Tomorrowland started in 2005 in Boom and grew into one of electronic music's most recognizable festival brands, with stage design and line-up drops driving much of the yearly attention.
The useful structure is not winners. It is weekend dates, stage placement, ticket packages, DreamVille access and the official timetable.
A better top-level view is which artists return often, which stages carry the biggest demand and how weekend travel changes the experience.
- 2005: first edition in Boom.
- 2012: the two-weekend model became part of the festival story.
- 2022: the return edition expanded to three weekends.
- 2026: official line-up examples include Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Martin Garrix and Swedish House Mafia.
