Overview
About this event
Tomorrowland is widely seen as the world's biggest electronic music festival. It draws hundreds of thousands of fans each year. Attendees travel from over 200 countries. The venue is De Schorre, a park in Boom, Belgium. Boom sits between Antwerp and Brussels.
Tomorrowland is known for elaborate stage productions. Every year brings a new theme. That theme shapes the visuals and the storytelling across the grounds.
Demand always outstrips ticket supply. So Tomorrowland runs two full weekends each July. Both weekends share the same production and stage design. But each weekend has its own lineup. Weekend 2 2026 runs July 24 to 26. It follows Weekend 1 on July 17 to 19.
The 2026 theme is Consciencia. It is Portuguese for conscience. It centres on six core emotions: wonder, love, anger, joy, desire and sadness. All 2026 Belgium passes sold out through official channels.
What Usually Happens at Tomorrowland?
Each weekend runs for three days. Performances span 16 themed stages. The Mainstage hosts the biggest headline sets. Other stages focus on techno, hardstyle, drum and bass, house and underground sounds. Known labels and collectives host several stages. Expect b2b sets, special formats and surprise guests.
Tomorrowland turns De Schorre into immersive themed worlds. Expect elaborate set design and international food markets. DreamVille offers on-site camping for the full weekend. Payments run through Pearls, a cashless system loaded onto wristbands.

Recap: 2025 & 2024
The biggest announcements from the last 2 Tomorrowland Weekend 2 editions.
Tomorrowland 2025 Recap
Tomorrowland has run its Belgium edition across two weekends most years, and the last two editions give direct context for 2026. Tomorrowland 2025 ran Weekend 1 from July 18 to 20; Weekend 2 ran July 25 to 27.
The theme was Orbyz, centred on a hidden civilization inside a melting glacier. Coverage of the rebuilt Mainstage and the Weekend 2 programme was tracked by Beatportal and Gray Area.
Main announcements included:
- A fire destroyed the original Mainstage on July 16, two days before Weekend 1. No attendees were present. About 1,000 staff evacuated safely. The cause remained under investigation, with early reports pointing to fireworks testing
- Metallica contributed stage parts from their own tour. Structural elements and speakers were flown in from Austria. This helped rebuild a scaled-down Mainstage within 48 hours
- Authorities investigated the death of a 35-year-old Canadian woman. She fell ill during Weekend 1, on July 18. Initial findings pointed to drug-related causes
- Organisers kept the rebuilt Mainstage unchanged for Weekend 2. Spokesperson Debby Wilmsen said the stripped-back setup put more focus on the artists themselves
- Weekend 2's lineup included Ben Bohmer, Solomun and Armin van Buuren. Amelie Lens, Hardwell and Swedish House Mafia also played. So did David Guetta, Steve Aoki and Martin Garrix
- Closing-day highlights included Afrojack's only set of the weekend. The Blessed Madonna closed the CORE stage. Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike played separate solo sets on different stages
- Tomorrowland introduced reusable RFID-enabled cups across the festival. This was part of a wider sustainability push tied to environmental regulations
