TomorrowlandExpected late July 2027, two weekends (not confirmed)Boom, Antwerp province, Belgium

Dates unconfirmed DJ Mag. The official site has not confirmed 2027 dates. Third-party sites list 17–19 and 24–26 July 2027, but those fall Saturday to Monday, so they look copied from 2026. Recent editions ran over two weekends in late July (2023, 2024 and 2026). Tomorrowland Winter in Alpe d’Huez is confirmed separately for 20–27 March 2027.

Tomorrowland is a two-weekend EDM festival in Boom, near Antwerp, with 400,000 visitors in 2026; its 2027 Belgian dates are not confirmed yet. It is the most costume-forward festival in Europe: metallics, holographic fabrics, body crystals and country flags worn as capes, next to plenty of everyday athleisure.
