Tomorrowland Shanghai Unveils Full Lineup for October Festival

International and Regional Acts Confirmed for Two-Day Event

Tomorrowland Shanghai 2026 has announced its full lineup for October 17 and 18 at Hero Dome in Shanghai, China. The second edition of The Magic of Tomorrowland will feature Tiësto, Axwell, Lost Frequencies, Alison Wonderland, MORTEN, Miss Monique, Joel Corry, ARTBAT, and R3HAB, alongside artists from China and across Asia. The festival will present different lineups across both days.

Two back-to-back sets are scheduled for the weekend: Cassian b2b Kevin de Vries and ARTBAT b2b R3HAB.

Planaxis Stage Returns with Shanghai-Exclusive Production

This year's edition brings a new MainStage inspired by Planaxis, the underwater theme first introduced at Tomorrowland Belgium in 2018. Hero Dome has been upgraded with a 99-meter curved LED screen and 80 ceiling screens for the production. Tomorrowland spokesperson Debby Wilmsen confirmed that this particular stage version will not appear elsewhere, with new elements created exclusively for the Shanghai shows.

The festival site is expanding with the debut of Harbour Villa, an exclusive GA+ area. Michelin food and beverage options, locally inspired merchandise, and brand activations will return. Budweiser, marking ten years of partnership with Tomorrowland, will introduce a limited-edition Planaxis Budweiser Magnum at the event.

Part of Wider INS SEA Entertainment District Launch

The Hero Dome upgrades are tied to the launch of INS SEA, a new entertainment area along the south Huangpu Riverside that includes both the venue and the Shanghai KPL Esports Center. Hero Esports co-founder and CEO Danny Tang said the redevelopment is intended to support more major entertainment events in the area.

Tickets are available through the INS Land App, WeChat Mini Program, Damai, Ticket Planet, Juss Sports, and Mei-Ta Selections. Single-day GA tickets are priced at ¥788, with GA+ at ¥1,288. Two-day passes cost ¥1,488 for GA and ¥2,388 for GA+. Following the festival's first edition in China last year, Tomorrowland confirmed plans to continue working with Hero Esports, INS LAND, and Budweiser in Shanghai.
