Groove Cruise Announces Massive 2022 Event!
The world’s largest floating electronic music festival launches from the Space Coast, aka Port Canaveral, FL aboard Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas to Labadee’s Private Paradise with 96-hours of non-stop dance music across nine stages, Artist-led Activities, celebrities, and unrivaled onboard experiences like the FlowRider Surf Simulator, Perfect Storm Water Park, and the Whet Oasis Zen Experience, plus luxury dining and VIP exclusives.
Whet Travel pivoted in 2020 and produced some very successful virtual festivals. With over 9 million minutes watched, the company raised over $50,000 for those facing hardships due to COVID-19. Returning to their renowned oceanic events, the world’s premier electronic music cruise is blasting off from the real world in the most galactic-fashion in their 18-year history. Sailing from January 20th – 24th 2022, Groove Cruise Orlando launches from Port Canaveral in Florida, aka The Space Coast, and offers a once in a lifetime opportunity of escapist heaven featuring high seas luxury, around the clock entertainment, and world-class dining all in a safe environment on-board the Mariner of The Seas with $120 million in amplified upgrades. Dropping anchor in Labadee, the private paradise party experience will be brand new and completely exclusive to the #GCFAM, or the Groove Cruise Family. This Caribbean getaway features Dragon’s Breath Flight Line aka the world’s longest zip line over water at 500 feet up, the Dragon’s Tail Roller Coaster, and relaxing private cabanas to mention a few.
Although the cruise is over a year away and things should be well back to ‘normal’, in lieu of easing concerns of a potential postponement or cancelation, Whet Travel has created a Cruise with Confidence and Best Price Guarantee to protect those who book. ‘Cancel for Any Reason’ Travel insurance is also available (for most states) for additional protection.
Groove Cruise has played host to some of the industry’s top DJ/producers, including past headliners Kaskade, Above & Beyond, Dash Berlin, Benny Benassi, Deadmau5, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Jamie Jones, MK, KSHMR, Hot Since 82, Green Velvet, and many more. The Groove Cruise community is accustomed to going out of this world with their eight costume theme parties as they moonwalk across nine dancefloors. The outrageous themes for Orlando will include Area 69, Fire and Ice, ‘80s Prom, and more. Alongside this, Groove Cruise is fondly known as the love boat and is known for having over 100 free weddings, engagements, bachelor and bachelorette parties.
“People used to want to go on GC, but once you have been it almost becomes a need. We need to feel the love and community and excitement that is missing from our lives. We’ve never seen so much negativity and low vibration in our lifetime than 2020 that is now spilling into 2021. This isn’t about GC anymore it’s about the community of people. The GCFAM are the most positive uplifting and hilarious group of people I’ve ever met and we will blast off together and get through this and sail again. Only this time it will be to a stunning new island destination on a ship bigger than we’ve ever sailed on in 18 years,” says Jason Beukema, the CEO and Founder of Whet Travel, Groove Cruise, and the Whet Foundation, “This is a huge risk especially with everything that is going on right now. Most people would say we are insane to relaunch a cruise right now. It reminds me back to the first GC charter in 2009 when there was absolutely no chance of failure. I would not succumb to the fear and take less risk and I won’t know. I trusted my intuition and let my heart and soul guide me and it’s never led me wrong. And the GCFAM deserves it. This cruise in 2022 is going to be our best and most impactful yet and I have zero doubts about that. Why? I believe in our mission. I believe in myself. I believe in our team. I believe in the cruise industry. I believe in Royal Caribbean. I believe in the GCFAM <3”. ️
The Mariner of The Seas is one of the most innovative ships in the cruise industry. It is operated by Royal Caribbean, which has won Best Cruise Line In The Caribbean and Best Cruise Line Overall in the Travel Weekly Reader’ Choice Awards for an unbelievable 17 consecutive years.

Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Confirmed Artists So Far include Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, and more
As we gear up for the historic debut of Tomorrowland Thailand from December 11 to 13, 2026, the first confirmed artists are already setting the frame for one of Asia’s most closely watched festival debuts. Ahead of the complete lineup announcement, Tomorrowland has shared an early group of confirmed names for the Thailand edition, including Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Lost Frequencies, NERVO, and Dimitri Vegas. Unlike the usual Tomorrowland lineup reveal, where the full artist list is released alongside stage hosts and wider festival details, the Thailand confirmations have been shared through separate official moments. Axwell mentioned the Swedish House Mafia appearance during a One World Radio interview, while other names were introduced through Tomorrowland and Tomorrowland Thailand posts, giving the debut edition a more gradual artist reveal before the full lineup is published.
Swedish House Mafia Are Set For Their First Thailand Show As A Trio
Among the first Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 confirmed artists, Swedish House Mafia carries the clearest headline value because the December booking would bring Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello to Thailand together under the Swedish House Mafia name for the first time. All three members have played in the country across separate appearances, and Axwell Λ Ingrosso previously performed in Thailand as a duo, but the trio has never performed here together as Swedish House Mafia. That gives the confirmation more local context for Thai audiences who have followed the members’ individual and duo appearances over the years. The confirmation came through a conversational exchange on One World Radio, when the host asked Axwell where the group was going next in the Tomorrowland world. Axwell first pointed to Asia, then narrowed it down to Thailand, saying, “I think it might be somewhere in the Asian regions. Uh more like Thailand actually,” before adding, “We’re going to be there in December.” When the host asked if that meant Tomorrowland Thailand, Axwell replied, “Yeah. Yeah. That’s the thing.” The host then repeated the point back for clarity, saying Swedish House Mafia’s next stop in the Tomorrowland world would be Tomorrowland Thailand, with Axwell later adding that he had seen Wisdom Valley, loves going to Thailand, loves Tomorrowland, and said, “So let’s mix the two.”

NERVO Announced Their Tomorrowland Thailand Set On The Tomorrowland Winter MainStage
NERVO were one of the first names confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026, with the announcement made during their Tomorrowland Winter MainStage set instead of through a standard lineup graphic. Mim Nervo set up the reveal by telling the crowd that “there’s something new happening” before she and Liv Nervo turned around to show the message printed across their shirts: “She Is Playing At Tomorrowland Thailand.” The moment was later shared by Tomorrowland Thailand as the first artist reveal for the 2026 line-up, placing NERVO in the earliest group of artists confirmed for the festival’s debut edition from December 11 to 13, 2026. Their booking also connects the Thailand launch to Tomorrowland’s wider history, since NERVO have been regular names across the festival’s stages over the years and were part of The Way We See The World, the 2011 Tomorrowland anthem with Afrojack and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Were Confirmed After A Tomorrowland Winter Stage Moment
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike were confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 after another Tomorrowland Winter stage reveal, this time during Dimitri Vegas’ set. Although Dimitri Vegas was the one performing in the clip, the announcement pointed to the duo’s Thailand booking, with the message “See You In Thailand” appearing near the decks as he gestured toward it. The follow-up post from Tomorrowland Thailand then confirmed Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike for the 2026 edition, placing them among the first names announced for the festival’s debut in December. Their place on the early list makes sense given how closely they are tied to Tomorrowland, where they have been staple MainStage names for years and have helped carry the festival’s big-room identity across multiple editions. The next detail to watch is whether Smash The House will also appear in the stage host program when Tomorrowland Thailand releases the complete lineup and stage host details.

Lost Frequencies Was Confirmed Through A Tomorrowland Winter Travel Guide Reveal
Lost Frequencies was confirmed as one of the first Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 confirmed artists through a Tomorrowland Winter reveal centered on a Thailand travel guide. The moment pointed directly to the Belgian artist’s next Tomorrowland destination, with the later Tomorrowland Thailand post confirming that he will perform at the festival’s debut edition from December 11 to 13, 2026. His place in the early artist list carries a strong connection to the festival’s Belgian roots, as Lost Frequencies has become one of the country’s most internationally recognized electronic acts while remaining a regular name across Tomorrowland over the years. His previous Tomorrowland Belgium MainStage sets have often brought out the more melodic, vocal-led side of the festival, from crossover records to singalong moments that translate well beyond the EDM core. For Tomorrowland Thailand, that history gives his booking a familiar link to the main festival in Boom, and it leaves a lot of anticipation around how that same Lost Frequencies magic will translate to Wisdom Valley in December.

Afrojack Was Confirmed Through A Tomorrowland Thailand Studio Intro Reveal
Afrojack was confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 through a studio-based reveal, marking a different type of announcement from the earlier Tomorrowland Winter moments. In the clip, the Dutch producer was shown working on an intro before the camera revealed the project name saved as Tomorrowland Thailand intro v1, turning the studio session into the confirmation. His place among the first Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 confirmed artists fits closely with the festival’s history, as Afrojack has been a staple name at Tomorrowland for years and remains one of the most recognizable Dutch artists connected to its MainStage sound. The confirmation also links back to several early names already announced for Thailand, including NERVO and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, with all three connected through The Way We See The World, the 2011 Tomorrowland theme. For the Thailand debut, Afrojack’s reveal adds another long-running Tomorrowland figure to the list while raising interest around whether the intro he was working on will be used for his own set or for a wider festival moment in December.

