- I wish I knew these 10 things before I went to the Tomorrowland Music Festival in Belgium!
In this video I’ll share everything you need to know about Tomorrowland, including how to get tickets, the Dreamville and Global Journey Travel Package experience, what the facilities are like, what camping is like and things you can bring along to make your weekend as seamless as possible.
We went to Weekend 1 in July 2023, and it was incredible! We thought why not share about our experience and help out fellow music lovers thinking about attending the festival.
Tomorrowland is the top dance music festival in the world, spread across two weekends in July, this is the ultimate EDM festival! Located in Boom, Belgium, approximately 450'000 thousand people attend the festival making it extra tricky to get tickets to!

Got a question for us about Tomorrowland Belgium? Leave a comment and we'll get back to you!
Thanks for watching and fingers crossed you get to go this year!
Glad to hear it was clean everywhere. I was part of the recycle team on the festival and the team is just massive, it was around 400 people just for keeping the ground and the bins clean all around the festival!
Wow! Thank you SO much for all your and your teams hard work, we truly truly appreciated it. The Dreamville area was kept to a really clean standard, we were so impressed. 400 people is incredible, how awesome 👏👏👏
You are amazing, thank you so much! Been there for two years (and back in 2024), amazing place and amazing staff
Best review so far - great explanation, great cutaways, great energy too 👍🏿
Thank you so much Sir! That is really kind of you to say! Glad you enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun to make 🙌
Awesome and very useful video!! Just a tiny remark: the festival in Belgium is not just "a version" of Tomorrowland. It is the original festival, it's the home of TML. Actually there is only 1 'main' TML festival and that's the one in Belgium. All the others are (much smaller) spin-offs. (I'm already nervous to get tickets this year, as it will be the massive 20 year anniversary edition!) 🤞
It's going to be a big one this year hey! Hope you get tickets!! 🤞💃
I rewatched the start again and I can see how that didn't come across clearly that I was talking about Tomorrowland festival as the original Belgian festival, so thanks for pointing that out! I didn't want people being confused thinking I was talking about any of the new smaller location ones they've added on 😬
I managed to get dreamville green 1p package after waiting for 2 hours on the website 😂. Wanted a better package but everything was sold out
Amazing tips!!!! Thank you so much!

Great video, thank you! It’s my first time this year so needed these tips
Thanks for watching! Hope you have a brilliant time, it’s so amazing!
This was a fantastic video! I just was able to score tickets yesterday and I’m so pumped! This video was sooo helpful! Hope to see you Weekend 2 In Belgium!!!
Yessss 🙌 well done!!! Thanks so much for watching, so glad it was helpful!
Great Video, Super useful information, we managed to get global journey tickets from UK, I'm Sooo exited!
Yay! I’m so glad!!! You’ll have an incredible time. We did GJ from London, it was really easy :)
great suggestions from you. Thank you... well let´s see overthere. I am lucky I have my ticket for the first weekend.
Thanks for watching, glad it helped! That’s awesome you got a ticket, have a fab time!!
Got tickets for 2nd weekend… I‘m so excited!
Yeah you did!! Well done 🙌🙌
Thank you soooo much ! First timer here ❤
I hope this helped! So excited for you - have the BEST time!!
Another good tip that secured me a ticket - check the date when the registering for the tickets starts!! I was able to be one of the first 20 from my country to register and got into the First 20 sale ❤❤❤🎉🎉
Wasn't very financially prepared to purchase the ticket in December but still did it and it's going to be my first solo trip to such a big event 🎉
Yes that’s epic!! The first 20 is a great sale, well done getting in quick!
You’ll have a fantastic time, congrats on making it happen!
Great indeed for countries that are further away. For me (Dutch) it’s really a roulette
Thanks for your sharing! I'm going to Tomorrowland this year and have so many questions, find all the answers from your video, thanks a lot☺ That earplug is adorable, did you buy in advance at online store or it's always available at shop ?
I’m so glad!! Thanks for watching!
I bought the loop earplugs from the Loop website a couple of weeks before the festival. But they were also readily available to purchase at the festival, you just might need to line up for a while on the first day.
