On Thursday (July 14, 2022), Brussels Airlines celebrated the return of Tomorrowland in Boom after a two year hiatus due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Tomorrowland is an annual Belgian electronic music festival held in Boom, Flanders. This year, Brussels Airlines will carry around 25,000 festivalgoers of more than 130 nationalities to the festival. From July 13th, over 175 flights will depart from 69 different airports to Brussels Airport, where travelers will immediately feel the vibe and rhythm of the event thanks to DJ sets and other entertainment. Tomorrowland will be held over three different weekends this month: Weekend 1 (July 15-17th), Weekend 2 (July 22-24th) and Weekend 3 (July 29-31st).
In Thursday’s announcement, Brussels Airlines’ Head of Marketing, Michel Moriaux, said,
“As Belgium’s home carrier, we are very proud to have been a partner of the globally renowned Belgian festival Tomorrowland for ten years already. In 2012, we organised the first 25 party flights. We also created the Global Journey packages that year, allowing international festivalgoers to combine the festival with both their hotel or camping stay and their transportation by bus, train or plane. In 2017, we unveiled Amare, a plane with a special Tomorrowland livery, entirely dedicated to the festival. And we are convinced that the future will bring even more beautiful realisations together.”
