Anyma is bringing ÆDEN to Bangkok on December 5, expanding his world tour further across Asia

Anyma is bringing his ÆDEN world tour in collaboration with Neon Events to Bangkok on December 5, marking another major Asian stop for the audiovisual production. Anyma first introduced ÆDEN at Coachella earlier this year. The show opens a new chapter in his live concept through original music, large-scale digital visuals and a story exploring technology and human consciousness. Fans in Thailand will now get their first chance to experience the full production.

What Is Anyma’s ÆDEN Show?

ÆDEN is the latest audiovisual project from Anyma and continues his combination of electronic music, digital art and technology. The production follows the Genesys era with new music and a completely new visual narrative. It also expands the world Anyma has developed across his releases and live shows over the past several years.

At the centre of ÆDEN is a story exploring humanity’s relationship with artificial intelligence, digital consciousness and existence beyond the physical world. The concept draws inspiration from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Throughout the show, recurring characters, futuristic environments and large-scale visual sequences connect those ideas with the music. This gives the visual story a wider purpose beyond individual sequences.

ÆDEN now forms the foundation of Anyma’s 2026 world tour. After Coachella, he took the production to major international dates across Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the Americas. The upcoming Bangkok show now brings that full audiovisual production to Thailand for the first time.

Who Has Joined Anyma on the ÆDEN Tour?

The ÆDEN tour has featured a rotating group of supporting artists, with each city bringing a different lineup around Anyma’s headline show. In Shanghai, the lineup included Prospa, Ben Böhmer, Kölsch, Kasia and Stylo. The London dates featured Kevin de Vries, Chris Avantgarde, Layla Benitez, Mind Against, Woo York, 8Kays and Kasia. Sydney will also feature Argy, Colyn, Layla Benitez and PARIS. Together, those lineups show the tour’s continued focus on melodic house, melodic techno and related styles.

Bangkok has not revealed its supporting lineup yet, which leaves room for another interesting possibility. LISA, one of Thailand’s biggest global music stars, collaborated with Anyma on Bad Angel. Her character Beatrix also became part of the wider ÆDEN story. Bangkok is her home city, so a surprise appearance would carry particular significance for the local crowd. Anyma has not confirmed any guest appearance, but their existing ÆDEN connection makes the idea especially interesting for the December 5 show.

Anyma presents ÆDEN will take place at MCOT Land in Bangkok on Saturday, December 5, 2026. Organizers will announce more artists in the coming weeks. Presale begins on Friday, October 2 at 5:00 PM ICT. General ticket sales follow at 7:00 PM ICT through Anyma’s official website.

The full lineup will come later, leaving more to be revealed before ÆDEN comes toThailand in December. For now, fans can secure tickets for Bangkok’s first ÆDEN show and see who joins Anyma for the event.

Anyma responds after Istanbul show cancellation over alleged satanic imagery as ÆDEN artist claims AI-manipulated visuals fueled controversy

Anyma has responded after his ÆDEN show in Istanbul, Turkey, was cancelled following accusations surrounding imagery used in his audiovisual performances. The decision came after a social media campaign called for the event to be stopped over alleged “satanic” elements, while Anyma has since rejected those interpretations and claimed that some of the material circulated online had been manipulated using AI.

Anyma’s Istanbul Show Cancelled Following Online Campaign

The ÆDEN show was scheduled for September 12 at Ataköy Marina Arena as part of Anyma’s 2026 ÆDEN Global Tour. Ahead of the event, clips and images taken from his previous performances circulated across Turkish social media, with some accounts claiming that elements of the visuals represented “satanic rituals” or symbols and calling for the Istanbul date to be cancelled.

The Istanbul Governor’s Office later withdrew permission for the show. No formal explanation was initially published by the authority, but Emin Gökçegözoğlu, Provincial Press and Public Relations Director for the Istanbul Governor’s Office, confirmed to Turkish fact-checking organisation Teyit that the cancellation was connected to alleged “satanic elements.”

Promoter Only You Live officially confirmed the cancellation on September 4, with refunds through Passo beginning on September 7. The decision brought the Istanbul stop to an end less than two weeks before Anyma was due to perform.

Anyma Responds To Claims And Alleges AI Manipulation

On September 6, Anyma, the project of Matteo Milleri, issued a lengthy response through Instagram Stories. He described ÆDEN as a science-fiction story dealing with darkness and light, destruction and creation, fear and hope, arguing that individual scenes from the production had been presented without the context of the full story.

He also rejected the religious meaning being attributed to the visuals, explaining that the production draws references from art history, mythology and ancient literature, but does not directly depict religious figures or intend to disrespect any religion or culture.

