The world's most iconic electronic music festival
Tomorrowland is the largest and most prestigious electronic dance music festival in the world. Founded in 2005 and held annually at the De Schorre provincial recreational domain in Boom, Belgium, the festival has grown from a single-day event into a two-weekend, multi-week celebration of electronic music culture that draws over 400,000 attendees from more than 200 countries.
What sets Tomorrowland apart from every other festival on the planet is its legendary mainstage design. Each year, the festival unveils a completely new, breathtaking mainstage built around a unique theme. These elaborate stage constructions have become iconic symbols of the festival and of electronic music culture itself, ranging from enormous books and volcanoes to mystical forests and fantasy castles. The production quality is unmatched anywhere in the world.
Organized by ID&T, Tomorrowland features 16 or more stages spread across the rolling hills and parkland of the De Schorre domain. Over 800 artists perform across both weekends, spanning every subgenre of electronic music from progressive house and trance to techno, drum & bass, hardstyle, and everything in between. The festival's DreamVille camping experience transforms the surrounding area into a temporary city, complete with themed camping zones, restaurants, supermarkets, and even a spa.
Beyond Belgium, Tomorrowland has expanded internationally with editions such as TomorrowWorld in the United States and Tomorrowland Winter in the French Alps, further cementing its position as the most influential festival brand in electronic music. The annual Tomorrowland aftermovies have become cultural events in their own right, amassing hundreds of millions of views on YouTube and inspiring new generations of electronic music fans around the world.

From a one-day gathering to the world's greatest festival
The very first Tomorrowland took place on August 14, 2005, at the De Schorre domain in Boom, Belgium. Approximately 9,000 people attended the one-day event featuring artists like Armin van Buuren, Push, and Yves Deruyter. Nobody could have predicted what it would become.
Due to overwhelming demand, Tomorrowland expanded from a one-day to a two-day festival format, with attendance surging past 180,000. The festival was already establishing itself as the premier electronic music event on the planet.
Tomorrowland launched its first international edition, TomorrowWorld, in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, USA. This marked the beginning of Tomorrowland's ambition to bring its unique festival experience to audiences across the globe.
To meet insatiable demand, Tomorrowland expanded to two consecutive weekends for the first time, effectively doubling the festival's capacity and allowing over 360,000 total attendees. Tickets for both weekends sold out in under an hour.
Tomorrowland celebrated its 15th anniversary with the theme "The Book of Wisdom: The Return." The edition featured one of the most elaborate mainstages in history and welcomed over 400,000 attendees across both weekends, solidifying its status as the world's greatest festival.
After two years of cancellations and a digital "Around the World" edition, Tomorrowland made its triumphant return with a three-weekend format for the first time ever. The emotional return drew hundreds of thousands of fans and was hailed as one of the most powerful editions in the festival's history.
The 2023 edition continued to push boundaries with a new thematic mainstage, record-breaking production, and historic moments including Charlotte de Witte becoming the first woman to close the Tomorrowland mainstage. The aftermovie garnered over 100 million views.