I just think it’s easier to have them with you already before you arrive 🙌
got my tickets in the first 20 sale for this year :D so hyped, been a fan of tml since 2013 or something
Well done!! That’s awesome. You’re going to have an amazing time!
6:54 even if you have standard full madness ticket, there is a chance to add camping. How to do: There are limited ticket. You need to appear on on thursday morning at 9:00 (since additional camping tickets are limited) at special stand at main entrance of Dreamville. Tomorrowland will never confirm it in advance and there is no guarantee, the they will do it every year.
Interesting! I haven’t heard about that before 🙌
Thanks for the good video!!✨
Do you know if I can bring an empty water bottle into the festival grounds? And where can I fill it up during the festival and in dreamville?😊
Thanks for watching!
Yes we took empty bottles and filled them up with the tap water at the hand washing stations and it was totally fine.
For Dreamville we bought large bottles of water from the supermarket and just used those for water. I assume the taps might be fine there too but we just used bottled water :)
I went ahead and purchased my global journey last Saturday cuz I knew the 20 year I wanted it to be my first TML. Watching your video helps me understand a tad more before July, But am I ready? No I am nervous but know it'll be a memorable time as you guys had.
Well done getting tickets!! That is awesome!! The 20th is going to be epic!
You know that is a totally normal feeling, I was really nervous too. It can be a bit overwhelming with the big crowds and size of it all, but just take your time to take it all in, take breaks when you need to. The weekend will go so fast and you’ll have the best memories! Have the best time 💃🏻
This was so helpful!! Thank you! I got my tickets for 2024!
Do you know for the goodie bag you talked about do you have to check in for that? Do you get it on your train?
That’s awesome!! Well done 🙌 hope you have an epic time!
For the bag, there was a little area set up at Brussels train station (so when we arrived in Belgium before the transfer to the festival) and they were giving out water and the bags, you did need to line up for them, they weren’t handed out so just keep an eye out when you arrive at your destination. I’m not sure if they do them each year but hopefully they do!
As a frequent TML visitor I see many great tips indeed for people that are going first time or had a slightly bad first time experience. But I feel that you could even be making another videos of tips and tricks, because this feels like only the top of the iceberg😉
Love that! How awesome you’ve been able to go a few times! Do you have any tips from your experiences? :)
@@the_hughesies I would say be prepared for the Voucher sale in June, you not only can buy lockers and parking there but also the 3 different restaurants can be booked which makes for incredible food experiences. For Dreamville people the voucher sale comes even more in handy as you can book a 3 day breakfast buffet which is amazing if you don’t want to bring too much food with you and want to spend your morning as easy as possible.
Also the free post cards is a nice touch were you can send letters to you friends and family all over the world for free.
There are more things to uncover then at first view. To much to put into comments😁
Yes totally agree about the restaurants and the breakfast buffet. We didn’t realise it would sell out and left it for a few weeks only to miss out. I forgot about that, great tips for sure!
@@the_hughesies if you ever go for a part 2 of this video and need some more tips let me know, I have some for both the festival itself and Dreamville😉
Thanks for the indepth information. Helped a lot. Had one question ? What are the transportation options for people having day passes ? I mean post the event in the night, what are the options for people to get to Antwerp / Brussels ?
Thanks for watching! Generally there are buses, a train a short walk away from the site and taxis. Most people catch the bus I think :)
Thank you for the video. If your already traveling and out of the country like a whole month before hand when does the Tomorrowland ticket/bracelet comes in the mail what do you do if it hasn’t come in time? Can u pick it up at the festival?
Yes! They should have a dedicated kiosk for those who didn’t get their bracelets via post. You just need to show ID I think 😊
You really can come and go from the festival as you please up until a certain time at night. I go in and out all the time but its a long walk between dreamville and mag greens.
It really is so far hey!
Thank you for all the tips🤩 one question - is there a way to charge phones? Is there access to outlets or any dedicated charging machines? Thanks again!!
