From massive EDM celebrations in India to internationally recognized festivals in Japan, Indonesia and South Korea, the region offers a remarkable variety of musical experiences. Based on the attendance figures provided for festivals in 2023–2024, Sunburn Festival in India stands at the top with an estimated 300,000 attendees.
Held in India, Sunburn Festival has grown into a major destination for electronic dance music fans, attracting audiences with international DJs, large-scale stages and immersive festival experiences. The festival describes itself as Asia's largest dance music festival, reflecting its enormous scale and international profile.
