessity that’ll be at the top of your festival gear packing list.
You don’t have to worry about sounds being muffled, either; the earplugs were built with sound filtering technology that filters noise by 17 dB (SNR). You can barely tell they’re in your ears they’re that good, especially when we used them, the music sounded just as clear — and with the added bonus of ear protection. You can also still talk to your friends with the Loops in, you’ll just have to speak at a higher volume.
Loop also has a range of accessories and we had the pleasure of trying out the Loop Link with the earplugs.
Loop Link
Consider the Link a handy tool for keeping your earplugs within reach. It comes with a comfortable rope-like design and magnetic closure that’ll prevent the accessory from slipping off your neck. On the ends you’ll find rubber loops that can attach to your earbuds allowing you to seamlessly take them in and out without a hitch.
Co-founder Maarten Bodewes considers this partnership a dream come true as he and his co-founder Dimitri O have been attending Tomorrowland for years. Part of the reason the two even created the protective ear pieces was from experiencing hearing damage themselves and wanting to create something that “looked cool” yet would be beneficial for your hearing health. To help appeal to more younger crowds, Bodewes finds Loop to empower anyone to “go front row” without risking their ears. He even compares the rise in fashion-forward protectiveness with sunglasses.
“I think today, if the sun is out, it’s bright out, people really don’t think about [wearing sunglasses],” Bodewes says in an interview with Billboard. “They put on their sunglasses and you’ve got them in all kinds of styles and colors, and it’s part of your outfit or your lifestyle. I think we’re seeing that same change in ear protection; where if it’s loud, you put your earplugs in — whether it’s at a concert, a loud restaurant, in a noisy city like New York or when you sleep and you maybe lay next to your snoring partner.”

Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand has tapped into ’80s, ’90s and millennial-era nostalgia, teaming with buzzy artists, athletes and actors for its campaigns in addition to collaborations with the WNBA, NBA and Team USA.
But it’s not just star power. Social media can make or break a brand, and sites like TikTok and Instagram have been good to SKIMS. The brand is known for its viral dresses, bodysuits, tank tops, leggings, bras and T-shirts ranging from sizes XXS-4X.
As Kim Kardashian explained in an interview last year, SKIMS was created out of personal necessity. “It started off with simply finding shapewear that was a skin tone that would match my color. I used to take my shapewear and dye it with tea bags and coffee in the bathtub.”
Founded in 2019, Kardashian’s size-inclusive brand has expanded from slinky shapewear and underwear into loungewear, lingerie and even menswear. “The expansion into the menswear space is a major milestone for the brand, and a testament to SKIMS’ commitment to providing solutions for everybody,” the reality star said in a 2023 press release announcing the menswear line, which Usher modeled earlier this year.
What’s next for SKIMS? The brand unveiled a Team USA collection ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics and will unveil its Summer Uniform Collection, on Wednesday, July 24, at noon ET.
In the meantime, see below for a roundup of 10 music stars who have stripped down for SKIMS.

Usher’s SKIMS campaign was released in February. “The idea started with the photo that is my album [cover], where I have the peach in my hand. We shot the reverse of that photo, which was the first shot that was released, and therefore, after, as I do support Kim, supporting SKIMS was the next step,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “It really was in conjunction with the album.”

Cardi B collaborated with SKIMS in 2023. “The SKIMS team approached me about it, and I just thought it was funny because of all the money I’ve spent on SKIMS…I love SKIMS a lot,” the Bronx rapper said.

Jhené Aiko debuted in SKIMS’ Cotton Collection campaign this past June. Her favorite piece from the collection? The Cotton Rib Tank and Cotton Jersey Boy Short made her feel “the most comfy,” the singer told Nylon. “I feel my best when I’m wearing clothes that feel comfortable. T-shirts are a big staple in my day-to-day wardrobe, and I love that with SKIMS I can feel sexy while still staying comfortable.”

Lana Del Rey starred in SKIMS Valentine’s Day Campaign released in February. “It started as kind of a niche brand, and I feel like it’s grown into a thing where now my sister and my best friend, Margaret, are wearing it. All of a sudden you’re like, ‘Oh, you’re wearing SKIMS too,’ and you show up in the same outfit as you’re getting a coffee. It’s really kind of sweet,” Del Rey told Vogue.

Rosalía starred in SKIMS’ first-ever bilingual campaign. “I love SKIMS,” she said of the brand. “They are so comfy and make me feel very sexy at the same time. I’m so excited that I finally got the chance to collaborate, especially in their Cotton Collection which is my fave.”

Snoop Dogg and his family posed for SKIMS’ 2022 holiday campaign. “I feel so blessed that three generations of my family were able to come together for the SKIMS holiday campaign! It’s the first time we’ve been featured in a campaign all together and we all loved the super soft, comfy outfits,” Snoop said at the time.

Ice Spice appeared in a 2023 SKIMS campaign along with PinkPantheress, Raye and Nessa Barrett. “SKIMS just gets it and makes me feel extra snatched,” said Ice Spice. “I’m happy to be a part of the latest campaign.”

SZA struck a pose for SKIMS’ Fit Everybody campaign released in March 2023. “I’m excited to be in SKIMS’ latest Fits Everybody underwear campaign and to align myself with a brand that strives to make women feel both comfortable and sexy.”

Nelly Furtado made her SKIMS debut last year. “Styling all of my SKIMS looks was so fun, and my favorite piece was the SKIMS Sculpting Mid Thigh Bodsuit,” she said at the time. “The fabric is amazing and feels so good and secure on my body. It makes me feel excited about getting dressed, and I love working it into my wardrobe for both work and play.”

Sabrina Carpenter’s SKIMS’ campaign featured pieces from the Stretch Lace and Fit Everybody collection. “I loved the femininity of the whole creative. I feel very excited SKIMS chose me to be the face of this campaign as I’ve always been a fan of the brand,” Carpenter said in a statement earlier this year.
