Ultra drops historic Phase 1 lineup for festival’s 25th anniversary celebration
Ultra Music Festival is gearing up to celebrate its 25th anniversary in historic fashion, returning to its long-time home of Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami from Friday, March 28 – Sunday, March 30, 2025. Ahead of this milestone event, Ultra has unveiled its impressive Phase 1 lineup – a momentous roster that further solidifies its legacy as the World’s Premier Electronic Music Festival.
As the preeminent curator of electronic music’s rare, ‘you-had-to-be-there’ moments,
Ultra kickstarted the Phase 1 lineup announcements last week by revealing plans to host the first-ever, world-exclusive Anyma b2b Solomun performance as a headlining set on the festival’s Main Stage. A revolutionary collaboration between Anyma’s cutting-edge audiovisual artistry, and Solomun’s renowned technical mastery, this landmark, global debut will combine mesmerizing visual installations, avant-garde sound engineering, and awe-inspiring stage design to create a futuristic, immersive experience for the ages.
Soon after announcing the historic Anyma b2b Solomun set, Ultra unveiled even more exciting Solomun news: the Croatian DJ will bring his Diynamic record label to the festival for the very first time, hosting an exclusive stage takeover at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. Diynamic’s debut Ultra Music Festival takeover will feature a solo headlining set from Solomun himself, as well as first-time festival performances from esteemed artists like English electronic experimentalism pioneer Four Tet, Dutch tech-house superstar Mau P and more.
Ultra’s 25th anniversary celebration wouldn’t be complete without its most iconic figure, Carl Cox, who will be debuting his brand-new Live Show in his headlining set at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. The legendary British DJ and producer has been a cornerstone of the festival since DJing at the event’s third edition back in 2001, shaping Ultra’s legacy with every performance. In 2005, Ultra broke ground by inviting Cox to curate his very own stage, which started as a modest tent dubbed ‘Carl Cox & Friends.’ Over the last two decades, that humble tent has evolved into the world-famous RESISTANCE MegaStructure, helping to solidify Ultra Music Festival as the premier tastemakers for not only stadium-smashing, Main Stage superstars, but also for underground house and techno masters.
Although Cox has curated numerous stage takeovers at Ultra over the years, the 2025 festival will see the beloved artist bring his globe-trotting ‘Carl Cox Invites’ brand to the event for the very first time. Taking over the RESISTANCE MegaStructure, ‘Carl Cox Invites’ revolves around Cox’s reputation for bringing together artists who are pushing the boundaries of electronic music, showcasing the underground’s most in-demand talents alongside emerging house and techno stars. Anchored by the debut of Carl Cox’s brand-new Live Show, the ‘Carl Cox Invites’ stage takeover will feature a plethora of live performances from house and techno heavyweights.
Ultra has spent the last two decades cementing its status as the vanguard of dance music’s never-before-seen, history-making performances, and the festival’s 25th anniversary celebration will raise the bar even higher. In addition to presenting the world’s first Anyma b2b Solomun set, Ultra 2025 will also host the first-ever, world-exclusive deadmau5 b2b Pendulum DJ set. Although deadmau5 and Pendulum have previously shared the Ultra stage – when deadmau5 joined Pendulum during their 2016 Main Stage set for a performance of ‘Ghosts ‘N’ Stuff’ (with Pendulum’s Rob Swire) – their upcoming b2b DJ set will mark the first full-scale collaborative performance between these two electronic music giants.
In addition to their debut b2b DJ set, both deadmau5 and Pendulum will also deliver headlining standalone performances that are equally as special. Multi-platinum electronic music producer deadmau5 will play the first-ever ‘retro5pective set,’ featuring a collection of his old-school catalog hits – no new material, just pure, iconic throwbacks. Meanwhile, Pendulum will present a live performance, their first at Ultra since 2022.
In another festival first, house music megastars Dom Dolla and John Summit will take to Ultra’s Main Stage with their joint project, Everything Always, marking the superduo’s debut Miami performance. Since launching this collaborative venture in 2023, Everything Always has quickly become one of electronic music’s most sought-after shows seamlessly blending their unique styles and musical visions into an immersive, high-octane affair.
