How to plan for Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland returns to De Schorre in Boom in July 2027, and the organiser's own site confirms the return without publishing the weekends. Belgium's edition normally runs two consecutive weekends in the second half of July, so treat any specific date circulating now as unconfirmed.

01 · Event details

Edition and venue

Timing: July 2027 · exact weekends not published by the organiser

Venue or host area: De Schorre recreation area in Boom, between Antwerp and Brussels, with the mainstage built into the former clay pits. The marker shows the town, not a stage or an entrance.

Access: Entry is by festival ticket, with DreamVille camping and Global Journey travel packages sold separately and typically released on their own schedules. The organiser confirms a 2027 return but had not published sale dates, prices or pre-registration terms at review.

02 · Plan the visit

Plan around the official access route

The site is reached by shuttle from Boom station and from park-and-ride sites, with Brussels and Antwerp both usable as bases; the organiser publishes travel options with the ticket release rather than a year ahead. Global Journey packages bundle travel and accommodation and are a separate product from the festival ticket. Camping at DreamVille is separately booked and fills on its own schedule.

  • Confirm the edition: use the organiser’s latest date and venue announcement, not only a customary month.
  • Confirm admission: check whether access is by purchase, ballot, qualification, application or free/public entry; do not assume a ticket includes every venue or session.
  • Confirm local logistics: check current transport, accessibility, road closures and arrival instructions with the organiser and relevant local authority.
  • Protect flexibility: compare cancellation terms before booking travel around a date or route that is not fully confirmed.

04 · Overview

What this event is

An electronic music festival in De Schorre park in Boom, Belgium, running over consecutive weekends in July with enormous stage builds and a themed main stage that is redesigned every year. The site has around sixteen stages, a camping village called DreamVille, and a programme that runs from midday into the early hours; the main stage show is the centrepiece and is built around a different story each edition.

Why it matters

Tomorrowland is the biggest electronic music festival in the world and the one that made dance music a destination-festival business: its stage design, its global spin-off events and its live-streamed sets reach audiences far beyond Belgium. Tickets sell out within minutes through a pre-registration system, and the event's production values set the standard the rest of the genre follows.

History

The first Tomorrowland was a one-day event in 2005 with a few thousand visitors, organised by two brothers who ran a local club night. It grew through the 2010s into a multi-weekend festival, expanded internationally with spin-off editions in Brazil and elsewhere, and was cancelled in 2020 and 2021. It has been held at De Schorre throughout, and the 2027 weekends had not been published at review.
