The world flies to Tomorrowland with Brussels Airlines

Nearly 50.000 festivalgoers travel to Belgium via Global Journey for Tomorrowland Belgium 2025

Friday, 18 July 2025 - The world is coming together in Belgium this summer as Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland once again unite to create a magical beginning for thousands of People of Tomorrow. With the return of the legendary Tomorrowland Party Flights and a record 49.876 Global Journey travellers from 165 countries, Belgium becomes the beating heart of global unity and music, with festivalgoers from every corner of the world travelling all united (by plane, train, bus and even bike) to Tomorrowland thanks to Global Journey, the festival’s official travel program, making it the largest ever undertaking by a festival worldwide. Last week, the first guests participating in the Discover Europe adventure already arrived in Europe. Starting their journey in Amsterdam or Barcelona, the unique trip takes festivalgoers to up to 5 European cities, finishing off with a weekend of magic at Tomorrowland. In each city, a program with different activities invites the People of Tomorrow to connect and make friends with people from all over the globe, creating memories and long-lasting friendships.

Tomorrowland Party Flights: a one-of-a-kind aviation experience
Today, the first Tomorrowland Party Flight of the year — SN1687 from Ibiza — landed at Brussels Airport, with 180 festivalgoers, soundtracked by Belgian DJ Nina Black. 

Nina Black, DJ on the Tomorrowland party flight: “It’s my third year playing at Tomorrowland and every year they give me new and exciting opportunities to elevate my sets, this time quite literally, with a party flight. I’m incredibly grateful for how far this journey has taken me. Playing in Ibiza this year is a real 'full-circle' moment - another dream crossed off the bucket list.”

This is just one of seven exclusive party flights departing from cities like Barcelona, Copenhagen, and Vienna, offering over 1,000 passengers a flying dancefloor unlike any other in the world. Complementing these flights, ten Gate Parties are being held at airports across Europe, igniting the Tomorrowland spirit from the moment guests arrive at the airport.

Michel Moriaux, Head of Marketing, Brussels Airlines: “When the idea of organizing party flights was first introduced, it certainly raised some eyebrows. The challenges were significant, and many considered it an unrealistic ambition. But at Brussels Airlines, we believe that bold ideas are worth pursuing. With careful planning, close collaboration, and a determination to innovate, we turned a daring concept into a unique reality. Today, our party flights remain a one-of-a-kind experience in commercial aviation, and a testament to what’s possible when passion meets perseverance.”

Amre: the flying icon of unity
Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland have been working together since 2012, and recently renewed their collaboration through 2028. The partnership is built on shared values: connecting cultures, exploring the world and unity. 

Launched in April 2024, Amare is a specially designed Airbus A320neo co-created by Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland. The aircraft's vibrant design reflects the energy of Tomorrowland, with dynamic motion, magical energy lines, and elements taken from the Tomorrowland universe where Amare plays a key role in stories and on stage.

In their continued efforts toward more sustainable travel, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland only offer Green Fares as part of Global Journey packages, allowing travelers to purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel, offset their personal flight-related CO₂ emissions and support a more eco-conscious aviation.

Debby Wilmsen, spokesperson Tomorrowland:“This year, we have nearly 50,000 people who come to Tomorrowland with Global Journey, a record! We welcome over 25,000 people by plane, but for shorter distances we also offer journeys by train, bus and even bike. We have live DJ-sets on trains from Düsseldorf and Amsterdam, and we also strongly promote carpooling to help reduce our environmental footprint, all while keeping the spirit of unity and togetherness alive on every journey.”

DreamVille check-in and Amare rides 
Returning home? Festivalgoers can check in luggage directly at the Brussels Airlines baggage drop-off point at Tomorrowland’s campsite DreamVille. A Brussels Airlines Service Desk is also available on-site for questions and assistance. And of course, all festivalgoers are invited to ride The Home of Amare Ferris wheel, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the magical Tomorrowland grounds in Boom. 

Global Journey: the largest travel operation by any festival
Tomorrowland’s Global Journey is the world’s most extensive festival travel program, combining flights, trains, buses, and accommodation into a seamless experience. This year, almost 50,000 People of Tomorrow are traveling to Tomorrowland via Global Journey packages.
