Trance music fanatics have a lot to look forward to in the coming year at multiple recently announced events in Bangkok and Pattaya.

Next month will see two Bangkok events for fans of the electronic music genre.

On Nov. 2, renowned trance artist Ferry Corsten will perform a solo show when he takes over the decks at RCA’s Onyx.

An artist with a discography going back over 30 years, he will likely dish out his feels-heavy, goosebumps-inducing tunes for fans to cry and hug each other. General admission tickets cost THB700.

The Unkonscious Music Festival is returning next year, but a few days after Corsten’s show, Onyx will host a party on Nov. 5 celebrating its return. It will be the first Unkonscious-related event to take place in Bangkok and will feature five international acts: Billy Gillies, Factor B, Ferry Tayle, Sam Laxton, and Will Rees.

Tickets are on sale now for THB1,300. Ticket holders get a 10% discount on tickets for the actual Unkonscious Music Festival, which will take place February in Pattaya.

Interestingly, attendees planning to rave at both Ferry Corsten and the Unkonscious party can buy tickets to both for THB1,500, saving THB2,000.

When Unkonscious, Asia’s biggest trance music festival, returns in February after a two-year hiatus, it won’t be at the usual Phuket beach, but rather at the Alexa Beach Club Pattaya.

The festival will be spread out over four days, beginning with a Feb. 7 boat party, another pre-party at a yet-to-be announced venue on Feb. 8, and the main event Feb. 9-10.

All events will require separate tickets.

The Feb. 7 boat party will be held at Pattaya’s Tappia Floating Cafe. Renowned German DJ Roger Shah will perform a sunlounger set. Tickets cost THB2,300. The boat will board from the Hali Pai Pier.

When the festival finally unfolds, both days at the Alexa Beach Club will include a pool party from noon to 4pm, and then a beach party from 4pm to midnight. As is to be expected, the festival will feature an epic international roster of trance music artists. As of publication time, artists announced include Aly & Fila, Omar Sherif, Metta & Glyde, David Rust, Alessandra Roncone, Greg Downey, David Forbes, and Liquid Soul.

Early bird tickets are currently available THB3,200. Those aged 20 to 23 can get them for THB2,300. Table packages are also available starting at THB12,000.
