IMPACT Exhibition hall

Set inside Impact Exhibition Hall, it’s pitched as the biggest EDM gathering on the continent, a claim the organisers substantiate with Calvin Harris at the top of the bill. The festival’s reputation precedes it – Creamfields has long been one of the names that define electronic culture, cited by DJ Mag and whispered like gospel in dance circles. Indoors means no sudden storms, just total control: lights choreographed to the millisecond, bass designed to rattle bones, stages engineered to disorient. More than 50,000 are expected to descend, a temporary city of fans who treat dance music less as pastime than as communal religion. Line-up includes: Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Steve Angello, Andy C, Hybrid Minds, Eli & Fur, Pendulum DJ Set and more names to be announced. IMPACT Exhibition Hall 5-10. December 13-14. Starts at B7,800.

Doja Cat is coming to Thailand for the very first time, and the timing couldn’t feel more festive. The Grammy-winning superstar has revealed her Ma Vie World Tour, bringing her genre-blurring sound and theatrical energy to stages across New Zealand, Australia and several spots in Asia. For Thai fans, it promises an evening where pop, rap and R&B collide with a performance style that has made her one of the most talked-about names in music right now. Expect bold visuals, choreographed spectacle and moments that will have the crowd moving from the first beat to the last. It’s a chance to see her world on a stage that, until now, has only been imagined, and to ring out the year with a show that feels impossibly vibrant and very much worth the wait. December 18. B2,800-12,600 via here. Impact Exhibition Hall 5-6, Muangthong Thani, 7pm
