Tomorrowland expands to two weekends

Summary

The world’s most popular dance festival, Tomorrowland, will take place over two weekends next July instead of the usual one in celebration of its 10th anniversary

Dance festival celebrates 10 years in Boom

Flanders’ summer dance music festival Tomorrowland has received permission from the city of Boom, Antwerp province, to expand to cover two weekends next year for its 10th anniversary edition. Known as the best dance music festival in the world, Tomorrowland will be able to sell twice as many tickets next summer, thanks to the extension.

“Last year, requests for tickets was enormous,” read a statement by Tomorrowland founders Manu and Michiel Beers. “The organisation was overwhelmed with requests for tickets months after selling out from people who really wanted to be there. The demand is much larger than the capacity."

The three extra days will bring the total number of tickets on sale to 300,000. There is no doubt the tickets will sell: Last Year, Tomorrowland sold out its 150,000 tickets in a few hours.

The Beers brothers emphasise that the extension from three days to six is one-time-only for the jubilee “in order to limit the pressure on the neighbourhood, our organisation and the beautiful recreation area De Schorre”.

Tomorrowland takes place from 18-20 and 25-27 July, 2014. Half of all tickets for both weekends are reserved for Belgian buyers. Those tickets go on sale early next year.
