How to Experience Tomorrowland Festival in Style

Tomorrowland (Belgium) is arguably one of the largest electronic musical festivals worldwide. It is held every year in Boom, Belgium, which is north of Brussels by 32 kilometers and south of Antwerp by 16 kilometers. The festival’s original founders included ID&T Belgium and the first one was held in 2005. In the past 11 years, Tomorrowland (Belgium) has been numbered among the globally preeminent music festivals of all time.

It is definitely one of the most outrageous EDM festivals for stage design and layout and it is enjoyed by visitors from around the world. The main arena is open from 12pm every day during the festival until 1am, except Sunday when it closes at midnight. Ticket prices vary according to which package plan you choose.

Another interesting feature of Tomorrowland (Belgium) is the fact that they issue personalized bracelets in a special case instead of tickets to festival attendees. This not only helps save trees but also gives people something to get them into the campgrounds and the festival with greater ease. So, if you’ve never been to Tomorrowland (Belgium) before, here are a few hints regarding food, festivities, fun, and friendly accommodations.

1. Places to Go

Some of the major events at Tomorrowland (Belgium) include:

The Stages

Tomorrowland has almost 20 stages, and every one of them offers its own individual personality and artists’ styles. The sheer number of stages equates to a number of artists that play at the same time. Each stage is assiduously decorated. This means that the sheer brilliance of the decorations is as exciting as the overall event itself and the amazing music.

The Legendary Tomorrowland Main Stage

Every year, the festival has a different theme and that theme determines what the Main stage’s design will be. Many of them are amazing enough to cause total sensory overload. 2012’s theme was “the Book of Wisdom” and another year it was “The Arising of Life” Half the fun is not knowing what outrageous and amazing idea they’ll come up with this year until you get there.

Tomorrowland Lakes

The site of the festival is virtually covered with trees and lakes. Paddle boats are also available for rent and visitors can enjoy relaxing by the lakes for escaping the 120,000 to 200,000 other people in the festival crowd. Relaxing lakeside is a very serene experience.

The Church Of Love

One area of the festival has been designed just for lovers complete with privacy for 10 to 15 minutes, a bed, and even condoms.

Meeting the Locals

The Boom residents only total abut 16,000, but they’re a very interesting lot. They’re affectionately called “Boomers” and, yes, even Wikipedia calls them that. Just exactly how do they feel about the mad rush that hits their small town every year when Tomorrowland (Belgium) comes to town? Why not try meeting a few of them and find out? You can usually find them hanging out in the local bars or at many of the local restaurants. There are probably quite a few of them to be found at the festival itself, too.
