People bought a three-day festival without a single name on the poster, and it sold out inside an hour. That's Tomorrowland's brand in one sentence.

The festival's first full edition in Asia runs 11 to 13 December 2026 at Wisdom Valley near Pattaya, in Thailand's Chonburi province. Around 150,000 passes, roughly 50,000 a day, went on sale on 7 March and were gone almost immediately, according to DJ Mag. Hotel packages and travel bundles went the same way.

Who's playing

The lineup came months later: more than 100 artists across seven stages. Martin Garrix and Swedish House Mafia headline, both making their Thailand debuts. Afrojack, Alan Walker, Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Lost Frequencies, R3HAB and Yellow Claw are on the bill too.

More than 20 Thai artists are booked as well, including Nakadia, widely credited as the first Asian DJ to break into the global techno circuit. The theme is Consciencia, the same story running through Tomorrowland's 2026–27 editions.

The money

Thailand's tourism and sports minister said about 85% of buyers are international visitors. The government expects around 6 billion baht in economic activity each year. Thailand has signed on to host the festival every year through 2030.

For reference, the three-day Full Madness pass was priced at 12,500 baht at launch. Packages above 150,000 baht also sold, the minister said.

What to know if you didn't get one

There's no camping. Everyone stays in Pattaya-area hotels and shuttles in. Passes are tied to Tomorrowland accounts and delivered as personalised bracelets, which is why "spare tickets" offered on Instagram deserve maximum suspicion. Use only Tomorrowland's own channels and any resale route it announces.
