Tomorrowland
First-timer guide

Most attendees fly in — build your list around luggage limits, and remember Global Journey packages have their own baggage rules. Everything on site is cashless via the festival bracelet.

Getting there

The venue is De Schorre, Boom, Belgium. Fly into BRU (Brussels) and base yourself around Antwerp (30 min) or Brussels (45 min). Typical timing: two weekends, late July — confirm your edition's exact dates on the official site before booking anything nonrefundable.

Know the scale

You are joining roughly 70,000 per day, 400,000 across both weekends at an event running since 2005. That number shapes everything first-timers underestimate: entry lines, cell coverage, water station queues, and how long it takes to cross the grounds.

Make an arrival plan

Know where you will enter, where you will meet, how you will get home, and how you will keep your ticket, ID, water, and phone power accessible.

Keep the first list small

Get essentials, weather protection, and a recovery layer right before adding extra gear. A lighter, organized bag is easier to use all day.
