The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) confirms that Chonburi will host the legendary Belgian-born music festival when it makes its full-scale Asian debut in December 2026 – the perfect time for an outdoor celebration with cooler weather. That’s right: three full days of music, fantasy stages and EDM madness by the sea.
Chonburi, home to previous large-scale events like Rolling Loud Thailand, was handpicked for its capacity, convenient access and track record of hosting successful international music festivals. Located just a short drive from Bangkok, the province is well-connected via major highways and airports including U-Tapao International Airport and both Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang which make it easy for partygoers flying in from around the world.
The event site itself sits close to the coast with the area privately owned and currently under preparation for the mega-scale production. Surrounding communities and hotels are expected to have a substantial impact in accommodating the tens of thousands expected tourists to attend.
TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool shares that the partnership with Tomorrowland spans five years and the economic impact is expected to reach the billions of baht. She also reveals plans to bring not just the main event, but also Tomorrowland’s Event Academy model to Thailand – similar to what exists in Belgium.
‘This is more than just a festival,’ said Thapanee. ‘It’s an immersive experience that will elevate Thailand’s global reputation in music tourism.’
Get ready, world. The countdown to Tomorrowland 2026 starts now.
