Parking at Tomorrowland: everything you need to know
Tomorrowland is one of the world’s biggest music festivals and takes place every year in Boom, a town located between Antwerp and Brussels.
Whether you’re camping at DreamVille for a few days or heading to the festival for just one day, parking can be a real challenge. In this practical guide, we explain how to park without stress and explore smart alternatives offered by both SparkSpot and Tomorrowland, especially for those living nearby.
Where to park for Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland provides official parking areas close to both the main festival site and DreamVille. These car parks are clearly signposted, easy to reach by car and monitored by the organisers. There's no need to search the nearby streets, where parking is often restricted or reserved for residents.
The festival is held at De Schorre, a large recreational park in Boom. DreamVille, Tomorrowland’s camping area, has two entrances: one via Nachtegaalstraat in Boom and the other via Rumstsestraat in Rumst.
You can find full details on the official Tomorrowland website.
How to buy a parking voucher for Tomorrowland or DreamVille
To access the official car parks, it’s best to buy a parking voucher in advance via the Tomorrowland website. A DreamVille parking voucher is valid for five days. A Tomorrowland parking voucher is valid for either one day or a full three-day weekend, depending on your ticket.
You’ll receive your vouchers digitally. Make sure to download and save them ahead of time. If you arrive without one, you can still pay at the gate, but this will cost you more. The organisers charge up to €5 extra per car when paying on arrival.
Can you park without a voucher?
Yes, you can still access the parking without a pre-purchased voucher. In that case, payment must be made in cash at the entrance. Note that card payments are not accepted on site.
If you prefer paying digitally or want to be sure of a space, buying a voucher in advance is the better option.
What are the opening hours for the car parks?
Tomorrowland car parks are only open on the official festival days and close shortly after midnight. The times are:
- Friday: 11.00 to 02.00
- Saturday: 11.00 to 02.00
- Sunday: 11.00 to 01.00
DreamVille car parks open earlier and stay open longer. You can park there from Thursday at 10.00 until Monday at 14.00, making it the ideal choice for campers.
What to know about using your parking space
Once you leave the parking area, your space is no longer guaranteed. If you return later, you’ll need to purchase a new ticket. You also can’t reserve a specific space in advance.
It’s not allowed to sleep or stay in your vehicle while parked. These parking spots are strictly for those attending the festival during opening hours.
Parking for visitors with reduced mobility
Visitors with a blue disabled parking badge can use the dedicated area on Schommelei in Boom. Be sure to display your badge clearly. These spaces are kept as close as possible to the entrance.
Important terms and rules for parking
By entering the parking area or buying a voucher, you agree to Tomorrowland’s official terms and conditions. These include:
- The organisers are not liable for damage, theft or accidents
- Vouchers will not be refunded if bought for the wrong date or weekend
- Anyone who violates the rules may be denied entry to the event
These rules are strictly enforced. Breaches may result in being banned from the festival for several years.
Shuttles and other alternatives
If you’d rather not drive, Tomorrowland also offers excellent shuttle and public transport options. These are reliable, well-organised and drop you off close to the festival gates.
Travelling by bus
For the 2025 edition, Event-Shuttle and Keolis will operate daily festival shuttles from 38 cities across Belgium. Return journeys cost from €39 and are available on all festival days: 18, 19, 20 July and 25, 26, 27 July. Buses arrive around 12.00 and leave again at 02.00 on Friday and Saturday, and at 01.00 on Sunday. Drop-off is just 500 metres from the entrance.
The return trip is included in your ticket and must be used within 24 hours of arrival. If you’re departing from Brussels or one of the nearby airports (Brussels, Charleroi or Eindhoven), the fare ranges from €26 to €38 per person. For all other cities, prices are between €40 and €50.
You can book your shuttle tickets via the official website.
Travelling by train
Tomorrowland is also easy to reach by train. With the special NMBS discount code in your Tomorrowland account, you can purchase an Event Train Ticket at 50% off from any Belgian station to Boom.