There was a charging store where you could pay to charge your phone or buy a charger. We took a charging block with us that had the capacity to charge two phones for 4 nights. It was brilliant 👍
@@the_hughesies Thanks a bunch for the response, that really helps :)
Hi, thank you for such good tips. We’re going this year for the first time and wondering how does it work with parking and Dreamville walk? Is it far from parking to the camping side? Can you walk and go back just to grab something from your car let’s say? Thank 😊
Thanks for watching! The car parking is a little walk from the dreamville area, maybe 10 - 15 minutes, if that. It’s a field and you can leave dreamville any time, as many times as you want to walk to your car or go to the local shops a little further out from the festival site, just as long as you have your bracelet on to scan back in :) hope that helps!
@@the_hughesies that is super, big thanks for reply, everything clear now 🙂
For those who don't want to sleep in a tent.... the hotel package is also really worth its money.
We live in Belgium (30 km from Boom), but always take a Global Journey Hotel package.
Okay, you don't have the atmosphere of camping, but there is daily transportation to the festival.
The way back from Tomorrowland to the bus station is brutal, but once you arrive at the hotel.... A late night snack is usually provided. A long hot shower and a hugely comfortable bed. A good night's sleep is no problem here. A breakfast buffet in the morning, and you're ready for the next day
Yessss love that!! The hotel package sounds really nice 🙌
You mentioned it takes almost an hour, about 2 kilometers, to walk from dreamville to the festival. I’m deciding between staying in dreamville or staying in Brussels and taking a bus to/from the festival. I’m wondering if you happen to know 1. how long is the walk from where the bus picks/drops you off to the festival and 2. Until what time at night is transportation back to Brussels available?
I haven’t done the Brussels trek to and from the festival but someone commented that it took a long time to get back to the hotel, almost 4am. So dreamville even though it is a bit of a walk, you are back at your tent by 2am.
The buses are down the street, maybe a 20 min walk? And they should have public transport all night as there are so many people travelling over the festival weekend. Just expect it to be super packed with people trying to get to Brussels and Antwerp. Hope that helps!
Dreamville is part of the experience, don't miss it!
Hi guys!!! Someone know if There are some specific bus Tomorrowland From Chaleroi airport to festival? I have seen with public transport are two hours and little more !!
Not sure sorry! I would suggest you post in the Reddit Tomorrowland thread, they’re really helpful with answering specific questions :)
9:11 Re-Entery is allowed for dreamville all day and to the festival up to 3 hours before closing (dreamville tickets only, non dreamville one entry allowed per day).
Interesting! Is that for re-entering just Dreamville?
This is all I could find on the Tomorrowland website about entering the festival itself 🤷🏻♀️
Re-entry
For safety reasons, after leaving Tomorrowland, you will not be able to re-enter on the same day, even if you have a Tomorrowland Bracelet for 3 days.
Tomorrowland Day Bracelet
No re-entry is possible. When leaving the site, a new entry ticket is needed for new access to the festival site.
Tomorrowland Full Madness (Comfort) Bracelet
Re-entry is only possible the following day. You cannot re-enter the festival site on the same day.
DreamVille Bracelet
From DreamVille to Tomorrowland: You can enter the festival site until two hours before closing.
From Tomorrowland to DreamVille: For safety reasons, you can only re-enter DreamVille every day from 17:00.
@@the_hughesies re-entry is allowed for everyone who has some kind of camping ticket, but there are some restrictions, like you´re not allowed to re-enter before 17:00, look up their FAQ
Is it true that if you have more than 1 device trying to buy the tickets or in the line at the same wifi you will be rejected? It doesn't matter if it is in anotheraccounts?
Hi from México!
Hi from Scotland! We had multiple devices on wifi and data, we didn’t seem to have an issue but if you are able to, I’d recommend having them on different networks just to be extra prepared! Best of luck 🤞🤞
How to score party stuff in tomorrow land
Im from the USA. When did your bracelet arrive? How many days before the festival?... Im planning to travel around EU a month before the festival
I think it was a couple of weeks before and we were also travelling around before the festival. They were delivered to our friends who were home so they brought them to us. But don't worry at all, if you have ID with you then you can pick up a bracelet at the festival gates, so don't stress too much and enjoy your travels! Hope you get to go - have an epic time!
