Tomorrowland is not a spontaneous trip. Unlike other festivals, everything sells out pretty quickly here: tickets, accommodation, transportation, and even event activities.
You’re not only planning an event, but you’re also organizing an international trip during very specific dates.
WHEN TO GO AND HOW TO GUARANTEE A SPOT
Tomorrowland is in July for two consecutive weekends in Boom, Belgium.
Key points:
- Tickets are usually sold out in minutes
- Nearby accommodation is filled out quickly
- Flights get more expensive as the date gets closer
👉 Recommendation:
Decide your dates before the tickets are released, and have a plan B (second weekend or nearby cities).
WHERE TO STAY (AND WHAT’S THE BEST OPTION)
This is where most people make mistakes
You have three main options:
1. DreamVille (official camping)
- 100% immersive experience
- Closer to the festival
- Less comfort
👉 Ideal if you want to experience the festival to the fullest.
2. Brussels (the most balanced option)
- More accommodation options
- Better transportation
- Increased comfort
👉 Ideal if you want a balance of festival + rest.
3. Other cities (Antwerp, Ghent)
- Alternatives if Brussels is full
- Good connections
- Fewer crowds
👉 Ideal if you want to extend your trip.
HOW TO MOVE (KEY TO NOT RUIN YOUR EXPERIENCE)
The festival is not in the city.
Options:
- Official shuttles
- Trains + local transportation
- Private transportation
👉 Important tip:
Book transportation with Royal Travel. Leaving the festival without a plan can mean hours of waiting. These are the benefits of being a Royal Holiday member.
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR DAYS IN THE FESTIVAL
Tomorrowland is big. Very big.
To make the most out of it:
- Check the lineup beforehand
- Identify the key stages
- Don’t try to see everything (it’s impossible)
- Leave space to discover new artists
👉 Key tip:
Choose 2-3 “unmissable” moments per day and let everything else flow.
WHAT TO BRING (AND WHAT MOST FORGET)
- Comfortable clothes + layers (the weather can change)
- Portable battery
- Identification
- Comfortable shoes (you’ll be walking a lot)
- Protection against rain
👉 Common error:
Underestimating the weather. Belgium can change within hours.
BEYOND THE FESTIVAL: EXPLORE EUROPE
One of the best things to do is not to limit your trip to only the festival.
You can integrate:
- Brussels (architecture, gastronomy)
- Amsterdam (a few hours away)
- Paris (perfect extension)
This makes your trip into something completely different.
