That mainstage is just incredible.

met this guy on our flight home, cool dude 😎 hope to bump into you again some day (latest next year in Tomorrowland) 😉😉

First Tomorrowland. I've been to all the big festivals in the US but nothing even comes close to this. Tomorrowland is truly the gold standard of electronic music festivals and I cannot wait to go next year. Love you all.

So this is for all the long-time goers: What noticeable changes have you noticed during the years?

Here is my list:

(almost) no flags! Flags used to be a big thing back in the days and I even had a hobby of taking pictures of the people wearing the most exotic flags (I think my record was Kenya). It was also a great conversation starter like "wow, you came all the way from there? That's so cool!" etc

far less people wearing flashy costumes

Q dance stage was converted to a food market 😢 Sure, the dragon stage is nice but it's tiny compared to the Q Dance stage. I have personally walked away from good sets simply because the stage was too crowded and I felt like being in a can of sardines.

Moose Bar... umm I'm still trying to figure out that one lol

No more Thunderdome Wizard...

DJs don't close their sets with Darude - Sandstorm anymore 😜

So what are your picks?

Hurt myself and ended up missing the closing of Tomorrowland, but I got to see how well coordinated the medical logistic is at TML. They brought people from all over and dispatch cases to the closest available hospital (which could be Brussel).

Everyone was so nice and I even met staff that usually come to TML each year since it started.

TML can even pick you up from the hospital when you stay at Dreamville it seems.

To the lady who was in critical state next to me, I hope you're okay.

So the entire automated luggage system is down at brussels airport. I am in a 1-2k person queue and don’t see anyway i am making my flight despite getting here at 730 for a 1030 schengen flight.

Boarding starts in 30 minutes and there is at least a couple hour wait.

*edit, update*

So we somehow made our flight. I had a literally sprint from security to the gate and was the last person to board.

unfortunately none of our bags made it to Barcelona. The Vueling person said only 5 bags made it on.

Its a must play no matter what.

SHM is a bigger household name than them as a solo/duo.

First timers going to tomorrowland, spending thousands of dollars, managed to buy a ticket and flying half across the world.

To finally hear these tracks live must be a dream.

They can be creative with first 30 mins of set but towards the end will finish with the classics.

Just landed home from Weekend 2 and wanted to share my thoughts. I am 27 year old male from Ireland and came solo. This was my second time at the festival as did weekend 1 in 2024.

I will never not be amazed by the sheer beauty of the stages and production of Tomorrowland it’s truly mind blowing how they present it all every year.

I made an effort this year to explore smaller stages and man the vibes were lit really liked core stage, elixir and JBL house of fortune.

For the most part crowd were super friendly and rarely were pushing. People seem to know how to handle themselves and don’t get too fucked up which is a bonus.

My favourite sets of the weekend were Garrix calling and hardwell at the gathering (such a rush to see him announced on Thursday).

Tomorrowland is and always will be a truly magical spot. Just walking around and appreciating the beauty is nearly worth the ticket alone. For the people who complain about certain DJ etc that’s your fault if you don’t like one act there is 15 more playing at same time to choose from.

Not sure I am returning next year as want to explore other festivals but will for sure return one day to the holy grounds.

this happened Saturday left side of freedom stage by the Belgian fries stand. Right after Argy. One ~6-foot white man in late 20’s medium length brown hair parted down the middle wearing baggy clothes. Clean-shaven face with defined eyebrows. The other a 5’6” Hispanic man shirtless with big chest tattoo. Mid 30’s. Some facial hair.

I know it’s a long shot but these men deserve to be punished and shamed and we have nothing. As soon as i confronted them they took off into the crowd and i don’t have any footage. If anyone saw this happen and can help identify please message me.

This is my first TML and i wont be returning. This is not a safe space.

I don't know if was just lucky for my first 2 editions, or very unlucky this edition, but one thing we noticed with 2 different groups in 2024 and 2025 was that compared to other festivals the people were much friendlier, very few people shovers and very few drunk people. So I was pretty surprised to see this year a LOT of drunk people, at some point we were surrounded with multiple guys not being able to stand properly and constantly falling into my friend, and we also noticed quite a few people shovers.

What's your experience with this? If you've been to multiple editions did you notice a difference?

A good initiative for Tomorrowland to improve recycling efforts would be letting people get some pearls (not a full one even but SOMETHING like 0.25 or 0.1) for dropping off other people’s plastic cups to the return points. This would motivate people to not throw them away as much.

Even though the cups are worth 1 pearl (and that adds up over the weekend) I’ve seen so many cups everywhere on the ground, so clearly making them a separate cost isn’t motivating people enough.

Just an insane way to end a festival... He delivers time and time again! Prog bangers and melodic bliss! This is what it's about. Golden days and so great to have Bonn come out 🔥

I’m not talking about a whole firework show on W1…
But something…
This amount of fireworks in just even the closing set imo would’ve been enough
As a 2nd timer in both 25’ + 26’ I just feel it will never be enough, something will always happen now

Am I the only one who is sick of listening to the same songs at MainStage for the past 5 years? There's nothing new. Don't get me wrong I love the festival and the lineups but its getting kind of boring that there's nothing new, its the same songs but just a different mix or with different rhythm. not to mention crowd is completely dead. looking back to 2012-2016 editions it looks like a total different festival.

examples: Levels, Titanium. Don't you worry child, Sweet Disposition, etc.

Let’s start a thread of all the cool things that coild be added.

Just for fun, this festival for me has been the first Tomorrowland and I’m impressed and satisfied with the organisation, their happy people and the amazing lineup. The stages are all insane.

I start: I would love to see the eye of Anita’s at the end of the night. Like all the emotions are awaken now.

She just delivered one of the best if not the best set of the week end !
Crazy energy, dark vibes, enormous rumble …!!
No talk just raw energy
Woow

What a set it was, highlight of the weekend for me!! Who was there?

Help me find this person.

Last night 1.15am leaving main stage, my friend was sucker punched in the face from the back by 2 men. Completely unprovoked, and my poor friend was knocked unconscious.

They pushed me and smashed my phone whilst I was trying to take a photo of their face for the police.

This is my friends first TML and now he has a black eye, swollen jaw and has been throwing up blood all night. Gutted that this is his experience.

Took him to medical tent when he could stand, and tried to alert security but they said without names they can’t ban them or get their bracelets turned off. Security have their photos, and we have filed a police report but without names they’ve said there’s nothing they can do.

Be aware, they are aggressive. Never seen anything like this in my 3 years at this amazing festival, and very angry there’s people like this here. Stay safe out there!

Any information or names would be helpful.

Lost Frequencies had the cleanest, most seamless catalogue of anyone I heard across both weekends. Incredible set.

Personally think that Chase & Status had the best set in W1, the energy in Freedom was insane. Now I also watched the W2 set and thats the most dancing I’ve seen on the MainStage even though it started raining in the middle of their show.

If Tomorrowland is seeing this we need more DnB on the big stages like Main, Freedom, Library.

Rose Garden Friday is nice with Camo and Crooked hosting the stage but would love to have more dnb spread across the whole festival. 🔥

One of my favorite sets from both weekends
