I thought I'd post this on this website, as we're having trouble finding an answer, and thought SOMEONE who's done Interrailing must have done Tomorrowland too. :)

So, 5 friends and I are going Interrailing in Summer 2013, and we will hopefully end up at Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium. The festival is three days long (Friday to Sunday), but we would only be going on one day (the Friday, 26th July). The festival is in Boom, and we would be staying in a hostel in Antwerp (near to the Grand Central Station). We are aware of the wealth of transport options available to get from Antwerp to Boom, and this shouldn't be a problem.

However, the return journey seems a bit more complicated. The concert will finish around 1:00am, so we are trying to look for ways to get back to our hostel in Antwerp, that leave Boom around 1:30/2am, as we know that public transport would have stopped by this time/doesn't run on the weekend. We have heard that in previous years, there was a shuttle bus to take people back to Antwerp after the concert, but we can't find any details of it. Has this been the case in previous years? If so, was it provided by Tomorrowland/was it free/does it have to be organised in advance if you want to use it? And is it likely that it will also run this year?

If this is not an option, we would also consider ordering a taxi. However, does anyone know if this is actually practical given the amount of people at Tomorrowland, and that someone could easily steal our taxi booking?

If you have any information on any of the above, please let us know.
Thanks, we really appreciate it!
