A peek into the magic of Tomorrowland

December 2023

Hi there!

It's time to close the chapter of 2023 and take a moment to reflect on the journey that has been undertaken.

Before we dive into the new year, let’s look back at December. A brand-new VR/immersive experience has opened in Barcelona. A unique collaboration with Ridley was launched and the Tomorrowland Foundation Music & Arts School in India celebrated its 1 year anniversary.

Have fun at the end of the year and see you in 2024! Maybe in Mexico? As a brand-new CORE stage will be set up in Tulum on January 13 and 20.

Cheers!

Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland invest in more sustainable transport

For the 11th time, Brussels Airlines will bring partygoers from all over the world to Belgium to Tomorrowland. For the edition of 2024, all sold plane tickets in the Global Journey packages on Brussels Airlines will be Green Fares. This is a specific fare of Brussels Airlines and all Lufthansa Group Airlines where passengers can purchase 20% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and contribute for 80% to high-quality, Belgian and local climate compensation projects. On the special party flights, both partners even take it a step further. In addition to the Green Fare, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland contribute to the other 80% SAF. Lufthansa Group will purchase the equivalent of SAF for the fuel necessary for these party flights.
