Tomorrowland 2027 Packing List: Camping at DreamVille

Camper sitting outside a green dome tent at a festival campsite

Tomorrowland Belgium returns to De Schorre in Boom, between Antwerp and Brussels, over two weekends in 2027: 16–18 July and 23–25 July. People fly in from all over the world for it, and a lot of them sleep at DreamVille, the festival's own campsite. DreamVille has a strict packing list, so read this before you buy anything.

Your own tent, if you are in the Magnificent Greens

The Magnificent Greens is the biggest DreamVille area, and there you bring your own camping gear and pitch your own tent (Tomorrowland also sells tent packages). A tent that goes up fast and sheds rain is worth more than a big one: tents and our tent guide. It is July in Belgium, so pack for a wet night as well as a hot day: Rain & Mud.

No gas, no candles, no BBQ by the tent

DreamVille does not allow gas installations, small barbecues or simple gas rings, candles, spray cans or glass. Bonfires and barbecues are not allowed between the tents; you can only barbecue at the dedicated BBQ areas near each District House, where the grills are already set up. You can bring your own food with no restrictions, so we plan no-cook meals: Festival Food & Snacks. For light, go battery: our camp lighting guide.

Power: leave the power station at home

This one catches people out. Generators and portable power stations are not allowed in DreamVille, and power banks are capped at 30,000 mAh. A good 20,000 to 30,000 mAh bank and a short cable is the kit: keeping your phone charged. District Houses also run a battery swap point for Tomorrowland's own batteries.

The drinks rule

Per person, you can bring up to 6 cans of alcoholic drinks (50 cl max each), up to 6 cans or plastic bottles of soda or energy drinks (50 cl max each), and as much water as you like. Everything has to be sealed. Inside the festival grounds, your own food and drinks are not allowed, and only small backpacks or small bags get in.

No campers or caravans

If you were hoping to roll in with a campervan, you can't. Campers and caravans are not allowed in or at DreamVille, and sleeping in your car in the parking areas is forbidden. Camping is only allowed on the campsite. If you want a van trip in Europe, our European guides list which fests do take campervans.

Sleep and the trolley

Music systems are not allowed at DreamVille, but it is still a campsite next to a huge festival, so pack earplugs and a mask: earplugs and sleep masks. Tomorrowland itself suggests a trolley for your luggage; our festival wagon guide covers what rolls well on grass.

Check before you pack

The 2027 dates come from Tomorrowland's official site. The DreamVille rules above are the ones Tomorrowland currently publishes (from its 2026 house rules), and its FAQ says more 2027 details are due at the end of this year, so recheck before you buy: What (not) to bring and Magnificent Greens on belgium.tomorrowland.com.