Anyma then addressed the material being circulated online, alleging that selected darker scenes had been taken from the show, manipulated using AI, combined with different music and shared in a way that created what he described as a false interpretation of the project. He also stressed that his original visuals were not AI-generated, saying the technology had instead been used by others to alter his work.

The artist also criticised the process leading to the cancellation, stating that neither he, his team nor Only You Live received a meaningful warning or an opportunity to explain the production before permission was withdrawn. Anyma confirmed that he intends to appeal the decision and remains open to speaking with local authorities, while expressing hope that ÆDEN can eventually be presented in Istanbul.

EDM Events Held At The World’s Most Historic Sites, from the Great Wall and Petra to Versailles and the Pyramids

EDM events held at historic sites have become one of the more interesting ways major artists and promoters are taking electronic music beyond standard clubs, arenas, and festival grounds. The strongest examples are not just famous locations with a stage placed nearby, but performances where the site matters to how the event is filmed, produced, and remembered. Anyma and Tiësto have brought major electronic productions to the Pyramids of Giza, Bedouin performed for Cercle at Petra, Nina Kraviz played a sunrise set on the Great Wall of China, and Adriatique filmed a Cercle set at Hatshepsut Temple in Luxor. The same idea also appears through POSITIV Electronic Festival at the Roman Theatre of Orange, Charlotte de Witte at Ancient Messene, and Nifra at Masada Fortress, where historic architecture, ancient ruins, desert landscapes, and protected heritage sites become part of how each performance is experienced. These events show why historic locations are becoming a serious part of electronic music’s destination-event culture, especially when the artist, production, and setting all make sense together.

The Great Pyramids of Giza have become one of the clearest examples of how far large-scale electronic shows can go when the location is part of the story. Anyma presents Quantum Genesys took place at the pyramids on October 10, 2025, with the night split between his Quantum DJ set and The End Of Genesys audiovisual show across two stages. The production leaned into the contrast between the ancient site and Anyma’s digital world, using large visuals, lighting, and a long nighttime format that ran from 5 PM to 3 AM near the Giza Plateau. Tiësto at the Pyramids of Giza followed on December 19, 2025, with a PRISMATIC set that brought another major electronic name into the same setting, adding to Giza’s recent place in destination EDM events.

Petra, Jordan

Events:
Bedouin at Petra for Cercle

Medaina Festival

Petra is one of the most recognizable historic sites connected to electronic music through Bedouin at Petra for Cercle, filmed at Al-Khazneh, the Treasury, in 2022. The set was not a public festival, but a controlled early-morning performance with no crowd, placing Bedouin’s hybrid live sound directly in front of the sandstone monument. That format worked differently from a standard stage show because the production did not need a large audience setup to make the location central to the performance. In 2025, Medaina Festival gave Jordan a wider electronic music moment across Petra and Wadi Rum, with a lineup that included Âme, Bedouin, HVOB, Jimi Jules, Mind Against, Patrice Bäumel, and Sonja Moonear. With Petra already listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the location adds one of the article’s strongest examples of electronic music being presented in direct connection with an ancient landmark, while Medaina Festival extends that connection into a broader destination event across Jordan’s desert and heritage settings.

Masada Fortress, Israel

Event:
Nifra Live at Masada Fortress

@nifraofficial Do you know this track? ❤️ My new live set recorded at Masada Fortress is now on youtube #nifra #trance #trancefamily #trancefamily #trancemusic #tranceclassics #raver #femaledj #dj #edm #trancecommunity #masada #delerium #silence ♬ Silence – Andrew Rayel & Achilles Remix – Delerium

Nifra Live at Masada Fortress placed the Slovakian trance artist at one of Israel’s most dramatic historic sites, high above the Dead Sea in the Judaean Desert. Masada is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its desert plateau, Herod the Great’s palace complex, and the remains connected to the Roman siege of 73 A.D. For the 2023 set, Nifra performed from the clifftops of Masada Fortress in partnership with Tiede Night’s, with the sunset timing giving the performance a direct visual connection to the desert landscape around the site. The result fits the article because it connects a known trance artist with a protected ancient fortress, without stretching the angle into a normal festival or unrelated event space.

Great Wall of China, China

Event:
Nina Kraviz at the Great Wall of China

Nina Kraviz played a sunrise set at the Great Wall of China in May 2018, turning one of the world’s most famous historic landmarks into a stripped-back techno performance with no need for festival-scale production. The set was filmed on the wall in the early morning, with the mountain landscape and stone watchtowers framing the performance as the light changed across the site. For an artist closely tied to underground techno, the location gave the set a very different feel from a club or warehouse show, placing her sound against a landmark known for Chinese history, military architecture, and centuries of preservation. The Great Wall is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, which makes Nina Kraviz at the Great Wall of China one of the most direct examples of a globally known electronic artist performing at a protected historic site.