Five-time GRAMMY Award-nominee Axwell is a seasoned presence on Ultra’s Main Stage, having headlined the festival multiple times as part of his Swedish House Mafia supergroup, as well as his collaborative Axwell Λ Ingrosso project. However, for the first time in the festival’s history, Ultra 2025 will feature Axwell performing his own solo headlining set on the Main Stage.
Legendary trance group Above & Beyond etched their name in Ultra history with a surprise headlining set at the festival’s 2018 edition, delivering one of the most captivating and euphoric performances of the weekend to close out the ASOT Stage. Now returning for the first time since that momentous occasion, Above & Beyond will deliver an exclusive performance for festival’s 25th anniversary.
Trance legend Armin van Buuren has been a mainstay at Ultra since his inaugural performance in 2005, and eighteen years later, he continues to push the boundaries of his artistry. During his headlining set on Ultra’s Main Stage earlier this year, the GRAMMY-nominated powerhouse delighted fans with a surprise appearance by American rockstar Jon Bon Jovi, premiering his unreleased remix of Bon Jovi’s 1992 classic single “Keep the Faith.” At Ultra 2025, Van Buuren will deliver yet another mesmeric Main Stage, headlining set, in addition to hosting a stage takeover from his global radio show A State of Trance – which will mark the 13th ASOT takeover in the festival’s history.
Following his stunning sunset performance at Ultra 2024, illustrious Dutch producer and DJ Hardwell will once again headline the Main Stage in 2025, building on the momentum from his set last March and his surprise closing performance in 2022. Known for blending his vintage sound with an updated big room techno style, the Revealed Recordings label boss continues to play a vital role in the Ultra Music Festival brand, both before and after his four-year hiatus from 2018 to 2022.
Ultra will also welcome back world-renowned superstar Martin Garrix, who made his Ultra debut in 2014 when he was only 17 years old and has headlined nearly every edition of the festival since then (with the exception of 2018).
Three-time GRAMMY Award-winner and multi-platinum artist Zedd will return to Ultra’s Main Stage after his electrifying 2023 performance, which included a surprise appearance by superstar rapper Ice Spice. Zedd’s upcoming Main Stage headlining set will mark his first Ultra performance since the release of his ‘Telos’ LP earlier this summer, his first album in nine years.
With this massive Phase 1 lineup announcement, Ultra will also welcome back a plethora of veteran headliners, including Swedish superstar Alesso, who last performed at Ultra 2023, GRAMMY-winning Dutch icon Tiësto, and Dutch international sensation Afrojack.
LSZEE, the collaborative project featuring bass masters CloZee and LSDREAM, will make its monumental Ultra debut at the 2025 festival, uniting their unique sonic landscapes for an unforgettable performance. Following LSDREAM’s solo set in 2022 and CloZee’s solo performance in 2023, this highly-anticipated collaboration promises to blend CloZee’s ethereal soundscapes with LSDREAM’s heavy-hitting bass, creating a transformative, galvanizing experience.
Ultra’s 25th anniversary installment will also usher in the highly-anticipated returns of two pioneering electronic music acts: Gesaffelstein and Nero. Gesaffelstein, known for his dark and atmospheric soundscapes, will grace the Ultra stage for the first time since 2014, bringing his electrifying energy and cutting-edge production to celebrate the festival’s milestone. Meanwhile, Nero, the GRAMMY award-winning trio celebrated for their fusion of dubstep and drum & bass, will perform at Ultra for the first time since 2016, promising an unforgettable experience for fans as they showcase their iconic hits and innovative new material.
Similarly, Ultra’s Phase 1 lineup announcement also includes festival veterans like iconic UK drum & bass duo Chase & Status, who are set to unveil their new live show following their explosive Ultra 2024 DJ set. Cyclops label-head Subtronics will also make his return, bringing his signature, bass-heavy arsenal after a powerful debut at the festival in 2023.