Martin Garrix Was Confirmed Through A Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Reveal
Martin Garrix was one of the next major names confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026, with his announcement moving the rollout from Tomorrowland Winter moments to Bangkok itself. The reveal showed Martin Garrix inside a tuk-tuk in Bangkok, with the Tomorrowland Reflection of Love stage visible on his shirt, tying the announcement directly to Thailand and to one of Tomorrowland’s most recognizable stage concepts. His confirmation gives the debut edition another artist closely connected to Tomorrowland’s modern MainStage history, from repeated appearances in Boom to festival moments that have made tracks like High On Life, Pizza, and Scared To Be Lonely part of the wider Tomorrowland catalog for many listeners. For Tomorrowland Thailand, his Bangkok reveal also feels like the strongest local visual so far, because it places the announcement inside the city instead of using a clue from another festival setting.

Alok Was Confirmed Through A Hotel-Room Teaser Featuring Pad Krapow
Alok was confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 through a hotel-room teaser that used a Thai food order as the reveal setup. In the clip, he is seen making music in his hotel room before ordering pad krapow, with the order leading to the Tomorrowland Thailand confirmation. The reveal placed Alok among the early names announced for the festival’s December 2026 debut, following the same artist-by-artist rollout that has already introduced names through stage moments, visual clues, and Thailand-specific teasers. His early confirmation also fits Tomorrowland’s wider lineup direction, since Alok has played major Tomorrowland editions before and remains one of Brazil’s most recognizable electronic artists on the global festival circuit. The next detail to watch is where Alok will be placed once Tomorrowland Thailand releases the full stage breakdown and stage host details.

What To Watch For Next In The Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Lineup
With the first Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 confirmed artists now revealed, the next major piece is how the full lineup will be arranged across the festival’s stage structure. Tomorrowland Thailand has already confirmed six stages for its debut edition, including the Mainstage, CORE, and Freedom, while the remaining stages have not been announced yet. That makes the next update important because it should show whether Thailand follows a familiar Tomorrowland structure with major MainStage names, label-linked stage hosts, and deeper programming across CORE and Freedom, or whether the debut edition introduces more Thailand-specific stage concepts alongside the global festival brands.
That also opens the door for more speculation around frequent Tomorrowland artists without treating anyone as confirmed. Names like Armin van Buuren, Alesso, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Timmy Trumpet, Don Diablo, Meduza, MORTEN, Tale Of Us, Anyma, Adriatique, Agents Of Time, Solomun, and Keinemusik are the kinds of acts people will naturally watch for because they have appeared across major Tomorrowland editions or fit the confirmed stage worlds of Mainstage, Freedom, and CORE. For now, the early announcements show that Tomorrowland Thailand is starting with artists strongly connected to the festival’s history, but the full lineup and stage host reveal will be where the December debut at Wisdom Valley becomes much easier to understand.

Sporty-O is once again breaking down the barriers between genres with the release of his thumping new EP ‘Symphonic Resistance.’
His music has been going viral with it being featured in over half a million videos on TikTok and amassing over a billion views through those videos. After releasing the amazing ‘Blue Lights’ to tease what was to come, he’s now unveiled the full force of ‘Symphonic Resistance.’
The EP kicks off strong with Sporty-O injecting his mix of hip hop and EDM into possibly the world’s most powerful chant, the haka. The track has a very tribal feel from the chant and the fantastic percussion, topped off with some super heavy synths. ‘Bumble Bee’ keeps the powerful synths coming and takes on a style reminiscent of some classic DJ Snake which is always a welcome sound to hear. Kicking on into track 3, ‘You A B***h’, Sporty-O really lets loose with a drop that hits like a train thanks to his excellent use of dynamics. Rounding off the EP is ‘Blue Lights’ which offers a shift in energy with a slightly calmer feel that still pumps out tonnes of dancefloor energy.
Sporty-O’s past productions have wracked up plenty of accolades for him with his tracks getting support from the likes of Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, and many more. Also, his discography has ventured across several major labels including Virgin Music, Jungle Cakes, and Zone Records. All this success has earned him spots on some of the biggest stages in the world from Tomorrowland to Ultra Music Festival. It’s a repertoire that is truly mind-blowing and is one that is sure to continue expanding with the release of ‘Symphonic Resistance.’
Sporty-O said of the EP: “Symphonic Resistance is a musical celebration of melodies, harmonies and concepts that effortlessly & colourfully dance outside of the norm while encouraging the listener to embrace creative & artistic freedom in every aspect of life — because you only live once. Why live that life like everybody else!”
Sporty-O takes inspiration from all the right places on this EP with a sound similar to that of the legendary Jauz. However, the EP is no mere replica of others work as Sporty-O’s unique style shines through, and he continues to impress with his production skills.
