Festival outfits – if you’re looking for ideas, check out my comprehensive post: What To Wear to Tomorrowland: Outfits for the Classy, Trashy, and Outrageous

PJs

Sneakers / tennis shoes

Sweater – it can get cold at night

Swimwear – for tanning or for the pool if you’re in VIP

Socks, underwear (bring extra)

Sunglasses you don’t mind losing

Hand fan

Backpack or Fanny Pack (see below)

Those that know me know that I swear by my fanny pack. It’s the best for dancing! It is also harder to steal from (unfortunately there are people like that out there), and works for both men and women.

This galactic design is great for raves:



And they’re also available with different designs (i.e. American flag!)

Note: You can buy many of these clothing items (except maybe shoes, socks and underwear) at the Tomorrowland merch store, so it’s not the end of the world if you don’t bring enough clothes 😉

Toiletries

Tissue paper

Wet wipes

Sun screen (I personally love the Banana Boat sunscreen, you don’t feel it on your skin at all)

Toothbrush & Toothpaste

Hat

Chapstick

Lotion

Shampoo & Conditioner

Hand sanitizer

Bandaids

Razor

Technology

Portable charger – Tomorrowland has USB chargers for rent, but why not bring your own for convenience? (Anker PowerCore 10000 recommended. Lightweight and holds 3.5 charges)

Plug adapter if you’re not from continental Europe

Charging usb cable

Prepaid sim card – you can buy this at any major Belgian city

Dreamville Camping packing list

Tent

Pillow

Air mattress (Tomorrowland shop can pump it up for you so you don’t need to bring a pump)

Blanket

Lantern / Flashlight

Trash bags

Sleeping mask

Toiletry bag for showering (a hanging toiletry bag is honestly a lifesaver – hang it on the shower hooks or on the door)

toiletry bag is honestly a lifesaver – hang it on the shower hooks or on the door) Bath Towel

Hand held mirror (to do makeup, ladies)

Mouthwash (for when the bathroom is too far away)

Dry Shampoo – a lifesaver for the ladies! Ain’t nobody have time for the shower 😉

A party animal’s packing list

Fun things like LED earrings (I freaking love these), light-up shoelaces, and glowsticks

Totem poles (long poles are not allowed in Tomorrowland, but what about an inflatable pole like this ducky basher?)

Bottle caps (they don’t give you the cap of water bottles in the festival)

Flag – represent your country with a flag! (American flags & more)

Bluetooth speaker to continue that party at the campsite (Recommended: Sony SRSX33 Powerful Portable Bluetooth Speaker – I personally have this one and I was blown away by the quality of the bass… especially given the low price tag!)

Secret flasks!! (see below)

Tomorrowland is expensive. And of course, you can’t bring your own alcohol into the festival. However, of course, for the delinquent raver, there are ways around this. In today’s world you can buy anything off of the internet, including… decoy flasks!

Bring a couple of these flasks, bring your own vodka into Tomorrowland, buy a soft drink for the price of a token, and spike up your drink. And you’ll have a great time without breaking the bank!

Recommended secret flasks:

Tipsy Tubes 8 Oz. Hidden Alcohol Flask.

GoPong Sport Bottle Sunscreen Flask 2 Pack, Includes Funnel and Liquor Bottle Pour Spout

Speakeasy Briefs, Men’s Stash Underwear with a Secret Front Pocket

Note: You are allowed to bring food & drink, including alcohol, into Dreamville (the camping area). They just need to be in plastic bottles, not glass.



Ultimate comfort packing list

For an elevated festival experience

Portable fan – it can get HOT at Tomorrowland! Be the envy of the festival with a battery operated portable fan (Recommended: Small Portable Fan, USB Battery Operated)

Selfie Stick

GoPro

Camelback hydration pack (Recommended: WACOOL 2L Waterproof Hydration Pack)

Umbrella

Raincoat – rain during Tomorrowland is not uncommon, be prepared!

Women’s Hooded Raincoat Waterproof Transparent

Don’t let the raincoat hide your outfit! Get a transparent poncho.



For an elevated Dreamville camping experience

Camp chairs

Headphones – for the nights that you can’t sleep because your neighbors are still raging

Alcohol

Disposable BBQ grill

Snacks

Gum

Beverages

Note: You can buy these supplies in Boom. Dreamville has shops and a grocery store, but they don’t sell alcohol.