Ultra’s esteemed underground brand, RESISTANCE, will once again present a bevy of house and techno’s most in-demand acts across two stages: The Megastructure and The Cove.
Richie Hawtin is no stranger to the RESISTANCE MegaStructure, but the 2025 festival will mark the techno pioneer’s first live performance at Ultra, where he’ll present his revolutionary live show ‘DEX EFX X0X.’ Anchored within the immersive fluidity in digital manipulation that Hawtin’s DJ performances have become synonymous with, DEX EFX X0X builds upon the concepts of his ‘Decks, EFX & 909” series of compilation from 1995 – 2005, using all the performance tools available today. DEX EFX X0X demonstrates equally the early foundations and future of DJing, representing an exciting evolutionary step in Hawtin’s lifelong commitment to the development of the electronic music scene.
Heralded as the most international house and techno festival brand, RESISTANCE will feature headlining performances from leading underground acts, like Drumcode label boss Adam Beyer, as well as KNTXT ringleader Charlotte de Witte, who will return to the festival following her historic Main Stage debut at Ultra 2023. Joining them will be Boris Brejcha, the German ‘high-tech minimal’ specialist who made waves with his Ultra debut in 2022 by hosting his FCKNG SERIOUS record label’s first-ever showcase in America. Also featured will be Miss Monique, now a staple of the ULTRA Worldwide circuit, who captivated RESISTANCE audiences at the 2024 editions of ULTRA Europe, ULTRA Korea, ULTRA Japan and ULTRA Hong Kong. British techno producer Eli Brown will return to Ultra for his first-ever solo set, following his 2024 performance alongside Oliver Heldens’ techno alias HI-LO, while Ukrainian duo ARTBAT will once again fuel the RESISTANCE dance floor with their chart-topping records.
RESISTANCE will also present debut festival performances from beloved underground acts including 999999999, the Italian duo renowned for their influential role in the modern hard techno scene, and I Hate Models, the French producer who epitomizes the essence of contemporary industrial techno.
In addition to hosting stage takeovers from Carl Cox Invites, Diynamic, and ASOT, Ultra 2025 will proudly welcome preeminent hardstyle label Dirty Workz back to the UMF Radio Stage for the fourth consecutive year. After making history by hosting Ultra’s first-ever hardstyle stage at the 2022 festival, Dirty Workz will once again serve up a smattering of hardstyle, jumpstyle and happy hard beats. Continuing the festival’s endless commitment to touching all corners of the dance floor, Ultra 2025 will present the festival’s first-ever psytrance stage, curated by powerhouse psytrance duo Vini Vici’s Alteza Records.
Featuring an extensive array of world-class performers, with nods to the past, present, and future of electronic music, Ultra’s expertly-curated Phase 1 lineup is a tour-de-force of genre-crossing talent. From trailblazing global debuts, to the celebrated homecomings of festival favorites, the Phase 1 lineup aptly sets the tone for more show-stopping artist announcements to come.

New EDM Friday May 29 brings new music from Tiësto, Skrillex, David Guetta, Frank Walker, and more.
New EDM Friday May 29 brings together new singles, EPs, album releases, and records made for clubs and festival sets, covering house, bass, techno, and crossover electronic music. From Tiësto and Olivia Sebastianelli with Don’t Lose Your Head to David Guetta and Bebe Rexha with Sad Girls, Skrillex, Frank Walker, Blanke, and Wax Motif, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Tiësto ft. Olivia Sebastianelli – Don’t Lose Your Head
Tiësto teams up with Olivia Sebastianelli on Don’t Lose Your Head, a new single released through Musical Freedom on May 29. The track was first previewed during Tiësto’s EDC Las Vegas 2026 set at circuitGROUNDS, where it arrived as part of his continuing return to trance-rooted production. It also follows Bring Me To Life with FORS and Beautiful Places with Brieanna Grace, both linked to the rollout of his forthcoming album. With its EDC Las Vegas 2026 debut, vocal feature, and placement in Tiësto’s current album cycle, Don’t Lose Your Head gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its main headline releases.
