The long-running UK festival has organised previous Asia editions in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China, debuting in Thailand earlier this year in the city of Pattaya on May 28 and 29. The Thailand edition featured R3HAB, Fedde Le Grand, Jeffrey Sutorious, Jauz and more

Notably, the Thailand edition became a seated event with one day’s notice after a local police demanded attendees refrain from dancing – a call that was later disregarded by attendees. The sale and consumption of alcohol was also disallowed by the police, however.

Hardwell’s current ‘Rebels Never Die’ tour marks his comeback to live touring performances following a hiatus in 2018. The Dutch DJ released his second studio album, also titled ‘Rebels Never Die’, on September 9, which notably featured a departure from hardstyle that some quarters have dubbed Future Rave or Future Techno.
