Antwerp, Belgium
Before COVID hit, I had a ticket for the EDM festival in Belgium called Tomorrowland. Then, the festival got cancelled and postponed multiple times. I almost forgot I had them. Luckily, a friend reminded me. I wasn’t motivated to attend alone, but when my best friend from Germany also got interested in it and was lucky enough to get a one day pass on the same weekend as my weekend pass ticket, we decided to do a weekend trip up to Belgium. Since we already travelled for a month together in Iceland and arrived together in Munich, we needed to find a car to get up Antwerp.
We were able to rent a car for the extended weekend and left on a 6-hour drive up to Belgium. A Polish friend my friend and I met at the beginning of the year in Malta also joined us. He was also in Munich and had tickets, so it was a perfect fit. In that case, we also could switch drivers and arrive faster. We made it before it got dark. We checked into the hotel and left for dinner in the centre of Antwerp.
Boom, Belgium (Tomorrowland EDM Festival)
The following day, we had some time to explore the city by light. Quite a nice city. I’ve never been here. I explored some other parts of Belgium, but never in the city with the famous and big port.
In the afternoon, it was time to leave for the electric music festival we all came for. Tomorrowland is one of the best-known music festivals in the world, with more than half a million visitors. The stages and shows are stunning. Personally, I come more for that than the music itself. While I listen to EDM, I’m not crazy about it. All the well-known DJs are playing here on 14 different stages.
