Tomorrowland Weekend 1 or 2: which one should you pick?

Weekend 1 or Weekend 2: how they differ

Tomorrowland Belgium has two weekends in July with the same theme and the same festival site in Boom. What you are really choosing between is dates, artists and logistics. This is how 2026 looked:

If you plan holidays by week number: in 2026 Weekend 1 fell in week 29 and Weekend 2 in week 30, and the DreamVille check-out after Weekend 2 was the Monday of week 31. In Coretours’ 2026 timetable the departure times were the same both weeks, for example Stockholm 07:00, Gothenburg 15:00, Malmö 19:15 and Copenhagen Airport 21:00. Weekend 1 had two extra stops on the Swedish west coast.

Ticket types and prices were the same for both weekends in 2026, for example EUR 327 for the Full Madness Pass in the Pre-Sale and EUR 400 in the Worldwide Ticket Sale. There is no cheap weekend and expensive weekend.

Is Tomorrowland 2 weekends?

Yes, Tomorrowland Belgium has run over two weekends every year since 2023. Each weekend is its own festival of three days, Friday to Sunday, and a Full Madness Pass covers one weekend. The number of weekends has varied: one weekend until 2013, two in 2017-2019 (and, according to Dancing Astronaut, in 2014), and three in 2022. More on the days and opening hours is in how long is Tomorrowland.

Is the line-up the same both weekends?

The line-up and timetable are listed per weekend and day, so that is where you see whether an artist plays one weekend or both. The 2027 line-up has not been released as of 9 November 2026. The catch is the order of things. Tickets go on sale in January, and in 2026 the Worldwide Ticket Sale sold out on the evening it opened, 31 January. If the line-up is not out when you order, you pick a weekend without knowing who plays.

If one particular artist is the main reason for the trip, do not wait for the timetable. Pick the weekend that suits the rest of your life and treat the artists as a bonus. When the line-up and timetable usually come out is covered in Tomorrowland lineup and timetable.

Reasons to pick Weekend 1

• You see the show first. The Mainstage show and the year’s theme premiere on Weekend 1, before livestreams and clips spread.
• Pearls back a week earlier. In 2026 the automatic refund started on 24 July instead of 31 July.
• More bus stops from Sweden. On Coretours buses in 2026, Varberg and Halmstad were only served in week 1.
• More summer left afterwards. You are home by the end of July.

Reasons to pick Weekend 2

• You know what is coming. The Weekend 1 livestream shows the Mainstage show, so you can watch it in advance, or deliberately skip it to avoid spoilers.
• Lessons from Weekend 1. Practical issues from the first weekend, such as queues or weather, show up in the news and on social media before you leave.
• An extra week to prepare. More time for the bracelet, packing and the Event Train Ticket.

Weekend 1 or 2 with DreamVille

For DreamVille, the weekend makes no difference to the accommodation itself. The same accommodation types and prices applied to both weekends in 2026, and the campsite took 38,000 guests per weekend. The opening party The Gathering was held on the Thursday before each weekend, 16 and 23 July 2026, and check-out was the Monday after, by 12:00.

Only the dates differ. If your group struggles to get five days off in a row, compare which week works best before the sale.

Can you go to both weekends?

A Full Madness Pass only covers one weekend, so both weekends need two passes. Also think about the practical side:

• Pearls are only valid for one weekend. Whatever is left after Weekend 1 cannot be used on Weekend 2.
• DreamVille closes between the weekends. Everyone has to be out by Monday at 12:00, and check-in for the next weekend opens on Thursday at 11:00. You need somewhere else to stay in between.
• Maximum 4 people per account applied in 2026 across all sales, the Worldwide Pre-Sale and Worldwide Ticket Sale combined.

If you want to follow the other weekend from home, there is the livestream; see the Tomorrowland livestream guide.

What about the weather?

You cannot choose the weather. The KMI climate normals for July apply to the whole month, with an average of 14.3 days of rain and a mean maximum of 23.2 °C. July 2026 was unusually dry with 10.6 mm for the whole month, but 8.4 mm of that fell on Sunday 26 July, the last day of Weekend 2. July 2025 had rain on 14 days. Pack for sun and rain, whichever weekend you choose.

How to pick a weekend for 2027

The dates for Tomorrowland Belgium 2027 have not been announced as of 9 November 2026, but in the last two years the dates came in late November and early December. When they arrive:

1. Check holidays for the whole group. With DreamVille you need Thursday to Monday.
2. Decide on a weekend before the sale. You cannot change day, weekend or DreamVille package after purchase.
3. Have a backup weekend. The sale moves fast, so the other weekend may be the one with tickets left.
4. Check the travel. Bus stops and flight prices can differ between the weekends.
5. Pre-register. Pre-registration is required for every sale but does not guarantee a ticket.
