Wonderfruit
BY Jack Ramage
Wonderfruit stands at the epicentre of the East and Southeast Asian music scene.
Taking place annually at Siam Country Club, near Pattaya, Thailand, Wonderfruit has evolved into one of the most influential festivals in the region. Each year, it boasts a genre-spanning lineup that features talent from all corners of the Asian continent and beyond.
This four-day event fosters a laid-back, family-friendly vibe during the day, transforming into a dynamic and high-energy atmosphere by night; hosting acclaimed talents from across the dance music spectrum across multiple distinct and dazzling stages.
Previous editions have combined local and international selectors, bringing together the likes of Di Linh, Elaheh and Ffan with Helena Hauff, Monophonik, Patrick Watson and more. The upcoming tenth edition in December is poised to be the most extravagant chapter of this festival yet. Wonderfruit not only stands out in the way it champions East and Southeast Asian talent, and its stunning location, but also its strong commitment to the environment. The festival takes a firm stand against single-use plastics, emphasising the importance for attendees to leave no trace.
Wonderfruit is one of the finalists for Trippin 50, a cultural calendar featuring the best events around the world. Check out the Trippin 50 hub here.
