Thailand has confirmed that Asia's first Tomorrowland music festival will be held in Pattaya in December 2026. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (BOI) has introduced a dedicated support program: LED rental screens, stage motion lighting, large-scale line array audio systems, and special effects equipment for international performances are exempt from import duties; visa and work permit applications for foreign artistic teams enjoy a one-stop green channel; events with investments exceeding 100 million Thai baht per event qualify for full support benefits. BOI further clarified that all major international tours, electronic music festivals, and outdoor concerts held in Thailand between 2026 and 2030 will benefit from the same duty-free policies for performance audiovisual equipment, ensuring sustained demand for equipment leasing, procurement, and system integration services throughout the year.
