Despite popular opinion from other premiere electronic dance music blogs, Tomorrowland is not going to Thailand. Entertainment company ID&T is looking to take their time and focus on their current productions, improving their already fantastic festivals.
The miscommunication of expansion was due to a translation error. World Planet Entertainment managing director was quoted as saying, “(Thailand) will host a Tomorrowland event” when in reality he said, “should be looking to host an event such as Tomorrowland”.
However, this does not mean that ID&T isn't looking to diversify their events. They disclosed that they'll be hosting two Unite events in Japan and India in the year and possibly more considering TomorrowWorld has been canceled.
Lastly, World Planet Entertainment released this statement:
“We will also have to be ready to facilitate the journey for festival-goers from other countries, specifically at the immigration control, because when people travel to the festival in other countries – Belgium, Brazil and the US – their personalized festival bracelet does all the work, including that of a passport.”
Very interesting to see how new technology will apply to music festivals moving forward.
