Brussels Airlines Expands Travel Options for Tomorrowland 2025 Attendees
Over 25,000 people are expected to arrive in Belgium this week for Tomorrowland 2025, which begins on 18 July. Despite a recent fire that damaged part of the mainstage, flights connected to the festival started landing on 16 July, bringing participants from more than 160 countries through scheduled transport routes. The festival has confirmed that its programme will proceed without changes, and infrastructure has been adapted to ensure visitor access and crowd movement remain unaffected.
The first themed flight departed from Ibiza and included a live DJ performance during the journey. Additional connections from Vienna and Copenhagen are operating throughout the week, offering more direct access for European travellers arriving for the event. These flights are part of a larger travel scheme designed to help festivalgoers avoid complex transfers by offering streamlined transport options that link directly with on-site accommodation or central hubs in Belgium.
New festival flights from Copenhagen and Vienna are arriving in Belgium, with routes that also allow access to other cities along the way. Connections through Copenhagen often include Antwerp, where travellers can walk the Scheldt riverfront or stop at summer food stalls on Groenplaats. Flights via Vienna may link through Mechelen, where café terraces around Vismarkt and the riverside promenade are active during the warmer months.
Flights from Barcelona and Prague are also now operating, giving travellers more options when planning their route. After landing, some choose to visit Ghent’s Graslei and Korenlei area, where summer pop-ups line the quay and evening performers gather along the canal. Travellers arriving from Prague may spend time in Leuven, where courtyard stages at Oude Markt host live music and seasonal food stands fill the squares during festival weeks.
The addition of new direct flights and optional stopovers expands access to the festival while offering more flexibility for international travel. Passengers using the Global Journey programme can plan routes that include visits to other Belgian cities without booking separate connections. The current model reflects a rising demand for travel tied to cultural events, where both the journey and the destination offer value to the traveller.