David Guetta & Bebe Rexha – Sad Girls
David Guetta and Bebe Rexha reunite on Sad Girls, marking another release from one of the most commercially successful artist pairings in modern dance music. The collaboration follows previous records including I’m Good (Blue), One In A Million, Family, and David Guetta’s role in Bebe Rexha’s breakthrough hit Hey Mama. Released as part of the rollout for Bebe Rexha’s upcoming album Dirty Blonde, the track continues her recent move back toward dance-focused releases while bringing her together once again with one of the defining names of global EDM. With a partnership that has already produced multiple chart hits across the past decade, Sad Girls arrives as one of the biggest crossover releases on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Frank Walker – OASIS
Frank Walker releases his sophomore album OASIS through Palm Tree Records, the label founded by Kygo in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment. Across 12 tracks, the album brings together dance-pop production, songwriting-led collaborations, and a wider emotional focus around freedom, love, escape, and self-discovery. The project includes ARTY, Bryce Vine, VAVO, Josh Ross, Norma Jean Martine, TELYKAST, Steerner, Danielle Bradbery, Ryos, Good Humans, salem ilese, and more, with Remember Us featuring Dustin Lynch serving as the focus track. As his second full-length project, OASIS gives this week’s New EDM Friday a major album release from one of Canada’s leading dance-pop artists.
Blanke – SKYFIRE
Blanke continues the rollout toward his debut album with SKYFIRE, a two-track EP released as the second part of his ongoing album series. The project includes Arsenal and Beautiful Tragedy, with the first track pulling from Blanke’s earlier bass sound and the second moving closer to the melodic dance influences that first brought him into electronic music. The EP also comes during a busy year for Blanke, with direct support dates for REZZ, festival appearances at Ubbi Dubbi, Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge, and Rampage Open Air, alongside continued growth for his drum and bass alias ÆON:MODE. As a compact release tied to a larger album world, SKYFIRE adds a strong bass-focused entry to this week’s New EDM Friday.
MAYETRIX – HOLD ME CLOSE 2 U
MAYETRIX makes his bitbird debut with HOLD ME CLOSE 2 U, his first original release after building early traction through SoundCloud remixes and unofficial flips. The Australian producer, also known as Josh Sytema, has developed a sound connected to hypertrap, dubstep, and Y2K-influenced bass music, with one of his flips reaching Coachella 2026 before he had released an original track. HOLD ME CLOSE 2 U moves the project into a more personal space, pairing soft synths with distorted bass while centering on human connection and the difficulty of expressing appreciation for people close to you. As his first official release and first appearance on bitbird, the track gives this week’s New EDM Friday a strong debut entry from a new name in bass music.
Wax Motif – Bite Down
Wax Motif returns with Bite Down, a new Insomniac Records single arriving after the release of his sophomore album House of Wax II and his EDC Las Vegas 2026 performance. The track keeps his groove-focused house sound at the center, with darker basslines, vocal work, and club-focused drums tying it back to the style he has built across both underground and crossover releases. It also follows a major album cycle that included collaborators such as Ty Dolla $ign, ZHU, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jozzy, Maeta, MC Lan, 24hrs, and GTA. Coming after House of Wax II and early support at EDC Las Vegas 2026, Bite Down gives this week’s New EDM Friday a club-focused release from one of house music’s strongest cross-genre producers.
What So Not ft. Alina Pash – EVEREST
What So Not opens his next project era with EVEREST, the first single from his forthcoming EP I SAW A TRAP DJ AND IT CHANGED MY BIO CHEMISTRY. The track reunites him with Alina Pash after Tragic, their collaboration from What So Not and Buunshin’s 2025 EP The Quiet That Hurts, but this release pushes their partnership into a larger trap-focused sound tied to his early electronic roots. Alina Pash brings Ukrainian-language writing into the track, with What So Not describing the original studio session as the first time they created together in Los Angeles. As the first official release from his newly announced EP, EVEREST gives this week’s New EDM Friday a major trap and bass entry from one of Australia’s most influential electronic producers.