If you value sleep and need at least 6-8 hours of it per night to get through this behemoth 4 day festival, staying at Magnificent Greens in Dreamville is tough. Try as much as you can to stay at Montagoe or Easy Tents. These areas have a lot of nice perks, but the MOST important one is the relative silence after the festival ends at 12-1am. You can comfortably sleep without earplugs and at least in the Montagoe area, people dont start making noise until around 11am.
Definitely agree! Montagoe was on our Wishlist but we didn’t get it. Sounds like heaven!!
How about sleeping in car? Is it posdible at some parking lot? We would like to travel to TML by our own SUV car, and we used to sleep in car every festival, we have matress and everything for comfortable sleep in it
Ooh that’s a good question, I don’t think the festival parking area allows that. You might need to ask on reddit/Tomorrowland - someone might know more about areas nearby! :)
What about the tent area where we get the tent from tomorrowland? That was the only thing we could get but it says they provide the tent for us
If they provide the tent for you, it will be at a special spot that you’ll go to to pick it up, probably just after you enter Dreamville. There’ll be instructions for you with your ticket I imagine :)
@@the_hughesies oh perfect! Just wanted to be sure my husband and I could be next to each other since we were only able to get the single tents
How’s the shower and security for tent like?
The shower is pretty good, warm water at both, just one is free, one is a couple of pearls. There is no security at your tent so any of your belongings are your responsibility :) there are security and team around but they are more for the crowds than tents.
Wait... so the bracelet doesn't auto get sent? We need to go order it? We got tickets for this year but thought that was coming in the mail with the rest of the things
Yes don’t worry the bracelet gets sent with your tickets! It just doesn’t have tracking so if it doesn’t arrive in time, you can get a bracelet at the site :)
Has anyone been to Tomorrowland from tickets purchased from stub hub? How was your experience with that?
Not sure on that one - hopefully someone will be able to answer that for you soon! 🤞🤞
Pretty good tips but you had few wrong points. This year will be my 3rd Tomorrowland and I love it!
•Magnificent greens is not that crazy, they have it pretty well organized. They open the camping grass one row at the time, so people camp in a grid pattern and in an organized manner. I also won’t suggest a third tent for just your stuff, it’s better to get a bigger tent so you are being respectful with everyone else and don’t take unnecessary space.😉.
•If you have a dreamville pass, you can get in and out of the festival as much as you want (until certain time towards the end) I know this for experience.”, it’s just a pain to walk 20 minutes to the camp area, but they have funky bikes to make the trip quicker. It’s definitely better to get a locker, but get it quickly because they sell out rapidly.
A good pointer for the showers, is that the pay ones have electrical outlets and some hairdryers and hair irons (curling and straightening)
In my opinion, tomorrowland is the best music festival ever! Super clean, super organized, the attendees are respectful… I love the little details that the organization has. They even have refreshing stations near the restrooms (different types of deodorant sprays for you to freshen up)
Also, they always have a secret stage that they don’t announce. Last year was behind the main stage, near the bathroom entrance 😅
That’s fair! Appreciate your extra thoughts!
I would say with the tents I certainly agree, don’t take too much space, ours were just incredibly small, like we barely fit two people in them, so the third one was one we bought there that just fit our stuff in it, nothing too big at all.
Good to know about the Dreamville pass, that’s a great thing if you can go in and out without a hassle. We just treated it like once we were in the festival that was it til we were done.
It was sooo clean, we were so impressed!! Definitely the best one we’ve been to!
@@the_hughesiesone thing we did was taking a tent at least double our people (8 person tent for 3 people) that gives you a lot of space and it occupies less overall space than 2 tents.
Hope we see you guys there!
Can we bring outside food into the fest ?
We took some granola bars in, they do search your bag so make sure you don’t have too much with you, definitely no liquids for the festival site
I live in Belgium so which ticket do you recommend me ?
At this point, any ticket you can get to get you in to the festival. As you live there, you could also go on the waiting list incase you don’t get a ticket, anyone that falls through you will get a chance to buy their ticket.
We did Magnificent greens and it was a really fun experience so definitely can recommend the camping option :)
so the best way to get the dreamville package you want is by doing the global journey?
