Where is Tomorrowland? Boom, De Schorre and the way in

Where exactly is Tomorrowland Belgium?

Tomorrowland Belgium is held at De Schorre in Boom, a provincial recreation area in the province of Antwerp. The full name is Provinciaal Recreatiedomein De Schorre, and Tomorrowland’s own FAQ describes the location as “between Antwerp and Brussels”. Boom is a small town, so for most visitors the festival is the only reason it is on the map.

According to OpenStreetMap the address is Schommelei 1, 2850 Boom, at 51.0883 N, 4.3822 E. That address is useful for seeing where the site is in your map app, but it is not the same as the entrances. The main festival entrance and the two DreamVille entrances are on different streets, so check which one you need before you take a taxi or set your GPS.

How far is Boom from the nearest cities and airports?

Boom is about 14.5 km as the crow flies from Antwerpen-Centraal and about 27 km from the Grand-Place in Brussels. All distances below are straight-line distances from Schommelei 1, calculated from open coordinates. The road or rail distance is longer, and the travel time depends on traffic and changes.

Antwerp Airport is the closest, but the festival’s travel page does not mention it. That makes Brussels Airport the obvious choice if you fly, since it had both a train and an airport bus in 2026. From Mechelen a direct De Lijn bus took about 45 minutes according to the festival’s travel page, with extra buses after each festival day.

Where is DreamVille compared to the festival?

DreamVille, the festival’s camping town, sits right next to the festival grounds and spreads over two municipalities, Boom and Rumst. In 2026 DreamVille hosted 38,000 guests per weekend on 78 hectares, according to a Tomorrowland press release.

The campsite has two entrances, and the one you use depends on your accommodation:

• Entrance 1: Nachtegaalstraat, 2850 Boom. For Montagoe, Easy Tent, Camp2Camp and Friendship Garden.
• Entrance 2: Rumstsestraat, 2840 Rumst. For Magnificent Greens.

In 2026 a free bus ran between Boom station and DreamVille on Thursday, returning on Monday. Check-in opens on Thursday at 11:00, and everyone has to be out by Monday at 12:00. For the layout of the festival grounds themselves, with stages, water points and toilets, see our Tomorrowland map guide.

How do you get to Boom once you are in Belgium?

The simplest last leg is a train to Boom station, followed by a walk of about 20 minutes to the festival site. These were the options in 2026:

1. Take the train to Boom. The main ticket buyer got discount codes in their Tomorrowland account for an Event Train Ticket: 40% off in second class from any Belgian station to Boom and back, Thursday to Monday. You had to sort it out in advance, it was not sold on site, and the fine for travelling without one was EUR 90 (about SEK 1,000 or NOK 950).
2. Take the Brussels shuttle. It ran return trips to near the main entrance and was booked via event-tickets.be in 2026.
3. Use a City Shuttle. These left from several Belgian cities and from Breda, Eindhoven and Maastricht, via event-shuttle.be.
4. Take the bus from Mechelen. De Lijn ran a direct bus of about 45 minutes, with extra departures after the festival days.
5. Drive. The parking ticket is booked in the Add-On Sale, and signs for “Parking Festival” and “Parking DreamVille” lead in from the E19 and A12. Campers and caravans are banned, and you are not allowed to sleep in your car.

Each option step by step, from both Brussels and Antwerp, is in our guide to the Tomorrowland shuttle and transfers.

How do you get to Boom from Scandinavia?

From Sweden, Norway or Denmark there are three common set-ups: fly to Brussels, take a bus all the way, or drive. Flying from Stockholm (ARN), Gothenburg (GOT), Oslo (OSL), Bergen (BGO) or Copenhagen (CPH), Brussels Airport is the easiest target, because the train continues to Boom from there. Amsterdam Schiphol is 138 km away as the crow flies and had no official bus in 2026, so expect a longer final leg.

A bus all the way means no changes with your luggage. Coretours is one of the operators running buses from Sweden to Tomorrowland. In 2026 its buses left from Stockholm, Jönköping, Gothenburg, Helsingborg, Malmö and Copenhagen Airport, with extra stops in Varberg and Halmstad on Weekend 1, see coretours.se. Other operators and stops are compared on our bus to Tomorrowland page, and flights, train and car are set against each other in how to get to Tomorrowland.

Can you stay in Antwerp or Brussels instead of DreamVille?

Yes, and the location between two big cities makes it easy. Antwerp is the closest and has extra night trains from Boom after each festival day, though only to Antwerpen-Centraal. Brussels is further away and had its own return shuttle in 2026. Mechelen is a smaller option with a direct De Lijn bus. Keep in mind that there is no same-day re-entry to the festival grounds, so you go in once per day. The cities are compared by travel time and price level in our guide to hotels near Tomorrowland.

Is Tomorrowland always in Belgium?

Yes, Tomorrowland Belgium has been held in Boom since the first edition on Sunday 14 August 2005. No festival took place in Boom in 2020 and 2021; the digital festival Around the World was streamed instead. The 2026 edition was the 20th in Belgium.

The Tomorrowland name is also used for editions in other countries:

If a search for Tomorrowland turns up a film from 2015, that is something else. This site covers the festival in Boom.

Where was Tomorrowland 2026, and where is it in 2027?

Tomorrowland 2026 took place at De Schorre in Boom, Weekend 1 on 17-19 July and Weekend 2 on 24-26 July 2026. Tomorrowland 2027 is expected to return to Boom, but the dates have not been announced (as of 9 November 2026). Tomorrowland’s FAQ says more information about 2027 comes in December 2026. The pattern points to late November or early December: the 2025 dates were announced on 28 November 2024 and the 2026 dates on 4 December 2025. In summer 2026 a banner in DreamVille read “Uniting the World in 2027”, with Belgium listed according to EDMTunes. We update the Tomorrowland 2027 page as soon as the dates are official.

Practical notes for travellers from Scandinavia

• Time zone: Belgium is on the same time as Sweden, Norway and Denmark, so no clock changes.
• ID: within the Schengen area a national ID card or passport is enough for the trip. The name on your festival ticket must match your ID, and copies of ID are not accepted.
• Money: Belgium uses the euro, but there is no cash on the festival grounds. Everything is paid with Pearls on your bracelet, and in 2026 EUR 20 (about SEK 220 or NOK 210) bought 10.5 Pearls.
• Mobile: Swedish, Danish and Norwegian plans normally work just as they do at home in Belgium under EU and EEA roaming rules, but check the terms with your operator.
• Language: Boom is in Flanders, so signs at stations and bus stops are in Dutch. The station is simply called Boom.
