Tomorrowland Belgium Festival 2026

Background & History

Tomorrowland, founded in 2005 by brothers Manu and Michiel Beers, began as a one-day electronic dance music (EDM) festival at De Schorre Provincial Recreational Park in Boom, Belgium, attracting 9,000 attendees with early headliners like Push (M.I.K.E.), Armin van Buuren, and Coone. From these humble beginnings, it has grown into a global cultural phenomenon, now hosting over 400,000 “People of Tomorrow” from 200+ countries across two weekends annually. Its rise is driven by unparalleled production, featuring immersive storytelling through unique annual themes—2025’s “Orbyz” glacial fantasy being a standout—and intricate stage designs that blend art, technology, and music. The festival’s resilience was evident in 2025 when organizers rebuilt the Mainstage in just days after a fire, ensuring an uninterrupted experience.

Key milestones include the launch of Global Journey Packages in 2012, enabling seamless international attendance, and One World Radio in 2019, a 24/7 platform broadcasting festival sets and exclusive content globally. The Tomorrowland Foundation supports music education initiatives worldwide, reflecting its social impact. Iconic moments, such as the 2011 “Book of Wisdom” Mainstage, Tiësto’s legendary performances, and the introduction of stages like Freedom and The Rave Cave, have solidified its legacy. Traditions like exchanging colorful friendship bracelets and “The Gathering” pre-festival party at DreamVille foster a sense of global unity, making Tomorrowland the world’s premier EDM festival.
