Thailand is set to make history by being the first Asian country to host the Tomorrowland music festival. Taking place in Chonburi province, Thailand, at the end of 2026, this event marks the beginning of a five-year agreement between the Kingdom of Thailand, and Tomorrowland.
What Is Tomorrowland?
Tomorrowland is among the most famous
electronic dance music (EDM) festivals in the world, originating from Belgium. Tomorrowland is known for its elaborate stages, world-class DJs, and excellent atmosphere, and this is the reason people come from around the world to attend it. The
national festival in Thailand in 2026 will be the first full-scale festival in Asia, so it will be a further unique experience for everyone that decides to attend both internationally and domestically.
Event Details

Government Support and Economic Impact
The Thai government has approved a budget of
2 billion baht (about $62 million) to fund the festival for five years. Of the 2 billion baht, for the first year, it will receive 400 million baht from the central fund. Each of the next four years will include another 400 million baht allocated to the festival. This investment should generate more than 12 billion baht in economic activity and over a million visitors over five years.
