Tomorrowland has run every July since 2005 at De Schorre park in Boom, Belgium, growing from a local gathering into one of the largest dance music festivals on earth. Organized by We Are One World, it drew attendees from more than 200 countries and peaked at roughly 600,000 visitors across three weekends in 2022, when the custom mainstage measured 270 meters wide and 53 meters tall. The 2026 edition runs two weekends (July 17-19 and July 24-26) under the theme "Consciencia", with Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris (his Tomorrowland debut), David Guetta, Tiesto, and Hardwell confirmed as headliners. The festival has broadcast online longer than most of its competitors have existed: the YouTube channel has cleared 2.2 billion views, the 2020 and 2021 "Around the World" paid virtual editions each drew more than a million viewers, and a 2025 TikTok partnership set an all-time platform record at 74 million viewers. Each year, 99 to 125 full sets go up on YouTube at no charge. On Ravestreams, you can watch every stage as it happens or catch any set you missed.

Livestream history

Tomorrowland has one of the deepest livestream track records in festival history. It moved from YouTube sets and a dedicated multi-view app in the mid-2010s to a full proprietary broadcast network. When COVID cancelled the 2020 in-person event, the festival produced 'Around the World', a fully rendered virtual edition with paid tickets, custom 3D stages, and over a million viewers, a model it repeated in 2021. From 2022 it rolled out One World TV and One World Radio as its own free multi-channel infrastructure, streaming main and secondary stages 13-plus hours daily across both weekends and the days between. The TikTok era arrived in 2023 with 16 million unique viewers as official content partner, growing to 74 million in 2025, a new all-time record for a live event on the platform. The festival routinely publishes 99 to 125 full recorded sets per edition for free on demand.
