If metal is your music genre of choice, then the Graspop Metal Festival should be on your radar. This celebration of all things metal has been luring festival-goers to Dessel, Belgium since 1996, with annual attendance counts of over 135,000 fans. In addition to the main line-up of metal artists from around the world, there is also plenty of rock, punk, and other alternative music to fit every taste. The intimate size of the concert grounds and numerous camping options make it a true musical retreat.

3. Tomorrowland Belgium
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 308 reviews
Tickets sell out almost instantaneously for Tomorrowland, thanks to its reputation as one of the world’s biggest celebrations of electronic music, playing host to performances from techno to house, dance to trance. Now in its 11th year and notorious for its 15 wackily decorated stages and hypnotic lightshows, the festival is held in Boom, near Antwerp, and attracts a laid-back crowds of tens of thousands.

This was my second time to Tomorrowland, and I loved it just as much as the first time! I last went in 2017 and stayed in Magnificent Greens camping which was brilliant! Meet heaps of new people, only thing is you gotta pay for warm showers etc but it's hot enough just use the cold ones outside. 2019 I went with my partner, met up with our friends from Brisbane Australia, Canada, and the UK, aswell as meeting again with other groups of friends we made the previous time from the USA and Dubai! 2019 we upgraded our accommodation and went with the Easy Tent area, with pre set up tents and mattresses etc and our own shower/toilet areas and a shorter walk to the gate. People did have trouble with tent break ins etc but fortunately we didn't have this issue, and we also had an on-site locker where we kept most of our stuff except the clothes and toiletries we were using. The food and drink options both in the festival gates and in the Marketplace are amazing with options from all different country cuisines. They also have the option of hair and makeup services for you to have done too. Then there is the festival... unlike any other experience, performers and a acrobats around every turn, amazing stage designs and detail, the world's best DJs and more stages than you know what to do with. Hot tip is on Day 1; go as soon as the gates open, walk around and see every stage and really take it in as there is so much to see. Then at least you see it before getting caught up in the magic as by the end of day 3 you realize you only saw 4 stages out of all of them. Everyone is super lovely, happy to help out and all there for the same reason, the music, the atmosphere, and to dance together. Incomparable to anything else I've experienced, made new friends every time, and look forward to the next one! Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever
