I saw a post here the other day from someone saying they struggled with body dysmorphia at the festival because they were surrounded by so many conventionally attractive people. The skinny influencer types, the gym guys with six-packs, people who seem like they walked straight out of a fitness ad. Reading it reminded me a lot of how I felt.

I'm a 30-year-old guy, and I weigh around 145 ish kg. I cannot change my body in a magic snap even if I wanted to at that moment at the festival. The first time I went to Tomorrowland was ten years ago, and I remember constantly feeling like I didn't belong. Everywhere I looked, I compared myself to everyone else. I felt out of place, convinced people were judging me, even though, looking back, most of that was happening in my own head.

Since then, I've been back several times, and I've learned something that I wish someone had told me back then: almost nobody cares what you look like.

At least, I certainly don't. And from my experience, neither do the overwhelming majority of people there. Tomorrowland is one of the most welcoming and inclusive festivals I've ever been to. Are there rude or shallow people? Sure. You'll find those anywhere. Festivals don't magically erase bad personalities. But they're a tiny minority compared to the thousands of genuinely kind, open-minded people who are just there to enjoy the music and have a good time.

Last year I went by myself. I was wandering around a bit, feeling lost at times, and every now and then I'd catch myself comparing my body to everyone around me again. Then this absolutely shredded guy and his girlfriend noticed I was on my own, started talking to me, and basically took me under their wing for the rest of the day. We danced together, explored stages, laughed, and had an amazing time. Not once did they make me feel like I was different or didn't belong. If anything, they made me feel the exact opposite.

That experience really put things into perspective. Most of the insecurities we carry around are far louder in our own minds than they are in anyone else's.

So if you're worried about your body before going, don't let it stop you. Whether you're skinny, overweight, muscular, short, tall, covered in tattoos, or none of the above, you deserve to be there just as much as everyone else. The people who matter won't judge you, and the people who do judge you aren't worth your time anyway.

Tomorrowland belongs to everyone. If you show up as yourself and let yourself enjoy the experience, you'll fit in far more than you think.

My fifth TML and my partners 9th. We met through music and sealed the deal through music. Thank you to TML, and everyone we met at W1 who made this so special ❤️

What an experience! I’m so glad I got to do TML and it is now ticked off the bucket list.
I tell you what people don’t tell you how bad the post Tomorrowland blues are though I can’t cope🤣 and I’ve also never slept so much since getting home!!

Saw working dogs actually flag several people during weekend 1 both inside and outside the festival, with police then taking them away! Still very low #s relative to total attendance.

Here’s an overview of what I purchased, with prices in pearls.

Snapped a quick pic of our favourite stage on the last night of the festival 💜 The energy and sets we caught this weekend were all amazing! Big love to all of the artists!

Wk1 was awesome and all the people were friendly and spreading love for music and life 🩵 hope to see you all next year🦋

I watch app for fun I find this what you think???

Infinite goosebumps on that progressive revival they all made!! 🔥 Highest energy, fantastic crowd, no phones just pure madness. This was my absolute highlight and I could have died straight afterwards. Having been to TL 2013,2015 this was out of this world like back in the good days 🎉🎉🫰🫰🥰

Any news?

Hello, was I the only one a bit disappointed in Halo on mainstage?

Third Party is one of my favourite groups and their set at ADE in Amsterdam was one of the best nights of my life, so I was mega excited to see them on the mainstage.

But the execution fell a bit flat for me, I didn't love the non third party tracks.

Maybe it was also a me thing, an intimate setting vs a big set, even if I usually like the latter...

I don't know, just a bit disappointed in one of my most anticipated sets.

Many are already on their way to the Holy Grounds but I will let this essentials list from one person (male) perspective, camping at Dreamville-MG.

Are there any official or unofficial events happening tonight. Just arrived solo and would love to go out and meet people before the festival

Hi guys

Made my proposal to my gf on friday on the Rose Garden
If anyone got pics or videos, would be appreciated 👀
It was at the end of Maelie set

Hey!

I searched for this info during W1 and couldn't find it, so hopefully it helps people in W2 and in future years.

We had the 4 person Easy Tent and flew home with Ryanair. The two tents, the middle tent part, and 2 air mattresses weighed around 24kg total. Since we'd booked 23kg checked luggage, we just put one air mattress in our backpack and ended up around 21kg for the checked bag.

Keep in mind this doesn't include sleeping bags, which will add extra weight and volume.

If you have the 2 person Easy Tent, expect around 11kg for the tent plus air mattress.

Taking the tent down was easy, just follow the instructions printed on the bag (you'll find it inside the tent).

As you can see, it's quite heavy, so plan your travel day accordingly. You might want to grab a taxi instead of relying on public transport.

I’m a big tech house fan (so Friday is fully stacked with the Experts Only takeover and I’ve got some very interesting sets on Sunday) but to end Friday night, I feel that it’s lighter.
I’m hesitating between
-Alesso at the Freedom (I saw him in Vegas last year and love his body hi concept) but would I still be able to get into the venue if I arrive at 11pm, right when the set starts?
And Harwell on the Mainstage. I’ve watched some of his sets. They seem pretty techno-oriented and quite solid, but I’m a bit worried there might be too many big EDM-style drops and huge synth breakdowns. What do you think his set will be like?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how the Spectacular DreamLodges are numbered or assigned in this area?

I marked four rows in the image with yellow, orange, green, and purple lines.

We’re trying to plan our arrival time and understand roughly where we might be placed. Any information from people who stayed there in previous W1 would be really helpful. Thanks!

Is it possible to not pick up the GJ envelope for a bus package and then pick it up (for the return bus) along with the goodie bag at Dreamville at the Global Journey desk?

For me this is most crazy video of tomorrowland 2026 😂 🦄
