Tomorrowland‘s second weekend will take place without large-scale fireworks, as organizers restrict pyrotechnics to the Main Stage only in response to prolonged dry conditions and elevated fire danger across Belgium.

The decision extends measures first imposed during weekend one by local authorities in Boom, the festival’s host municipality. A ban on personal barbecues and cooking equipment at the campsite also remains in force, with supervised communal cooking areas provided in designated zones.

Weekend two begins today, Thursday 23 July 2026, and runs through late Sunday night. The line-up includes:

Permitted pyrotechnics will be confined to the Main Stage and limited to T1 and T2 effects, which are designed for shorter safety distances and can be fully controlled. Organizers stressed that these are not the high-altitude fireworks traditionally used at the festival, and any deployment will depend on daily safety assessments conducted in consultation with authorities.

Belgium remains under a Code Orange wildfire risk warning, the second-highest alert level issued by the country’s authorities.
