Bangkok (Thailand) – December 25, 2014 – Thailand will host the “Maya Music Festival” in Bangkok on March 7, 2015, a world-class festival of Thai art and electronic music under the motto “A Wonder of Art, Magic of Sound”.

Organized by the Thailand-based FEEL Corporation with the support of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the first “Maya Music Festival: A Miracle of Art, Magical of Sound” brings a combination of the wonder of Eastern art and the magic of Western electronic music to the world’s first Naga-style stage, with state-of-the-art production and legendary DJ Steve Angello.

The elaborately designed Naga-style stage will help introduce unique Thai art to an international audience, as the event is expected to attract visitors from around the world.”
