So remember last year when whispers started flying around about Tomorrowland possibly coming to Thailand? Turns out those rumours were bang on the money. The world's biggest EDM festival has just confirmed it's actually happening.
Tomorrowland Thailand is officially set for December 11-13, marking the first time the legendary Belgian festival has properly landed in Asia. And when we say properly, we mean it. This isn't some scaled down version either.
The festival has chosen Wisdom Valley in Pattaya, Chonburi as its new home. The sprawling 960,000 square metre site will host several massive stages, including the iconic CORE and Freedom stages making their Asian debut. There'll also be brand new stages and experiences created specifically for Thailand. Organisers are expecting over 50,000 people each day across the three day event.
Getting Tomorrowland to Thailand wasn't just a case of picking a nice spot and hoping for the best. The festival has partnered with the Thai Government and Tourism Authority of Thailand to make this happen. Thailand beat out several other Asian countries to host the festival, which says quite a bit about where the country sits on the global entertainment map right now. Said the Tourism Authority of Thailand,
“Hosting Tomorrowland in Thailand marks an important milestone in our ambition to position the country as a leader in global tourism and creative experiences. We look forward to welcoming people from all over the world to discover the beauty, culture and hospitality of Thailand.”
One thing that won't be making the trip is DreamVille camping, but there'll be plenty of accommodation options with shuttle services available. Hotel packages go on sale February 28 at 4pm, followed by the worldwide ticket sale on March 7 at 4pm. You'll be able to grab four different passes including Full Madness and Full Madness Comfort for all three days, or single day passes if you're not up for the full marathon. Said Bruno Vanwelsenaers, CEO of WEAREONE.world,
“Expanding Tomorrowland to a new continent is a milestone we approach with great respect and excitement. Thailand feels like the right place, not only because of its beauty and energy, but also because of the shared ambition to create something meaningful and world-class together,”
With festivals already running in Europe and South America, Tomorrowland Thailand marks the next chapter in the festival's global expansion. If you've been waiting for this since those first rumours dropped, it’s almost time to start making it a reality.
