Even though Rolling Loud is out, Pattaya is set to make even more noise with the arrival of Tomorrowland. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that the world-famous electronic music extravaganza will take place in December 2026 at Wisdom Valley. But it’s not just about the music and spectacle, as authorities are now preparing the location and infrastructure to ready the area for this monumental event.

According to a recent session held by Bang Lamung district officials, the EDM showcase is expected to attract over 50,000 ravers a day. Such an influx could generate an economic impact exceeding B5 billion, firmly placing Chon Buri on the global music tourism map.

With that scale of turnout, the discussion also focused on upgrading the venue and surrounding infrastructure. The municipality has already mapped out crowd control, transport routes and safety operations to ensure the experience runs as smoothly as the festival’s legendary light shows. If all goes well, Tomorrowland could become a regular fixture in Thailand’s annual calendar.

The officials' meeting also touched on community uplift projects, including the Chon Buri Provincial Red Cross housing initiative, which will support low-income families with new homes (worth up to B200,000 each) or major repairs (up to B100,000 per unit) in 2026.

For a locale that already knows how to throw a good party, Tomorrowland’s debut could redefine Pattaya’s identity, turning it into a global capital of sound, lights and energy.
