Tomorrowland, held annually in Boom, Belgium, is not just a music festival—it’s a global spectacle that blends EDM, fantasy, and theatrical artistry into one unforgettable experience. First launched in 2005 as a modest one-day event, it has since blossomed into one of the world’s most celebrated music gatherings, drawing around 400,000 “People of Tomorrow” over two weekends each summer.
Set in the lush grounds of De Schorre, the festival transforms the landscape into an enchanting realm of stages, wonderlands, and themed realms that shift every year. In 2025, the theme is “Orbyz”—an icy fantasy universe awakening beneath ancient glaciers . Each edition features an expansive lineup of globally renowned DJs—spanning house, trance, techno, hardstyle, and more—performing across multiple immersive stages.
But Tomorrowland goes beyond music. It offers a storytelling experience full of theatrical sets, cosplay-like attendees, and communal magic. It’s a worldwide gathering united by creativity, joy, and shared musical love .
In 2025, the festival faced an unexpected challenge: the main stage caught fire just days before opening, yet organizers adapted swiftly—mobilizing technical crews and even borrowing structures from a Metallica tour—to ensure the festival continued with minimal disruption