Not necessarily, it was just the easiest option for us to have all the travel and transfers taken care of in the travel package, less to think about really 🙌
Do you know anything about the bottle service package?
Not from personal experience but wow does it look incredible! I'd definitely recommend it if you had the cash for it. Your own private space guaranteed, drinks whenever you want, a perfect view of the Mainstage and probably nice toilets nearby. It looks epic!
@@the_hughesies what about if you had to choose from the global journey and the bottle service?
@@the_hughesies thanks for the reply!
@OhhKimmie8 mmm that is a tough one!! Do you think you would mainly be at the Mainstage or want to check out the other areas? We’d probably go with the Global Journey as we spent a lot of time at other stages…but then again, that drinks package would be pretty epic for the view and comfort! Honestly so tough to pick between the two 😅
If you go back to the camp, cant you go in to the festival? or i didnt understand fully...like maybe you forgot something imoprtant or soo =D
Maybe double check on the Tomorrowland website but from what I could find, you can re-enter dreamville multiple times a day but you can only enter the festival once a day, so best to not forget anything important just in case you can’t get back in :)
If my friends arrive before me , is it possible to reserve a spot for me or it won’t be possible
Is that for the camping? They can reserve for you, they just need to put out a tent to take the spot for you.
If you cant go to Boom. Remember they stream pretty much everything online. Get your friends together and have a party at home! Sure its not the same as the real thing, but at least you wont totally miss the fun!
Also TML for sure has understood that good sanitation and hygiene is the basis for any functioning society!
They do it so well! It was so clean, it really made the weekend so much better!
And very true, streaming online is a great way to enjoy it
Does the super market have toiletries too? Or just food
Yes it has toiletries, it’s pretty much set up like a supermarket :)
@@the_hughesies perfect I didn't want to pack all that
@user-gq6ym8yf8w just bring anything specific that you need (ie brands that you prefer) and the rest you should be able to pick up there :)
@the_hughesies perfect thank you so much! This video was so helpful, there's not a lot of information out there like you stated. And we've never gone to a festival or any music thing ever. So... it's crazy to think that tomorrowland is our first one lol.
@user-gq6ym8yf8w there really isn’t much info at all! Tomorrowland was a new scale for us too and I was a bit nervous so I’m glad this video has helped! It truly was amazing, the stages and the music were incredibly awesome. Have a blast!
6:49 no form is needed when charging pearls with credit card before the festival, refund is automatic.
Would love to go, but the cost 💀. Not to say I'm also a full time student.
That’s fair, it’s pretty expensive, definitely a bucket list thing for us! Hope you get to go sometime soon! 💃🏻
Try Creamfields in UK, it's really good and much cheaper.
@@aaronjohnson2215 it cost $900 for a round trip ticket for me to fly there💀
Apologies if this comes across as creepy but you have a beautiful voice 😅
Not at all, that’s really nice! Thanks for the compliment 😊
Creamfields is better. And yes I've been to Tomorrowland twice. Guaranteed tickets if you go Global journey on the release day.
I haven’t been to Creamfields, what makes it better for you?
@@the_hughesies Well I am from the UK so when I say I prefer Creamfields I take everything in to consideration, travel, cost, atmosphere etc. I would recommend anybody to go to Tomorrowland to experience all its 'bells % whistles'. I like to connect with lots of people at festivals but that is very limited at Tomorrowland as there is so many different languages there. Many people will choose TL over Creamfields though but this is just my preference.
@mezza.7 ok interesting, that’s good to know 👍 hopefully we’ll get to check it out sometime!
did the supermarket sell alcohol
No, you can only get alcohol at the drinks stands :)
@@the_hughesies but you can bring alcohol to camp when you first arrive at the festival
@danbrown784 you can, and people were leaving dreamville and going into boom to purchase more and bring it back to the campsite so there’s options if need be :)
I ve been there 2 times and i love to disturb dreamville people with my music at 8 am😂😂😂
Hahahaha 👏 someone’s gotta do it 😂😴
Bring very many waterproof clothes lmao
Unfortunately yes! It really got rained out last year ☔️😳
