Tomorrowland, the renowned EDM festival, will host its first full-scale Asian edition in Pattaya, Thailand, from December 11-13. Organizers anticipate over 50,000 attendees daily, with ticket pre-registration starting January 8. A three-day pass will cost 12,500 baht ($400), and a single-day pass will cost 5,100 baht. While Tomorrowland has held smaller events in Asia, this marks its first complete festival in the continent, similar to its Belgian edition. Thailand was selected due to its growing influence in music and tourism. The Thai government expects the five-year agreement to generate 21 billion baht ($673 million). This expansion signifies Tomorrowland's commitment to a long-term presence in Asia, building on Thailand's growing prominence in the live music scene.