R3HAB – Lost in translation…
R3HAB continues the rollout toward his upcoming album with ‘Lost in translation…’, the sixth release tied to the project and another step in the producer’s evolving sound direction. Released through his own CYB3RPVNK label, the track leans into melodic dance production while continuing the balance between club-focused energy and crossover songwriting that has defined much of R3HAB’s recent catalog.

Ultra Europe 2026 Drops Phase 2 Lineup with Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, DJ Snake and more confirmed for Split this July
Ultra Europe 2026 has dropped its Phase 2 lineup, adding more names to its return to Split, Croatia from July 10 to 12, 2026 at Park Mladeži. Now heading into its 12th edition, the festival’s latest announcement brings in Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, DJ Snake, AFROJACK, and Subtronics, joining a Phase 1 lineup that already included Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, FISHER, John Summit, and Amelie Lens. The update gives the 2026 edition a much fuller look across the Ultra Main Stage and RESISTANCE, while keeping more names saved for the next announcement.

Phase 2 Adds Trance, Big-Room, Bass, Techno and House to Ultra Europe 2026
The Ultra Europe 2026 Phase 2 lineup strengthens both sides of the festival. The new additions bring more mainstage names into the July weekend, while RESISTANCE also gets a heavier presence through techno and house bookings. With Phase 1 already led by names such as Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, FISHER, John Summit, and Amelie Lens, this second announcement gives the 2026 edition a fuller lineup across its main festival stages.
Phase 2 additions:
- Adam Beyer
- AFROJACK
- Armin van Buuren
- CamelPhat
- DJ Snake
- Hardwell
- Jamie Jones
- Nico Moreno
- Oliver Heldens
- Subtronics
- HALO
- Maddix
Subtronics Stands Out Among Returning Ultra Europe Regulars
While several Phase 2 additions are familiar names for Ultra Europe, Subtronics still gives the 2026 announcement one of its more interesting talking points. He played Ultra Europe 2024, appearing on the same day as AFROJACK and DJ Snake, so his 2026 booking is not a debut. What makes it worth noting is the context around the booking. Ultra Europe has long been associated with mainstage EDM, house, techno, and its RESISTANCE programming, while large-scale bass bookings have not been as constant in the festival’s Croatia lineup. Bringing Subtronics back after 2024 keeps that part of the lineup visible and gives the July weekend a different pull next to the festival’s more established returning names.
For many of the other additions, Ultra Europe 2026 reads as a return to artists with a longer history in Split. Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, AFROJACK, and DJ Snake have all appeared at past editions, while Adam Beyer, CamelPhat, Jamie Jones, and Oliver Heldens have also been part of previous Ultra Europe lineups in recent years. That matters because Phase 2 is not relying only on newness. It brings back names already tied to the festival’s mainstage and RESISTANCE identity, then places Subtronics inside that structure as one of the less typical bookings for the Croatia edition. For a lineup that already had Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, FISHER, John Summit, and Amelie Lens in Phase 1, this second announcement makes the 2026 edition feel more complete without giving away the full final lineup yet.
Ultra Europe 2026 Still Has More Names To Come Before July
With Phase 2 now out, Ultra Europe 2026 has a much clearer outline, but the lineup is still not complete. The festival has already confirmed a strong mix of mainstage names, RESISTANCE artists, and newer additions across the first two announcements, while the poster also confirms that Phase 3 is still on the way. That next update will likely help fill out the remaining stage programming, daily structure, and support acts as the festival moves closer to its July return to Split.
For now, the 2026 edition already has enough confirmed names to show how Ultra Europe is building its 12th edition. Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, DJ Snake, Amelie Lens, Sara Landry, Adam Beyer, FISHER, John Summit, and Subtronics give the lineup both familiar Ultra names and bookings that widen the festival’s appeal. More artists are still expected to be announced before Ultra Europe 2026 takes over Park Mladeži from July 10 to 12, with tickets and updates available through the festival’s official channels.

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.
