Tomorrowland comes to Thailand in 2026
Start stockpiling glitter. Tomorrowland, the world's largest EDM music festival, is officially making its way to Thailand in 2026. You read that right. No need to fly to Belgium – the wonder is coming to us.
The news dropped after a high-level meeting in Bangkok on June 25, when Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra welcomed Tomorrowland's top executives, Bruno Vanwelsenaers and Filip Teelinck, to discuss plans to bring the full-scale festival to the kingdom. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the goal isn't just to host another music fest, but to position Thailand as Asia's EDM festival hub.
The move is expected to supercharge the nation's soft power strategy, boost tourism, and shine a global spotlight on Thai artists, culture and creativity. 'Tomorrowland in Thailand is one step closer to becoming a reality,' Paetongtarn shared in an Instagram post.
You'll find local food, traditional art and local cultural identity reflected throughout the entire Tomorrowland experience once it lands in Thailand.

Pregnant Shaughna replied: 'Yes! We definitely wouldn't have tried for this baby if he wasn't going to be here. 'I'm so intrigued to see how he's going to be at the birth because he is not good with blood AT ALL. 'So I feel like watching him react will take my mind off of what is happening.' Shaughna also shared her due date with fans, adding "Technically I'm due in November, but will likely be having a planned c-section so more than likely the baby will be here in October." Shaughna and Billy are already parents to two-year-old daughter Lucia. The Sun recently revealed how Shaughna and Billy managed to try for a baby despite his sentence. An insider said: 'Billy has been in a Category D prison, which means he has been able to spend a fair bit of time with Shaughna. 'He even managed to be home over Christmas, which meant a lot to her and, of course, Lucia. He hasn't been released as many people thought, but he has a lot of privileges.' Category D prisons - also known as open prisons - have minimal security and "low risk" inmates are allowed to leave the site to work, "resettle" or attend education during the day. Island's Shaughna Phillips announces she's pregnant with baby number two and says daughter will be 'best big sister' In November Shaughna shared a sweet clip of them visiting Santa with Lucia. She said at the time: 'If you had told me this time last year, that me and Billy would be taking Lucia to see Santa next Christmas, I probably wouldn't have let myself believe you 'The best couple of days, this Christmas is going to be so special.'

Club World Cup star's WAG fumes after run-in with police inside stadium
Karoline Lima, the girlfriend of Flamengo star Leo Pereira, was left fuming during the Brazilian side's 1-1 draw against Los Angeles FC in the FIFA Club World Cup but not for the reason you may think Influencer Karoline Lima was left fuming with police after watching her footballer boyfriend Leo Pereira play for Flamengo in the FIFA Club World Cup. The Brazilian WAG - who has almost six million followers on Instagram - has been a regular attendee of the matches in the United States. After watching the Brazilian side draw 1-1 with Los Angeles FC at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando which saw Flamengo claim top spot in Group D, pipping Chelsea by a point, controversy ensued inside the arena. Taking to her Instagram stories, Lima revealed that she was almost thrown out of the stadium by US police who approached her after the full-time whistle blew. According to the authorities, the influencer was not wearing a wristband that allows access in a section of the venue which is reserved for the players' families. "You don't understand, but I almost got kicked out," she said in the video. "When the game ends, Leonardo asks us to wait there so he can talk to us where we're sitting. Then out of nowhere, a bunch of police arrived, saying things in English, right?" Lima added that she attempted to explain that she was in fact family as she continued: "And I said, 'No, my friends, calm down. Let's talk. I'm family'. They said you had to have a wristband. All the family members have wristbands. Then the confusion started, everyone saying: 'Yes, she's family'. It was a big deal." Despite the stressful ordeal, the situation was resolved as Lima was eventually given a wristband. The drama at the Camping World Stadium wasn't an isolated incident for the influencer who also almost lost her bag after an argument with security prior to kick-off. The red heart-shaped bag, which has been labelled as lucky by fans due to her holding it during several Flamengo wins, was almost confiscated before the clash against LAFC due to bags not being allowed in stadiums in the United States. "The woman wanted to confiscate my heart-shaped bag," Lima revealed. "Here in the United States, they don't allow bags into stadiums. In fact, they have a size chart for permitted bags, and it's really small. I arrived here, and the woman wanted to confiscate my bag. I said, 'No, love. It will not be touched.' I took my bag and left. Here it is!" The bag certainly worked its magic as Flamengo clinched a vital point through Wallace Yan's 86th minute equaliser to ensure top spot in the group as they progress to the knockout stages of the global competition. The Brazilian giants - who defeated the Blues 3-1 in their second game of the tournament - face a tough test against Bayern Munich on Sunday. A quarter-final clash against the winner of Inter Miami vs Paris Saint-Germain awaits should they get past the German champions.
