Tomorrowland, the most recognized electronic dance music festival in the world, is making its way to Asia for the first time. According to a statement from the Thai government, Tomorrowland will take place in Thailand in 2026; a significant accomplishment for the worldwide EDM community and for the music scene in Asia. This announcement comes after a momentous meeting on June 25th, 2025, at Government House, when Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra met with Tomorrowland’s CEO Bruno Vanwelsenaers and executives to wrap up the plans for this event.
Why Thailand?
Thailand has the ideal combination of dynamic nightlife, dependable tourism infrastructure, and an emerging reputation as a cultural center. Cities such as Bangkok and coastal areas such as Phuket and Pattaya are already destinations for major music events. Tomorrowland will complement Thailand’s ambition to develop its creative economy, but also ensure the country is recognized globally in music, art, and culture.
Location and Venue Details
There are no official dates yet. However, the festival will take place in Chon Buri province, right near the capital city of Bangkok. Chon Buri has a lot of massive open areas, as well as solid infrastructure and access to international airports. This factor makes it an ideal region for an event of the size of Tomorrowland. The Thai edition will probably follow the Belgium model, designating two weekends in July. Tomorrowland in Thailand may draw in hundreds of thousands of attendees.
Cultural Fusion and Thai Identity
One of the most exciting things about Tomorrowland Thailand will be the inclusion of Thai culture and art into the heart of the festival. According to Prime Minister Paetongtarn, every aspect and experience at the festival must include Thai people and Thai identity whenever possible. The festival will include traditional art and exhibition architecture, food, performances and so on, blending the local cultural heritage and identity with Tomorrowland’s global presentation and art. This kind of cultural integration is part of Thailand’s intention to use creative industries and “soft power” to enhance economic opportunities, boost tourism and strengthen its position globally.
What Fans Can Expect
Tomorrowland Thailand will deliver the same over-the-top experience fans have expected from the original Belgian festival. Electronic music fans can expect huge fantasy-themed stages, high-quality electronic artists as line-up, high-tech audio-visual presentation technology and storytelling that fully immerses fans within the on-site environment. Attendees can expect multiple artists from global electronic music and local artists providing music, bringing together both international sounds and local sounds that are representative of the country. Even though ticketing and registration system information hasn’t gone live yet, fans can check back to the Tomorrowland official website as well as verified local channels for the latest updates on tickets and registration process.

Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most important cultural and music events ever held in Southeast Asia. It blends world-class festival production with a rich Thai identity, making it far more than just a party – it’s a moment of global connection. Whether you’re a Tomorrowland veteran or someone who’s been dreaming of your first experience, this edition promises to be unforgettable.
