Tickets to the show are available online with prices starting at Rp 800,000 (US$56). Those who want VVIP tickets can contact +6281398830318.
Similar to previous Sensation events, festival-goers must be dressed in all-white. The dress code aims to honor Miles Stutterheim, the younger brother of Sensation founder Duncan Stutterheim, who passed away in a car accident following the first Sensation event.
The festival was initiated by a group of young EDM enthusiasts who held a trance music party in a house garage in 1992. The first Sensation was held in 2000 at Amsterdam Arena (now known as The Johan Cruyff Arena) in the Netherlands.
The event is also slated to be held in Singapore for the first time and return to Thailand for the first time in four years. (wir/kes)
